WORTH IT$5,000
I'm officially 17 Dats away from my surgery. I'm worried and I'm wondering what items I need to buy to help the recovery process. My surgeon was very nice, he had never heard of a size K bra though... Lol He said he may not be bake to get me to a C but maybe a ad because of the risk of losing the nipple. He's a great surgeon so I trust him. I'm hoping they look good when they are healed I'm worried the May not be as pointy as I'd like. My breasts are sooooo saggy. I also have a tattoo on the top of my left breast so I'm not sure if it will be effected by the surgery. I'm willing to have it removed via laser later.... Any suggestions on what to order?

Get as many surgical bras as you can....
my swelling and brusING diminished alot from using arnica pills and Bromelian suppliments. Ask if you can use them in advance. Ask if You'lle been spending the night in the hospital. If you are and have low blood pressure normal make sure there is food available when you get back to your room. My blood pressure dropped dangerously low from almost 24hours with no food.

Also do as much exercise as you can before the surgery as you will be down for a while but your appetite may not lol

Where did you find your bras? How was your itching and pain? Thanks for the advice too!

I've lose about 20 lbs in preparation for surgery and I've noticed a lot of extra skin so my breasts are spilling over my size k bra!!! I can't wait to have the surgery, I'm nervous but excited to see the results.

We are both having our surgeries on the same day and I'll be close by in Brookline, MA!! I'm so nervous! I wish there were more hours in the day, I have so much I want to do before the surgery and I'm having a tough time sleeping (hence it's 1am now). What are you doing to prepare for Friday and keep sane?

Day of treatment
Surgery Done!
Had surgery today. Tired and in and out of sleep. Was in 10/10 pain when I awike. I was sedated again, when as going to the recovery floor, I began vomiting. I had just drank some water. I was given more medication IV for nausea and vomiting. Since I've been in my observation room, I been sleeping off and on, being taken for walks. My legs have air compression pads on them to decrease chances of DVTs and they provided a beauty mask and ear plus for sleeping. My drains have been functioning appropriately but the dressing is leaking. The nurse fixed the dressing. The whole way along my questions were answered and everyone has been so kind. I struggled to write this small. Minimal to medium pain, in the am the drains
come out!!!
come out!!!

I was wondering about changing my own dressing I don't think waiting 2 weeks makes sense

Im going to change mine tomorrow they sent me home with gauze and i bought non stick gauze to go around nipples

I may shower today after I complete my final, I asked my dad to stay in the bathroom with me while I shower and then after I'll change my bandages. I think I have petroleum gauze on, I wish I knew that so I could have purchased some. I do wound dressings all day at work as a nurse so I could've ordered some
