Hi everyone! thank you so much for your...
WORTH IT
Hi everyone! thank you so much for your concerns/wishes.
I actually came home the day of surgery and rested...I was only on percocet and I am off it now...I took it for about a day and then thought I could handle the pain :)
I am now 2 days post-op and am healing nicely :D
I dont remember being put to sleep at all, one second I was on the bed being told I should feel all relaxed, the next I was being woken up in the recovery room....I was very groggy and was mostly in and out of sleep in the recovery room, the pain wasn't too bad (probably a 5 out of 10)....I was on Percocet for the next two-something hours before I was sent home.
I was bandgaed up really tight for about 24 hours before I went into post-op appointment to get changed into a bra...and that is when i really got to see them....they are so small! :):):):):):) probably a small C right now...but I already feel so light...you read all these stories where women have gone through this and say how light they've felt and you expect to feel that way as well...but you truly only feel the benefits once you've gone through the surgery yourself...the lightness, the feeling of not being 'pulled forward' by the huge weight on your chest....I can already sit up straighter.. :)
Right now, I am in my old DD bra and it is so much looser than before yay! But I read somewhere that even when the sweeling goes down, the final size tends to go up as the breasts get rounder/fuller? is this true? What do you ladies think? Will my boobs get bigger or smaller as the swelling goes down? also I have this excess weight to lose and really hope my breasts dont start sagging...they are so perky right now :D also, ice helps with the swelling right? and how important is a surgical/compression bra? My surgeon told me to not worry about that and to just wear a bra without an underwire :s I am not sure what to do about that...
If you have any questions please ask! Id love to answer all of you :)

Oh gosh, I didn't want to hear that you are in pain. Are you taking your pain meds? Try not to prove anything to yourself by denying pain meds. It's hard for the body to heal efficiently when it's under stress, and pain is stress.
Hi Wildflower. Hope your pain level is better. Hang in there. It's definitely a process that takes a little time. You'll feel stronger everyday. Rest up and take it easy.

Glad it's finally coming here! Don't worry everything will be fine. Praying for you to have a successful surgery and quick recovery. Tell your friends, if they are as close as you say, they'll understand more than your think.
thank yooou :) I am hoping this time tomorrow id be happyyy with everything. And yep I'm still debating about telling the friends thing but I think like you said, they'll understand and I feel like this is such a big thing for me so they should know... :/
Wishing you all the best and I can't wait to hear how your doing. You should read "that's why your fat" by Jackie Warner (horrible title). It has been life changing for me and I was easily able to drop my baby weight and have kept it off.
aww thank you!! will def check that book out, I've felt like a thin girl stuck in a fat suit for so long now... :( but once this surgery is over and I am all recovered, I am gonna work my butt of losing the extra pounds :) xo
Good Luck wildflower, I will be praying for you!!
Good Luck, hopefully everything goes well!
How did everything go, Wildflower? Hope you are resting and feeling relatively well.
Take some of your pain medication and rest! And take the medicine around the clock for the next 24 hours to help avoid the pain, but also be aware of constipation and take any steps necessary to prevent that. Good luck!
