WORTH IT
So now I am 2 weeks post op. Healing has gone pretty well. I had no pains so I didn't have to take pain meds. I did have a huge problem sleeping. I would sleep for 4 hours only at a time. So my doctor told me to take Tylenol pm.. which worked REALLY good (THANK GOSH). I got my stitches out yesterday- I think I only have a few left. I had tried to buy a bra... but I am still pretty swollen, so I am just happy with sports bras for now.. especially since I use to never be able to wear them!

How are things for you this week Darla?? Any changes in the healing? Anything important to share like aches, pains, difficulty, successes? Just checking in. I"m 14 days out and getting really really scared!
hehe- sorry i dont always come on here. Im doing good. I can't say that I've had too many, or any problems at all! I never had to take a pain pill... or anything.
my swelling did go down a lil... last month lane bryant sized me at 40ddd/e... last week they sized me at 42 (which is true, I saw the bra strap marks, so ya) C/D.
YAYA! I have acquired a HEAT RASH (its been super hot) So heads up, make sure you keep the area as dry as possible!! I put a gauze pad in between my bra/ boob (Its my underboob)

Well, my surgery was on Tuesday ( the 10th of july) it was about 4 hours long. all I remember was talking to the anesthesiologist...then waking up throwing up. I did a lot of it that day.. They said they removed about 1070 grams from each side. I have yet to really look at my boobies just because I have drains still, and I dont really want to see the drains!
I will up date more later after the drains go bye bye!
