Question

I know it's only been 2 days post op but I just want to know if any of you felt this before or feeling it now. My chest feels super stretchy, rubbery feeling skin.. No pain though. Is that normal as it is in the healing process? Help plz.

2 day PO

Hi everyone, just wanted to give you an update since I had my surgery. On the day of my surgery it was fairly a quick process; I met with the nurse who had given me my blue gown, warm robe and slippers to wear and we had gone over discharge instructions, medications, and took my blood pressure. After that the anaesthetist doctor came in and explain the step by step process of what he would be doing and a few mins later Dr. Paul Whidden came in and made the markings on my breasts and confirmed that we were going with the 365cc. Not long after that I was walked into the surgery room and met 2 nurses they were really nice, made me feel really comfortable and just like that I was out. I believe the procedure took an hour, I was very groggy waking up from the anaesthetics but didn't take me long to be OK. From a level of 1-10 my pain level was about a 1 I just felt a lot of pressure on my chest. From there on after getting dress and heading home everything was smooth sailing, no nausea no vomiting. I got home I ate, took meds every 4 hours and I even slept good at night. The nurse called me the next morning to check up on me and at that point my pain level was maybe a 2-3 nothing more just discomfort from the pressure on my chest. Surprisingly, I've been really good with everything thought it would have been worst for sure, even sleeping upright with my wedge pillow has been good, maybe it's because of the meds that's making me sleep good. Today would be my 2 day PO and I'm still feeling heavy and high, hoping that my breast will slowly drop soon and that my skin doesn't feel so extended. Hope everyone else is doing well after their surgery.

1 more sleep!!

Worse luck ever! I got food poisoning last night so I've been in bed all day today trying to feel better asap. Hopefully I'll be all better by tonight and I'll be ready to go tomorrow morning. I'm to be at the surgery centre by 10:15am. I'm super excited can't wait! I've already rearrange my room as well so I have better access to meds, books, ipad ect. I'll be washing my bedsheets tonight as well. Until then, I'll update when I can. Good luck to everyone going into surgery tmr!
