I'm a 32h and 5' 9 too and have my pre op on Monday. I'll get to pick my date then, I believe. Hoping for October as I'm hurting every day now, despite physical therapy. What size do you want to go down to? Did your doctor say anything about how much he can take off? I guess I'll find out on Monday!

Good for you! So excited for you!! He said I'll be between a B and a C. Im guessing more of a C though, just based on how large they are. I would be so happy with either size!!!

You have to sleep on your back, so I just made a pillow fort to help sit me up. It was okay but I'm also a side sleeper so it's kinda horrible lol.

I swore I replied but I don't see it, so hopefully it doesn't post twice.
But anyway, I made a fort of pillows on my sectional to help sit me up and keep me on my back because I'm also a side sleeper.
It was okay, but still not the best.
I'm slowly starting to sleep on my sides again.

Okay, so last Sunday I showed my sister a bump on my boob that I have had for over a week and I thought it was a bug bite. She said it's a zit and I need to pop it. Bad idea!! It became infected and I had to go to my PCP last Tueaday to get antibiotics. He said if there's any sign of infection on the day of surgery, it will be postponed. Well..the infection is gone, but I'm left with a hickey looking bruise from trying to squeeze it so hard! I didn't realize how thin the skin is on the boob so I busted a ton of capillaries! And I'm afraid the surgeon won't take my word for it and think it's an infection if it's still there by the 16th and cancel the surgery! It is fading..but sloooooowly.

Surgery Friday! (I hope)

Surgery is Friday and I have a sinus cold. I'm praying that it doesn't go into my chest or there won't be surgery this week :( I'm terrified! I've been taking zinc, using Zicam, using essential oils, drinking orange juice, and water. The good news is, is that the sore on my boob is looking better!!! It's hard to tell on the picture but it looks like a dried up zit.

Double up on your vitamin c as well! Hope you get better. When i was going to have surgery on my ankle last year, my doc said to come in if anything happened. I usually never get sick, but sure enough i came down with something. I saw him and i ended up having an ear infection. He gave me antibiotics, but i believe he said if i was having surgery the next day, i would be ok and to take the antibiotics until i finish them. Might be something you want to do if you aren't feeling better soon. Fingers crossed you get it out of your system though. Try emergency too. Your big day will be here before you know it! Wishing you a painless and speedy recovery!

Thank you so much!!! I am feeling SO much better today!!! My cold is pretty much gone, thank goodness. I wish the surgery was tomorrow before I come down with anything else lol
How's your recovery going?? Any tips for me?
And all I can say is just make sure everything is in reach, and make sure you take the pain pills on time even if you don't feel like you're in pain.
But just be prepared to be exhausted and wanna nap all day. You just gotta relax.
But my recovery is going so well, I couldn't even imagine it going any better I'm so very pleased.
Normal.. That sounds so nice!!
