WORTH IT
Well, I saw my surgeon for my 1 year post and there was a few things that bothered me and had surgery 1/8. Under my left breast I had drainage from pus filled areas. I find out this week if it was cysts, abscess, or dissolvable sutures that didn't do their job. Under my right armpit, where my drainage tube was, when it was removed it puckered out and never went flat.....so now it should be flat, as that was corrected. There is steri strips on both sides and so far, no reactions to the adhesive. I see doc on the 23rd for post op. I'm glad it's done, and looking forward to moving forward with no more surgeries. I'll try to take some pics soon.

1 year post-op

lovelessofme
I went to see my surgeon for my 1 year post-op surgery for my reduction. The nurse asked if I had any concerns, issues, etc... I did....under my left armpit where my drainage tube was is puckered up and is ultra mega sensitive. And on my left breast at the scar line I get hard lumps that are pimple like and drain. So doc comes in and looks at the puckered thing under my armpit....and touched it...ouchie.... She said she couldn't not guarantee that the spot would not be sensitive but she could flatten it out. The she believes the spots at my scar line are cysts....and she can remove them as well.
I recently returned to school to become a nurse and she said that we could do the surgery over my break...so January 5 or 8th can't remember right now is my surgery. I have a preop in December then I go under the knife again...
I am disappointed that I will have another surgery...but will be happy to get these things healed the right way. I would post pics but can't on my iPad.

6 months and counting

It has been 6 months and 11 days since my reduction. It's funny I can barely remember what it was like before. Other than the stares....and summer time heat yuck. I am sooooo happy I did this for myself. It was for me. I look so more portioned now. I have not had 1 migraine since the surgery. Actually last month I went to a family reunion and one of my cousins ran up to me and said my gosh how much weight did you lose? She didn't know about the surgery :) and she never will....lol. Bra shopping is fun now and I don't HAVE to go to the speciality stores if I don't want to. I can go to kohls targets...etc...I do have to watch some bras as they hit my incision scar, I still lotion every day with vitamin e. sometimes my scars look really good and others they tend to be more prominent. I would post pics but, my computer broke and can't post them using the iPad. I find myself being more active, more outgoing.....and even found myself signing up to go back to college to become a nurse..... At 40 years old none the less... I am more confident than I ever have been. So if your reading this and on the fence..... Research your surgeon, and meet with more than one in the area, read stories here to get a general idea, mentally prepare yourself....buy a wedge pillow, and few bags of frozen peas. You will need help the first 2 weeks..... Any questions just ask.....
