WORTH IT$11,000
Feeling better today, but also little down because I'm realizing my incision is a little higher than I would have wanted it. It won't be hidden by my panty line or bikini bottoms (I never wore a bikini before but thought I may after this). I am high waisted with a short torso, so I wear things lower, so there is no way I would ever wear anything over the incision line. I thought I asked everything in my Pre op, but obviously forgot one major thing. Still confident in my doc choice, but sad about the visible scar I will have and not being able to cover. :(

Last drain out today!!! So glad. I feel like a new woman. I thought they were going to have to remove fluid from my right side via syringe, but the doc said it was part of the drain that had slid to my right side from the left. Yikes! Now I just need to remember to still not over do it although I don't have that drain reminding me...

Woohoo for getting your drain out:-) don't over do it- I did and my right boob incision opened up.

Yikes, thanks for the advice. I am worried about overdoing it. Trying really hard not, too. I feel so good, it's hard after sitting around for 2 weeks.

Wow! You look so great! My surgery is next Thursday. I am a little nervous but so exited. Did you had the pain pump?

Thanks! I did get the pain pump. Had my surgery on a Thursday and the pain pump was in for 72 hours. Honestly, the pain was manageable. The nurses told me to stay on my pain meds and stay ahead of the pain, which I did through the weekend(took my Percocet every 4 hours regardless of how I felt). I felt that it really helped me to stay ahead of the pain...relaxed muscles heal better than tense ones:) you will do great!!! Good luck!

It'll feel good to have that last drain out. Thanks so much for sharing your experience so far. What's been the hardest part about recovery at this point?

I would say having to deal with the drains. The pain was manageable and not as bad as I expected. It sounds silly, I know, but I can manage pretty well, but the drains really got to me for some reason.
