Spring A Leak?!
$6,500
Ouch! I'm in a lot of pain. Earlier, when my almost one-year-old son was in my lap, I felt a wetness under my breast. I checked and there is yellowish-greenish fluid leaking out from under my breasts! I called my surgeon's office and they said unless I had a fever and it was bright red it should be fine. I have an appointment Wednesday so I am hoping it can wait and all will be well. After reading some other reviews and seeing pictures mine certainly doesn't seem so bad but it still has me nervous.
Hopefully the pain will go away (I hate taking pain medicine so I use it sparingly) and I can start to feel normal soon!

Drain tubes are gone!
Yesterday, I was able to get my drain tubes out. I honestly think the drain tubes were the most painful part of the whole thing. They were right under my arms and very uncomfortable. Now that they are out, I feel amazing!
I am also excited by how well my breasts seem to be healing! My posture has already improved 200% and my pain is completely gone. The bonus? I love the way my breasts look! I am hoping my recovery keeps going well!

Aww! I definitely hope you will! It was amazing how instantaneous the pain from the heavy breasts was relieved. I almost don't know what to do with myself since I have lived 18 years with neck and back pain! It's an amazing feeling and o hope you get yours soon!!

It is finished!!
Well... it is DONE! My surgery experience was fantastic!
I got to the hospital at 7:00am yesterday morning and was taken back to get ready. I got to wear this really neat Bair Paws gown that heats up, so it calmed me down and made me comfortable. It all felt kind of surreal that the day was finally here; the day I had waited for for so long!
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to help me and we laughed and made jokes. When my anesthesiologist came into the room, he was singing! He said, "I am here for Sheeeeeerri!" (My name is Sherri! ). He sang me all the way down to pre-op. That put me in a fabulous mood since I teach music!
Everyone at the hospital was so friendly and helped me be as comfortable as possible. I got some pain mess to relax me. The technician said, "30 seconds to happiness!" And then I replied, "Less than that!" As I was already feeling kinda giggly. (I have a very low tolerance to pain medication, ha ha!) We then went to the OR and he told me to breathe into the mask and that is the last thing I remember.
When I woke up, it was 5:00pm. My surgery lasted 5 hours. I had quite a bit of tissue to remove. I could instantly tell the difference. I felt amazing! My doctor then came in and showed me his work... I was so pleased! I have NEVER had perky breasts and they looked amazing! I couldn't stop smiling! I can't wait to see what they look like in a few months.
Pain wise, I have very minimal discomfort. It stings and I honestly think the drain tube sites are more sore than my actual breasts.
I also have a TON of belly bloat! The nurses told me to drink LOTS of water to help flush it out since I was pumped with so many fluids. I can't wait until the bloating goes away!
I could not have asked for a better surgical experience! I already feel amazing!!
