WORTH IT
Ok, this is 13 day post of and I have done the best that I ever thought I could do. And all that depression and moods swings were PMS, ladies!!!!
I still have a little bruising and swelling, not bad......I hurt under my arms, where the lipo. My boobs do hurt and sore, sometimes have sharp pains, but all in all, everythings great!!! I drove Friday for the first time, my straight shift and it made me hurt and tired, so I will back off from that for a while. My fiance is taking off Tues to take me to the dr to get my steri strips off.
I highly recommend this surgery, what I highly recommend the most, is my doctor. Dr. Yates, from Dunagan, Yates, and Allison from Huntsville, AL. I'm not the only one who has used him, I run across people everyday whom I talk to about my surgery and low and behold, they have used him too!!!!! WOW!!

6th day post-op. Well, today I actually feel ok as far as the surgery is concerned. I have sharp pains sometimes, like its real sensitive to the touch. I was hoping to get off the pain pills, but sometimes they make me feel better with the sharp pains and with my head also. If I could get rid of this junk in my head, I would feel absolutely marvelous!!! I believe today is the first day I have actually felt a little like my self. I will be 100% myself before long. Can't wait. This surgery was worth it.

Hello, I was just reading your posts.. Glad you are feeling a bit better.. I am 5 weeks post op day and feeling really good, not 100 percent I wouldn't go jog and I don't like reaching up etc but generally good..the depression stage reminded me of me..( read my posts)..I was all over the place, one minute so happy I done this and the next I was wondering what the heck I had done..but just remember its all
Part of the healing it takes physical and mental healing....we are not used to seeing ourselves ( kinda chopped up) I used to call it..it felt so gruesome to me in the early days and week 3 for some reason was my worst week ever with the blues...but it all passes, just keep looking ahead to when the discomfort is gone and summer time ..whoop, strapless dresses, tank tops..here I come!...good luck you. Happier days are ahead!...
OMG!! Thank you soooo very much. I didn't know what the heck was going on with me. I thought at one time that it's because I'm supposed to start my monthly this week. Your comment has helped me alot. It also gets boring sitting around the house and I don't really have anything to do or go. I am trying so hard to make the best of it because I LOVE my new boobs and wouldn't change it for nothing. I do not regret having this surgery at all. This is my 2nd week so I will try to prepare myself for next week, incase I'm like you during that week. lol Oh my goodness. Anyway, hopefully, I'm fully recovered by my 6th week because that's when I go back to work full force. I unload mail, heavy mail. Oh, I also find that pain pills sometimes help me with my mood swings than the clonopins I have. Weird, huh?
Well, thank you for commenting and you have helped me. Have a good day :O)
Hey.. I just read your posts too.. Totally normal to feel like you just want everyone to sod off... I pretty much just wanted to sit quietly and doze in and out of sleep.. I couldn't even be bothered to read. I think the pain pills were messing with my eye sight though. I had trouble focusing. It definitely gets much better the 2nd week and as you ween off the pills.. I just took one at night for pain after the first 4 days i think. I still like to take the Xanax to sleep now.. Think i need to stop using it as a crutch.. Its just hard when you are not able to sleep in the position that you normally do.. So I don't think you feel fully rested. Then you are uncomfortable which makes you cranky, Hence the term "Bear with a sore head". Don't beat yourself up. Give yourself a while and allow yourself to be pissed off if you want. You have been through a lot. Just explain to your fiance.. that you can't help it, but your pissed off and may snap at him. Is your Mom and Grandmother on board with the whole decision yet? Or is that still hanging out there? Thats probably not helping either if thats the case. I am really close to my Mum and to think that she may have been against it would really have sent me into turmoil. Hope you are doing OK today :)
Oh yea, my mom and grandma are totally ok with it now. Now that they see I'm alive after surgery lol. That's what they were worried about. Yea, I think maybe my fiance understands. He basically just wants to know that I still love him. I told him nothing has changed that I WILL feel depressed and down and out and want to be by myself some. He thinks that in a crisis like this that you should want to be with the one your most closest too. Well, that's not true, in my opinion, because I wanted to be by myself. But, all in all I think everything will be ok soon. As today, I feel ALOT better than I have since surgery. I'm just laying around watching tv. I'm ok today. Thank you for asking and thank you for your comment. It helps to see other people who have gone through the same surgery.

5th day post-op. Still a little depressed. I'm doing ok though. I think maybe once I get to do things for myself more, as in taking a shower and not feeling weird about myself, I think maybe I will feel better. I stepped in the tub yesterday and it felt weird. I felt like I had no boobs! I've always been self-conscious and still am in a way. I still feel like this was the best decision for me. So, I'm going to hang in there and take it one day at a time. Good luck to any of you ladies considering this surgery. It's worth it! There's side effects, but it's worth it!!
