Happy with Results but Waiting Impatiently to Feel Like Myself Again!!! - Boston, MA

I was wondering if anyone else has had numbness and pain still after 4 months! The numbness is under both breast only . Also I'm having pain again on my left side under arm, where the drain was and lipo was done. That is actually where most of the pain was after surgery. I really don't want to call my PS, i was hoping this might be normal but I will call her if I need to! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Does anyone else still have some pain at this point in post op? Its not terrible pain but I didn't think I would still have pain by now. Its mostly on my right side right above incision line. Just started not wearing my surgi bra to bed, so I'm not sure if that is why i have the pain. I always slept on my right side before surgery but haven't attempted that yet, still sleeping partially sitting up, I'm still nervous about waking up in severe pain on right side when I wake up. Any thoughts ot suggestions would help alot!! Thanks!!

I went back to my PS on Oct 8 for my 6 week followup. She said I'm healing great!!! I don't have to go back unless I have any issues!! I was really surprised. But she said to call if I have any problems. She said it would be at least 6 months until my breasts look the way they should for good, still have some swelling on the sides but nothing to bad, i can gradually get back to doing some exercise, she said it's all about how comfortable I am and not to over due it!! I don't have to much pain anymore, the only issue is on my right side, under my arm where the drain was it bleeds a little some times and feels like i'm being jabbed with a needle. PS says it can happen, the stitches inside that need to disolve can get tiny bumps around them and she rubbed around the side and boy did that hurt but she says I need to do that to help the scar loosen up but it freaks me out to touch it! Other than that I'm feeling pretty good. I don't regret a single part of this!! I told her she changed my life so much. I've lost a total of 71 lbs in the past 2 years( 7 lbs of it from BR surgery) I just want to lose 20 more and I'll be really happy!!! Gotta get rid of that extra stomach that I didn't realize I had because my boobs were covering it but now irs very noticeable ( thats the only bad part) but I have confidence that I can get rid of that with exercise!!! I'm so happy I fiubd this site, it has helped me so much!!! Good luck to any of u women out there waiting for their surgery, it's so worth it in the end!!!
