38DDD to C! Was Super Excited, Now I Am SO Nervous and Scared! - Glendale, AZ

Post Op Day 26

Had one final follow up appt and don't need to go back for 3 months unless I have issues or sutures coming through that need clipped. Still no exercising. He did say I could ride a bike, but I am not ready for that bouncing yet.

I went back to work (I am an Exec. Asst.) so sitting in the upright position that long took a toll. Just got a little warm, and weak, went home the first day at 3PM. Stayed all day yesterday but stayed home today. Since I am back to work I am back to a normal sleeping schedule. Even though I have a desk job, I become exhausted and have no problem falling asleep. Still not able to sleep on my sides.

Asked the dr and nurse if there was anything I could do to speed the process of the swelling to go down and there is not. I have to be patient, which is fine with me. I am happy. Still very bloated in my abdominal area and tender on my left side under my breast...rib cage area.

I am posting a pic.

Thanks for all your support and kind words. I hope you are all doing very well also!!

Today is Day 19 Post Op. Yesterday I got the tape off of my incisions. I will begin scar treatment this weekend using New gel from my PS. Today might have been one of my worst days. I am not taking anymore pain pills, just tylenol. I am so tired of sleeping on my back, but can't seem to get comfortable on my sides at all. I have major bloating in my stomach but the most painful thing now is right under my breasts, my upper abs hurt like MAD! Even starting to get lumps under my skin. I am going to call the dr. tomorrow. I am posting updated pictures. Obviously still swollen but the bruising is going away and the incisions are healing nicely.

Post Op Day 10

Hi ladies:

Just thought I would give you an update. I am doing very well. Have gotten out of the house briefly twice, it's a big exhausting especially in this AZ heat! I get tired easily. I drove for the first time, that wasn't too fun, just hard to turn the wheel. I did make sure I just was taking Tylenol at that time. I am updating my photos. My one nipple is clearing up. My left side looks bigger than the other. I also took pictures of how far the incisions go back under my armpit. That's where I have the most discomfort. That are is still swollen. Tomorrow is my second appt. I am assuming they will just change the tape on my incisions. I am still taking if very easy and resting a ton! Hope you are all doing well also!
