HAPPY AND HEALING

8 days post Op, so far,  so good. After doing my research, checking credentials & meeting Dr. Dellinger I knew I had found my surgeon. Very minimum pain. Dr. Dellinger and his staff are very professional and caring. So far I couldn't be happier with the over all experience and feel I made the right decision. Now the healing begins!

I am 5 days post op, and it has been such a great and easy experience for me! I was not nervous about this & had done my research and was eager to have the procedure i done. I was tired of the shoulder pain, lower back pain and never being able to wear anything besides t-shirts and tank tops and receiving the uncomfortable & unwanted attention. I had a great experience at the hospital and the hospital staff was great they put me to sleep and when I woke up I felt like I'd only been out a few minutes and it was already done and I'm not kidding you I have had zero to the smallest amount of soreness! As a matter of fact I took one pain pill later that night when I left the hospital and the next day I think I took one when I woke up even though I really didn't need it and from then on out I would take a half of one here and there and in all honesty that half of one was more just for relaxation because I wasn't in pain maybe a little tender but not pain. I was sent home with drains which were annoying but I went to my first post op appointment 5 days after my surgery and they removed the drains (and please don't be scared of having the drains removed, it was the quickest.. I'm talking seconds and they were out and the first one felt just a little weird for about 2 to 3 seconds the 2nd drain they took out literally I did not feel that one come out) So now I'm on the road to recovery and I'm not going to lie they don't look real pretty right now. I don't have that much bruising and the bruising has healed quickly but they are a little boxy which is normal and to be expected. I haven't seen under the Steri' strip tape yet (the tape stays till it comes off on its own) It will be weeks before they start changing shape and looking a little better and months before they settle and take their more permanent shape. So as long as my healing process goes as well as the rest has I will try and be patient for the ending results, but I am very eager! I had the "lollipop procedure & I believe they took 3 lbs out total. I was a DD and now I am a C. It has been totally worth it so far and I am just over the moon that I'm where I'm at now and I'm so grateful, praise God! I'm going to post some pictures remember I only had surgery 5 days ago. God bless!
