Happy So Far! - Originally a 36H - 34 Years Old
Hi everyone. I will try and give as much information as I can seeing as how the website helped me SO much.
I am one day post-op. I have not taken my surgery bra off yet (I know how I'd react if I did :) surgery is not pretty). I'm so happy with how they look. I do not know the size of my breasts and I'm still pretty swollen but I was able to fit in a medium-sized shirt and I haven't been able to do that since Jr. High.
Since there is a pandemic going on I had to get a negative Covid test before my surgery on July 21st. I had the test the Thursday before. I had to quarantine after my test, which was hard because I barricaded myself in my room and wore a mask if I walked around the house. My family members wore a mask if I was out of my room or they came to see me.
The day of the surgery went pretty smooth. I checked and had to pay little bit because I had not reached my deductible...ugh. My mom was not allowed to accompany me in the surgery center but the staff made it real easy to be by myself. My PS usually takes around 5 hours to do the surgery so I was wearing compression socks and had something wrapped around each leg, that would be plugged into a machine during surgery, to prevent blood clots. It was not uncomfortable at all. After getting some warm blankets and an IV, I talked to the PS and anesthesiologist and we were ready to get started. Ask lots of questions, it will put you at ease. I walked down to the surgery room and my surgeon had on 60's music. I LOVED it, it made me feel more comfortable seeing how relaxed she was.
I was given anesthesia and I don't remember anything but waking up in recovery. I was given a catheter but it was done after I went to sleep and before I woke up. The surgeon said I might feel some soreness from it but I did not feel a thing. I was a little horse and my throat was a tiny bit sore from the tube but throat lozenges helped a lot.
I had a 45 to an hour drive home. It was good. There were a few bumps along the way that hurt but that's it. Bring a pillow to put between you and the seat belt. It really helped. I did not feel nauseous at all. I was given plenty nausea medication that I took the day before and the day of surgery. I usually hate taking pain pills, but it has been great not getting behind on the pain. It will creep up on you but it's not super terrible and I'm such a wimp :) I was told to get up and walk to the kitchen every hour or so to keep the blood in legs circulating. I did receive drains and my mom helps me with those. I couldn't imagine doing it on my own. We have to document how much is drained. I see my PS on Friday, July 24th, and I think they will be coming out.
Make sure you buy zip or button up shirts so you won't be trying to lift your arms. I have not bought any more bras (surgical or not) since I will be swollen for awhile and not know my actual size. The surgical center put one on me and sent me home with an extra one. Ice packs on for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off have been wonderful. My PS also have me a small shopping list of things for after the surgery. Not expensive at all and I was able to use my medical flex card to get them. I was also told to start taking vitamins 2 weeks before the surgery to help the healing process. No Vitamin E (can lead to bleeding) or fish oil (can have a blood thinning effect). I was advised to start taking Zinc and Vitamin C. I propped tons of pillows on my bed to helpe sit up. Sleeping on my back has been a booger bear, but I'm making it work. So far, my experience has been great, I can already tell a difference. From what my mom told me, the surgeon removed 1,000-1,500 grams (I think that's the measurement) from each breast. Equivalent to about 6lbs total. Yikes! I did not do a free nipple great. My PS used the anchor method. I was so happy about that. She got me at small as could without doing a free nipple graft.
I will continue to post pics. Sorry it's such a long post. I hope those considering getting a BR can and will. It's a total game changer.
