I'm new to this site and have finally plucked up the courage to post. I have my surgery scheduled next week ( Oct 27th ) and I can't wait...this time next week I will be on the other side lol
I'm currently a size 38F and hoping for a c cup and perky. I had my pre op this morning and was scared because I currently am on antibiotics for pneumonia but because I will be done treatment by the surgery they are going ahead :-)
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
TIA ladies!

Day of treatment

Surgery today went well

big D McGee
I had my surgery this morning at 8am and was home by 3:30 pm.
Everything went well and pain is minimal at present. I am taking my percocets regularly to prevent break through pain. I have drains in and they seem to be collecting fluid well ????
I can't believe how light my breasts feel and the instant relief from back pain and shoulder/neck pain...it's unreal lol
It truly is a life changer ladies and I highly recommend this surgery!
My surgeon has tape and applied dressings on the incisions and around my nipples so I can see the shape and size this far however I know they will change in time.
I have a follow up/post op appointment with my PS on Monday so will get a good look then and find out how much was taken off each breast.
Any suggestions or recommendations on recovery are greatly appreciated!

I used two king size pillows, on on each side and i slept better that way. I wish i would have thought to sleep in our lazyboy, it would have been perfect! Sleeping was really the only time i was uncomfortable, and i couldnt reach very far the first week
