Hi Susan
I had the bi lateral mastecomy too and mine often felt too tight too, it still does when I get tired or don't take in enough fluids.
It's a crappy time and having to have an extra surgery sux. It takes time to process all that has happened and time to find out what the new normal is. Apart from the physical wounds, there are also the emotional wounds that tend to get overlooked. I saw a physologist (under protest) but proved to be very beneficial for me.
Also coming here is a step in the right direction too, we have been there. I am actually at home recovering from having my ovaries removed on Tuesday, so feeling a bit sad and sorry for myself too today, but tomorrow I will pick myself up, dust off and keep on keeping on planning all the fun things I can do with my life.
Much love and support huny, we are here for you.
