Question: I am now 9 days post-op and sleep awful. I am still propped up on pillows and wake up several times during the night. Still in a bit of pain. I'm really not into taking diazepam but don't know what else to do? How long did it take before you slept normal again?

I could sleep flat after 4 days . We are all different so it might take time .

I used 5 pillows the first week and now on 3 but can sleep on my side. I havent tried flat but i will remove another pillow tonight. I slept all through the night from day 1. Ask ur doc if it continues. Regarding pain i had nearly none from day 5 post op. Good luck

7 days post-op - 1 week already! I love, love,...

good wines
7 days post-op - 1 week already! I love, love, love them. Have to say I look at them when I can. Maybe that's why men are so obsessed with them. They are quite beautiful :)

Yesterday went pretty well at work, although everyone said I looked like hell (always nice to hear huh). Slept great last night. I am not a back sleeper so it's been interesting getting used to it, but it's working. I have to admit I am kind of enjoying waking up at 5:00am, sitting on the couch to ice them down with my computer and coffee in hand. It's so relaxing.

I have an idea (this came to me at 2am when I woke up because I had one of those terrible dream of running through the court yard naked), I may say a brilliant idea for me... I have long hair. It has a funky wave that I have to blow dry out or I look really funny. The past week I've taken baths and hubby has been so sweet to wash my hair and even offered to blow dry it (his skills only go so far). For work my appearance is kind of important....so, I'm going to call a salon or walk-in hair place today to get a shampoo and blow dry! I thought this is great. Has anyone else done this? I don't know what else to do or how to look normal. Would make me feel awesome. My hair being in a pony tail all crazy just can't work for another 2 weeks.

If anyone had other ideas I would love to know :)

Hey good wines, congrats on the transformation! I am mother of two and also very petite. After breastfeeding I'm left with maybe an a cup. I wanted to reach out to you because I am also from providence ri and I haven't "shopped" around for a DR yet. (paying for the braces now so I can't afford both lol) Did you meet other doctors before choosing Dr. Sullivan? Or was he your first choice? After your good review, I'm motivated to atleast get a consult. By the way, thanks for your posts. They are really helpful! Take care!

I have so say with out a shadow of a doubt he was my surgeon. Yes, I met with two others and it wasn't even an option after meeting Dr. Sullivan. He is artistic and takes the shape and natural curves very seriously. He isn't into just given women larger breasts, he methodically looks at your needs, wants, history and develops a plan with you. I would say absolutly get a consult. I found that he is a bit more expensive but worth every single dime. His staff, private suits at the Hospital (actually does it at 2 Dudley Street, and the most amazing anesthesiologist I have ever met (and I'm in the medical field). Good luck on your search and please don't hesitate to ask any questions!

Day 7 post-op. Work was pretty brutal yesterday....

good wines
Day 7 post-op. Work was pretty brutal yesterday. Too many clients, no rest and was up at 3:30 because of the engorgement. Kind of wish I took a few more days off. Still excited about what's to come. Just need to hold out a few more weeks.

Happy your first day back to work went ok .

Hi Sissy - work was a bit rough, but got through :). I woke up this morning in no pain and not the engorgement as I have had in the past few days. Maybe a fluke but I'm liking it. I have to say I've been enjoying being up at 5:30, sitting on the couch with my computer and coffee and icing away.

Let me now when you start running and working out again. I'd like to know how it goes.
