I had my reduction at 7:30 this mining up since 4:30 to prepare and be at the hospital at 6:15. I kept waiting for the anxiety and nerves to kick in but I was so happy and excited it never happened. Even as they put me under I was smiling. I woke up properly at about 2 pm with a tight feeling in my cheat but not much pain. And could immediately see my tummy and toes when I got up to go to the bathroom. I haven't seen them properly yet but they are waaaay smaller than before I am over the moon:) just keep asking everyone do they look small ? Cause I hope it's already obvious and they just laugh and say yes much smaller. I am staying overnight due to my allergies to many pain killers so I have a drip in . They have given me pethodine a few times but I can feel the pain is starting to wake up now. The worst is trying to move on the bed or going to the bath room- it feels like everything is pulling and burning. I think the local anaesthia is wearing off. My doctor came to see me earlier tonight and checked them. I had a bit of sensation in the right nipple but not the left. However the fact that I could see my nipple without lifting and twisting my entire boob up was amazing. The doctor seems very happy at this stage so really hoping for a good recovery. I am so happy I made this decision , best thing I have ever done for myself:)chat soon xxxx
