Here's another thing that's different -- maybe it explains why all my bras are too tight. (No, they didn't give me implants while they were rooting around in there!)
I am at my pre-surgery weight, and I'm not retaining fluid in my thorasic cavity right now -- the massive steroids are keeping it away.
I hadn't noticed anything special about the way my clothes fit, but today I put on a dress that I haven't worn since surgery, and it's tight around the ribcage. Not the abs, buns, bust, shoulders.... just the ribcage area.
I remember back when I was pregnant an aerobics instructor telling us that sometimes women's ribcages never quite "shrink back" to pre-pregnancy size. I'm wondering if, once you crank open a chest, if it doesn't quite go back to pre-surgery size.
I seriously doubt men would notice this -- if their clothes fit this close, they would be the very stretchy kind. So ladies -- anyone get a little wider after surgery?

I would have appreciated these girls 10, 20 years ago!
