WORTH IT

I just had my surgery on April 9th. I have wanted a breast reduction since high school, but insurance wouldn't cover it. Finally when I went to a new insurance provider I got accepted. I had to endure the Back aches, muscle spasms, deep shoulder grooves, and the physical therapy that never helped the situation. My pre surgery size was a 38HH. Post surgery size is supposed to be around High D low DD.
I've gone through a lot of different emotions and wanted to cancel my surgery. I mean although I wanted them gone they would be missed!
I've always had the support of my mom who is taking care of me now as I recover.
The day of my surgery I was so nervousness. I was scared the Dr. Was going to take to much and bring me down to an A Cupid B which would be too small for my body. I was nervous about going under the anesthesia. When they wheeled me into the operating room I just started to cry. My nerves where on high, but before I knew it the 5 hours of surgery was over.
My chest was tight, and heavy, and still groggy. I know I was a lil embarrassed to have my mom dressing me at 40 years old, but hey what could I do. Soon as I made it home I took my pain pills and went to sleep. The next morning April 10th I woke to a sharp pain in my chest (I guess the meds had wore of) I popped more pills and went back to sleep. They had sent me home with drains which had to be emptied and measured. Later Wednesday I went and got the drains removed. The pain had subsided, but of course the tightness hasn't. I do however have a burning sensation on my right side and of course I'm swollen.
I get to remove the bandages Thursday April 11th. Excited to see. I'll post pictures later. I didn't think of taking before pics.
I stumbled upon this website and it has been very informative/helpful to see what many woman have gone thru and read there progress with pictures.

April 12th 3rd day Post-op. was suffering from constipation nothing was working until my mom bought me some Cod Liver Pills. Ahhh, sweet relief!
I notice that my stomach is more prominent now than before. I think I'll look into lipo. Wonder how long I'll have to wait before I can get it done. As for my breast there fill like they are about to pop. Of course they're still swollen and tinkly.

I feel okay overall, but again chest is tight and very swollen. Under my breast stings and I'm concerned with the little bit of draining from the right breast. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back. Hoping its normal and not the start of infection.
