Was Scared, but Finally Got the Surgery! - Connecticut, CT

Hi again! So everything was going so lovely until I broke out into a major rash around my boobs- with unbearable itching! I have been up since yesterday afternoon the itching is so bad. I went to my PS this morning and turns out I am allergic to the medical tape/adhesive.

My advice is to ask the PS/hospital for paper tape-esp if you have sensitive skin. This has been complete torture- it's like I don't even know I had surgery the itching is so bad. I do not have sensitive skin at all- which is why I am shocked I am having this reaction.

Another thing it may possibly be is an allergy to the sutures (dissolvable stitches)- I recommend asking for removable stitches- if I ever have to get something stitched up again I will request this, just to be on the safe side. I never want to have to go through this again. I bought Benadryl and cortisone cream but it's hardly working so far.

Other than this they are looking great and I am feeling great mobile-wise.

I forgot to add that I already have nipple sensation/feeling which I am THRILLED about! They tell you there's a chance you may never again! But don't lose hope ladies- it's only been 4 days for me and I have full fledged feeling- hardening and all haha.

Still doing really well! The pain is very minimal with the pain pills- however the pain pills are so strong they make me feel a little crazy. I'm so dizzy, lightheaded, and tired on them- I am hoping to switch to Advil soon! I can take my tape off in a few days which will give me better pics to update with. Right now they still pretty much look the same! I am loving it!
