Feeling better
$5,600
So it's post op day 8 and I'm starting to feel so much better. I work from home and was actually able to spend some time at the desk yesterday. Also did some laundry and a little tidying up around the house.
Yesterday, I also HAD to try on some of my old shirts. Wow, I know there is still a lot of swelling going on but some of them were amazingly filled out. We are going to Kauai in about 3 weeks and I will definitely need new bathing suits, the old ones don't cover much at all, oh darn!
I feel like they are still high though. I have been wearing my breast band and doing my massage. I have my second follow up this afternoon, so I'll see what the doc says.

Emotional
Post op day 6. Feeling a little under the weather today. No temp though. I'm also very emotional, it's like I just want to cry. Maybe the toll of all the physical changes, I don't know. I have got to say, even though surgery and recovery are as they should be, I was not prepared for the amount of pain I have experienced. I'm really tired of hurting and just tired in general. Can't wait to get back to my old self.

Im so glad your surgery went well. You are only 6 days po give yourself time to heal and feel better. I know what you mean we are never prepared for as much pain as we will go through. Its probably best that we dont know what were in for after sugery. It is alot of pain but believe me it will pass and you will be happy when its all healed. I cried almost everyday for a couple weeks. I did have a tt and breast lift and lipo all at the same time. I would cry for no reason at all i couldnt explain why i was so emotional for weeks. I really think the body is in shock and the anesthia is leaving our body and makes us feel like were loosing our minds. Its just all a part of the healing process and your not loosing your mind its completly normal. Im 9 weeks po today actually and am feeling so much better like myself again i havnt cried in weeks. So I promise all of this is normal and will pass. So just cry it out and know in a couple weeks it will all be fine!!!

It does gets better, Promise. I am post op day 9, days 1-5 were great, days 6-8 not so good, stiff, tender, incision site is a little sore, and I would kill for a good night sleep. today I woke up feeling fine, so I will go shopping and make the most of it, I expect to have good days and not so good days for the next 3 to 4wks, I have to wear my surgical bra for 6weeks, so I wont be real happy until I can take that off. Hope you feel better soon.

Post op day 3
Went to dinner with friends last. It went well and 2 out of the 3 knew I had surgery. It definitely felt good to get back home and use ice though.
Today is definitely less uncomfortable. Feel really tired. Have beek using stool softeners but no BMW since before surgery. Going to send hubby to get actual laxatives.
Attaching a couple of pics. Still pretty swollen. First follow up is tomorrow afternoon and I'll get my breast band. That should help move them down a bit.

Hi, good luck with your recovery, There going to look great on you. I had my revision on 19th, I have bruising and swelling, but it eases everyday, I am 49 and had 615cc extra high profile anatomical implants.

Congrats! You look great! I used Dr. Guerra for my surgery too and I love him! Good luck on your recovery.
