POST OP day 5
so today is post op day 5. I don't have any pictures to update you guys with, but things have been going well. I have been doing really well thankfully. I have been by myself since post op day 3 because my boyfriend had to go back off shore. I had very little pain in general and have been off the major pain medicines since day 4. The Percocet has been making me itchy and giving me a headache. So I've been taking just Tylenol during the day and 1 percocet at night which puts me to sleep. I have to wear the dreaded strap til monday when I go to my post op. They are really high right now and feel huge. I know that they are swollen, but Im really hope they go down with the whole D&F process. I have been able to raise my arms above my head since day 2 and I started massages then as well. I am getting pretty bored just sitting around the house all day with my 2 pups, so I am ready to go back to work on tuesday. I will try and post pictures as soon as I can get some good ones.
Surgery was today! July 14th. 400/425 CCs silicone Mod Plus
So I had to be at the Destin Plastic Surgery Center at 730 for surgery at 830. I live an hour plus away so we left at 530. Got there about 715. The nurse came and grabbed my while my boyfriend waited outside. First thing she did was take a little of my medical history and then asked me for a urine sample to take a pregnancy test. After that I got in to my gown and those annoying stockings lol. The nurse then went to put the IV in. I've never had an IV & even though I have had tattoos and plenty of shots I was still very nervous. It went a lot smoother than I thought and my boyfriend was allowed come in afterwards. I started to get even more nervous and freaking out so having him there calmed me down. Then the anesthesiologist was absolutely wonderful and completely put me at ease. Dr.Burton came back and we reaffirmed what I wanted and he said we would begin shortly. They put a sedative in my IV and wheeled me back to the OR. The last thing I remember was moving to the operating table and then lights out. I woke up surprisingly easy from the anesthesia. I helped dress myself, drank some water, and then got in to the wheelchair. We left around 1045. The ride home was super smooth and I took a nap most of the way. I got home ate a small meal and took my medicines (Percocet, a nausea medication, stool softener, bromelain, and arnica). I've been in and out of sleep all day, but NO real pain. just a lot of pressure. Ive had no nausea either which was one of my biggest worries. It could be because I am keeping up with my pills, I'm not sure. My boyfriend has been absolutely wonderful, getting me my medicines, food, water, and helping me up. It has been so much easier having him here with me. I have to wear the band in my pictures for a week until I go see him for post op. I do get to shower tomorrow which will be amazing! My incisions are dissolvable and have a glue covering them. Over all I feel great! I just took my medicine so I am bout to pass out! ill update in a couple of days.
Surgery July 15th. Birthday present to myself!
So, I had originally scheduled my surgery for August 15th. I have moved it up to July 15th due to my boyfriends off shore schedule. Preop will be June 30th! Excited. But even more nervous now! We had originally talked about me becoming a full C, but now I'm not sure of I want to be that big. I didn't try on any sizers at my consultation & I am not 100% sure if we will do them at my Preop. So I am planning on doing rice sizers something this weekend to really get an idea. Pictures to follow. Any of you ladies have asthma & gone under general anesthesia? My asthma isn't super severe, mostly brought on my allergies, which can be pretty bad depending on the weather. So im kinda nervous about that. What do I need to do to start preparing? Like taking certain vitamins? Or using oils? I want to avoid stretch marks as much as possible. Thanks ladies!
