2 days post op, Feeling pretty swollen
$12,700
Like I said, I'm feeling pretty swollen, especially in the breast area. One breast seems more swollen then the other. Time is measured by when I can have my next pain pill. They had me stay over night at the surgical facility where I had the procedure and I am very thankful for that opportunity. I was the only person staying overnight with 3 nurses. It was great piece of mind. I'm trying to avoid infection which is a little nerve wrecking. I have no compression garments because Dr. Martin said it was unnecessary.
The biggest surprises for me so far are: the difficulty in peeing (it's more of a release - how long does that last??) and trying to walk around in a V - shape, which just seems to be me acting like the hunchback of Notre Dame.
Sorry if this post is rambling, my head is a little fuzzy from the meds I think.

I have struggled with my weight for years as an adult. After my third child, I began really focusing on running and realized even after getting close to my goal weight that I would never look how I wanted with my "mother's apron" and my saggy breasts. My surgery is tomorrow and I am beyond nervous. I have spent a ton of time searching through real self and the pictures and info have been so valuable and helpful and therefor wanted to document my journey for the betterment of the community. Here goes nothing...

I am hanging in there, my husband was nice enough to run to the drug store and grab me a binder for my stomach, but it was way too tight. We'll give it a try again tomorrow with a bigger size. I'm considering putting on a sports bra just for some breast support. I haven't been overly weepy yet, but I definitely could see myself headed in that direction. Especially if I get my drainage cord caught on one more thing. I had no idea these little hand grenades (as my husband likes to call them) would be so cumbersome. I've also had the tiniest little cough/phlegm, just enough to give me an ouch every few hours or so. I am a tad concerned that what I've emptied from my drainage bulbs has been steadily going up, do you know if that's normal? As always, I appreciate the wisdom and information of this site, thanks for asking how I've been doing. :)

If they gave you any muscle relaxers, those may help with the tightness you're feeling. Especially in the breasts. That's what my nurse told me. They gave me valium and I notice that it really does help a little bit when the bust area starts feeling too tight. Plus it knocks me out. When you're knocked out, you don't feel anything lol.
Good luck with your recovery and congratulations! You will have your up's and down's but it will go by fast, and you will be feeling better before you know it! :)
