4 day post op

Well I had my pre-op Monday and I'm finally getting excited about the surgery. Before now it just felt like it was a long ways away! I will keep everyone posted. My ps recommends a sports bra and I'm going home in ace bandages. He told me he doesn't recommend surgical bras bc they are expensive, won't use it again after this, and they are very uncomfortable! I was excited to hear that!

Well tomorrow is the big day! I know this is crazy but I'm not nervous yet. I think it's still a dream, I've been waiting for so long I don't think it has hit me that it will soon be a reality!! I will keep everyone posted!

Well the surgery went well. I got to the hospital at 10 and they took me back at 11:15. The nurse told me to take everything off and put in the needle for the iv. The dr came in next and drew on me and said that we would start soon. Right after that the anesthesiologist came in and said that she was putting something in my iv for anxiety. Next thing I knew I woke up in the same room and thought "Have we started yet?" Then I looked down and was wrapped up and realized we were done. I didn't even see the surgery room. Oh well....everything I put into my mouth came back up. I finally kept down a couple Popsicles and stayed on Vicodin. I took a bath from the waist down and the over the head stretches helped out a lot.

Today, I stayed off the Vicodin and just took Tylenol extra strength. I felt pretty good today. I wish I could sleep on my side but it puts too much pressure on my breasts. So far I've just felt a lot of pressure and soreness, at times it felt like they were engorged like when your pregnant. I'm excited and nervous to take off the ace bandages tomorrow. I will take pics tomorrow and post them.

Things are going good, just wishing the tightness would go away! I hope everyone else is doing great!
