Tomorrow is Surgery Day!!! Excited - New York, NY

oops... here: http://www.realself.com/review/new-york-ny-breast-reduction-tomorrow-surgery-day-excited-in-nyc

1 month post op and decided to update/post some pics...!! have at them ladies!

1 month post op for right boob at least! 3 wks post for left nipple. wish i could say all has gone smoothly but a couple of hiccups. No worries though. Will just have to be patient. Still really adore my Doc. and think she's done a fabulous job. My back and shoulder pain is non-existant and my posture is so much better. Clothes fit me properly at last. I wish i could be working out or playing tennis or swimming but that will all have to wait a bit. I am thrilled with the results. Posted some pics.
Warm Regards and Thanks to the group for all the support...

Thank you Iowa and Fantasia... I called the Doc yesterday and he recommended the piggyback with Tylenol just as you mentioned, Iowa. Also to start with 3 Advil and see if that helps keep the discomfort at bay for a bit longer. So basically I've got 6 total pills of each to space out through my waking hours... I will try to do the math on that and make sure I am within a safe range. Thanks again.
Also-- apropos of nothing. Really glad my tshirts aren't baring my midriff anymore. They are just normal tshirts. !!!
Have a great day-

A question for the group. okay--- so i am 3 and a half weeks post-surgery...at least on one side and the other side is a week behind as sutures had to be re-stitched a week later. So... i am off the heavy pain meds and using advil but i'm not supposed to take more than 6/day. I've been spacing them out in the morning, afternoon and evening but i have to resume my normal days here and this dosage is just not cutting it. I feel the discomfort and it makes me feel shut down and fragile. i don't want to resume the narcotics but don't know how to boost the OTC pain meds. Any ideas? what did you do 3+ wks out?
thanks so much,
