3 weeks since surgery
It's been 3 weeks since surgery and I'm loving the new look. I do however have one place under my right breast that is refusing to heal. The doctor looked at it at my follow up appointment last week and said it looked fine. It just bothers me that it's still open when everything else is healed and the stitches are disappearing
I am loving being able to buy bras off the rack and how my clothes look on me now. I do have this horrible stomach that I need to lose and will work on that soon. I've been cleared for exercise but I want to wait until that one spot heals up better before I start moving too much.

First Outing
Yesterday (Friday) was one week post op. I decided I had enough of being home and wanted to go shopping. So off I went. That was a mistake. I got into the first store and got light headed, hot, and clammy. I forced myself to go to one more store and by the time I left there I had to just sit in my van in the parking lot with the air blowing hard to cool me down. I came home and got in the bed.
I don't get it. I've had other surgeries (3 C-sections) and was up and about in no time. This surgery has kicked my butt. I've had trouble all week sleeping. I can not get comfortable at all. I see a visit to my chiro in the future. Finally the last 2 nights I have slept a little better but still toss and turn. I seem to have some sort of brain fog still and that's really annoying to me. Other than that I'm fine. My boobs look better and better every day.

You will feel better day by day. The first 5 days I felt like crap! I didn't understand why I was so tired and weak. I went out around 1 week post op and felt exactly like you. I was light headed, clammy and hot too. I had to sit on a bench for awhile. But miraculously the brain fog and total exhaustion went away. I still don't understand how two or three days after people are so energetic and can shop, make dinner and do all this housework. Not me. I was useless for the first week. It does get better and from the looks of it, you had a large reduction. How much did they remove? I had 660 grams on one and 680ish on the other. Happy healing and don't loose faith!

First of all you look great. What a great job your ps did. You will be so pleased. I too was whooped by this prcedure. I did not feel like my old self for quite a while. I too had a hard time gettng comfortable. Believe me though, you will start feeling a little better each day. Patience is the key with this surgery. Get your rest and try to lay low. It seems that if you do too much it hurts for the next two days.

I'm home
I'm home and sleeping is a joke. My head hurts. My boobs look good. Not really bruised. I think I'm going to be happy. They're really small and can't imagine them being smaller.
