I'm in pain. My back, neck, and shoulders hurt. I have been big chested since I was a teenager. Im 44yrs old. I have considered getting a BR for at least 20 years, I tried to get insurance approval years ago, but was told I needed to loose weight first. My PCP didnt even try to help me.

It has been a rough 11 days, but by Gods grace I am making it. My BR surgery was Jan 8, 13. It went well and instantly I felt relief from the neck, shoulder, back pain that I was experiencing. I developed a left breast hematoma, and had to have another breast surgery on Jan 16, 13. I still have my drainage tubes, but I am feeling good. Im sooooo glad that I had a BR. I look great!!!

My drains were removed yesterday...which was 13...

My drains were removed yesterday...which was 13 days after my BR yeah baby!!! Wow is all I can say...Going that long without taking a shower is insane,,,,anyway...Dr said everything looks good....I got a lil erosion at the anchor site of the left breast which he said was to be kinda expected being that I had a 2nd surgery on the left breast due to a hematoma...Dr wants me to use triple antibiotic ointment and bandaid, or small gauze on the site....... will post pictures later....Im in love with my new girls...lol
