Much better day today. I had my drain removed. It did not hurt, but it felt very weird. I got to take my compression garment off today and have a shower for the first time. Felt amazing. Washed the garment so I had a couple of hours off wearing it and I felt so much better without it. I put it back on this evening and I feel extremely uncomfortable again. It feels way to tight and it feels like it is pulling on my incisions. Boobs are great, high and swollen, but no pain at all. Feeling alot of tightness and numbness in the tummy.
Do you guys have the same issues with the garments? Mine is a one piece, I also have a roll of gauze taped in between my new girls. My surgeon wants me to keep it there to make sure they stay in proper place until Wed. When I have that removed I will send pics.
Hi, I just went through the TT, BA with lift Feb 6. I have a similar story in which I gained too much weight during my first pregnancy. I got up to 215lbs. I have had two more kids since then, and didn't gain nearly as much weight. I am 41 5'6 and maintain a weight of 125lbs for the last 4 years. But my breasts and tummy looked very similar to yours.There was a lot of excess loose skin which was challenging for the surgeon since it had lost all if it's elasticity. I am now 3 days PO. And managing well. I have had the compression garment on so I don't know the results yet, but I will post pics on Monday when I can take the garment off. I opted for 360 cc cohesive gel, they are swollen and sitting high right now, but I think I will be very happy with the size when they settle down. Good luck to you and congrats on the weightloss!
I am with you on the gas pains. They were pretty intense at times yesterday. Haven't been to the washroom yet, despite taking senokot and colace. But I have been on pretty much a liquid diet. Feeling a little queasy and groggy today. I think all the meds and antibiotics are becoming too much for my body. Will try to sleep alot today.
Wow you look amazing! Must feel so good to have a shower. I will most likely have the drain removed on Monday, and I get to shower then. Had a good long sleep last night, and woke up feeling noticeably better. Not doing so well eating though, I never feel very good after I eat. I have been eating soups, yogurts, vegetable juices toast and crackers. Are you girls okay with eating?
