WORTH IT
Hard to believe its already November but time does fly when you're having fun and the last month has been awesome! I did have some extreme swelling and a spot opened up which began to leak gallons of fluid, no I'm not lying, there was literally gallons pouring out for about two days! The dr said it was better that my body found a way to heal itself rather than him drain it and as long as it didn't smell funny it was probably not infected! Anyhow it drained and then everything just healed right up. I started using eucerin for my extremely dry itchy and overly sensitive nipples and palmers oil for my scars which is working wonders and helping to soften some hard areas in my breasts! Overall I feel great and now I'm so glad I made the decision to go through with it!

Happy to hear that your recovery is going well. How is your pain as compared to before surgery? Have you noticed improvement? I am having surgery at the end of the month. I am a 38 h/i and I too am dealing with chronic back, neck and shoulder pain. Hoping that it will really make a difference and would love to hear from someone from the other side :)

Glad everything went well! I'm in the Denver area and am getting Kaiser insurance in January and really want BR surgery. Was it easy to qualify? And who was your surgeon? I'm trying to figure out whose the best Kaiser one in the area.

Feeling much better the past two days. Yes they are ver sore and still swollen quite a bit and having some oozing etc but saw the nurse yesterday and she said everything looks normal and really well and to just keep on doing what I'm doing! I think I'll be a full c cup when all returns to normal. My biggest goal at this point is healing and then being able to sleep on my side again! I also can't wait to burn this surgical bra but the doc said one more week of it full time to ease the swelling!

Today the undersides of my breasts are hurting more than before and itching and it feels like someone kicked me in the ribs. Some of my steri strips came off so I went and bought more and had my hubby put them back on. He said there's a couple spots that look like holes! Is that normal, or is this a splitting incision? Also he notice one of the stitches coming out but just left it alone, wondering what I'm supposed to do with that too! This healing process gets me too nervous wish I could just fast forward!

The stitches poking through are normal. You can clip them at the skin or leave them be. Some people do have small openings. You might want to call your PS and see what he would like for you to do regarding it. Be patient and rest...it won't be much longer until you are feeling better!
