Post Op Day 1
It's all finished! Went in for surgery at 1215hrs and stepped into the OR at about 1300hrs. It is really different being worked on but I was pretty calm. I am a former nurse so it helped a lot to know what was happening, if I hadn't had the knowledge from being a nurse I think I would have been freaking out. The nursing staff were nice and I felt good about it all. I woke up very cold I was vibrating and teeth chattering with a 6/10 pain level and a lot of pressure in my chest I think just because I was shaking and tensing my muscles so bad from being cold. My vision was blurred and I was seeing double but it subsided after about 15 minutes. My throat was very sore but is feeling a lot better this evening. They gave me a few warm blankets and the pain started coming down after she gave me pain meds. My pain meds aren't too strong, I still know if I hurt myself in my movements but it takes the edge off that shabby nagging pain which is nice. My husband was incredible he took good care of me but we are trying to figure out what I can and can't do comfortably. Thank god for strong legs and core because I can stand and manuver myself without any pain. It's hard to isolate my biceps and truces to not use my peck and shoulder muscles but I'm figuring it out! We got home and put me in bed I dozed off watching a movie for an hour and felt much better when I woke up. The pain is getting much better I don't feel so sore this evening as before. Constipated feeling but lots of bowel sounds present just eating a light diet right now and drinking a lot of water. It feels really good to get up and walk around every few hours to keep my circulation good because of laying on my back in bed! We have our follow up tomorrow can't wait to see what it looks like under there! My husband can't stop staring at them lol me neither!!! So excited :D

Mine are high profile :)
I don't have pain in my traps at all or under my arms. But I found myself having some back pain in the beginning due to poor posture because the chest is very tight and I didn't want to move my shoulders much in the beginning. Now as they are starting to drop and bounce a little when I walk the only pain I get is from the incisions if I'm not walking fluently enough. And there is pressure from the bra holding my boobs in a specific place so they drop in the right place.
Hope that helps! I'm sure it'll all be good. It sucks the first week heeling but it's worth it after the pain goes away!
You must be so excited for your surgery! I'm sure they'll look amazing :)
