Drain removal (ask for gas and air)
My surgery went extremely I went down at about 9:45AM next thing I know I’m awake in the recovery room two hours later and in a lot of pain, it felt as though someone had a hot knife and was slicing into my skin, there was a very soft speaking nurse trying to bring me around very gently, the only noise that came out of me was the word pain followed by a wave of tears, they gave me a nice dose of pain meds and then took me back to my room, then next few hours consisted of me sleeping and the nurses coming in to check on my vitals and give me more pain meds.
By late afternoon I was feeling better and even more so once I’d eaten, the pain surprisingly wasn’t too bad, I would say it was more of an uncomfortable feeling from having the drains and tubes in. So my drains were tapped together on my stomach and then each side was then attached to either side of the bed the frustrating thing about this was every time I needed to use the bathroom i had to unhook myself in and out each time place my drains in a pillow case to carry them into the bathroom with me, which was hard when every movement tugged on them, thankfully my bathroom was literally right next to my bed.
Slept pretty well the first night woke up the day feeling well rested even the nurse said I looked healthier, and again same as the day before constant checks on me and on how my drains were doing, with more paid meds as and when I needed them. Just before lunch came the words I had been dreading its time to remove your drains, I will say this now if they don’t offer you gas and air I would highly recommend you ask for it.
I had read a lot of reviews of people saying it doesn’t hurt and just feels weird so I was like well it can’t be that bad, I was offered the pain and gas but decided not to have it instead they have me some strong liquid pain meds and let that work for about 30 minutes.
The nurse comes in I lay flat on the bed she raises it chest level then proceeds to ask my to take some deep breaths which I try to do so through my constant shaking of nerves, she snips the stitch on the left side which in itself hurt enough to make me cry she said oh did you feel that, all I could do was shake my head yes, I tried to calm myself down for what was about to come then on one big breath in she pulled the tube and **** me I have never experienced a pain like it, it shocked me for a second and then I was just a complete mess couldn’t stop crying or shaking, I can’t even describe how much it hurt.
The nurse suggested we have the gas and air for the other side which I couldn’t agree to more. I will say once it was out and I had calmed it felt so much better, I won’t blab on to much for the second one but the gas and air was an absolute god send there was no pain at all but you could still feel the pressure of it coming out. The feeling of relief having them both out was just amazing.

I’ve always been a big busted girl ever since I started puberty it’s almost as if they sprouted overnight and just kept growing, and unfortunately for me they grew down I’ve never had perky breast they have been large full and saggy since my early teens. A breast reduction is something that I’ve wanted since I was 16 years old and it’s taken me this long to finally do it.
I have spent the last 15 years with constant back and neck pain along with migraines and have extremely deep grooves on my shoulders due to my bra straps digging in. People assume having large breasts is great but in my experience it has really held me back both mentally and physically, I don’t like to go out I’ve never had a real relationship because I’m so embarrassed of what they look like, it’s almost like I feel I can’t be the real me.
So July this year I decided to go down the private route, after a lot of research found a surgeon I felt comfortable with made an appointment, explained to him my reasonings and what I expected to achieve he was very thorough in going through the details of the surgery and after care and answering all my questions and concerns, took some measurements and said I was an ideal candidate, and that I could be looking at a C to D cup which I was thrilled to hear.
And yesterday I booked my surgery for 6th January next year, once I got of the phone I almost cried with all the pent up emotions I’ve had about my breast for the last 15 years and began to imagine what changes I know it’s going to make for me (I know it sounds daft )
I will post some before pictures soon, so you guys can see, and then hopefully my next post I’ll have some nice new perky boobs.
