Please excuse the close up but I don't think anything can prepare you for these darn drains. It's 4:51am and I've been up since 4. I had a bad night and despite taking Tylenol (I'm trying to stay away from taking any more percocet) I found the need to take a valium. My back muscles were killing me! It's better now but I can't seem to find my way back to sleep. Tomorrow I have another f/u appointment. I truly hope I can get these drains out. It will make is so much easier to move. Good night to all you realselfers and good luck to all you who are recovering or will be having this procedure soon!

So I went today to my first post op appointment. I was disappointed that my drains could not come out. The want less than 20mls in a 24 hour period to avoid seroma. Here is a picture of the new girls, mind you my nippers are big but the doctor said they will get smaller as they heal.

So today I have an appointment at 9am to see the doctor for the first time since the surgury Tuesday. I don't know what to expect. One of my friends had hers the day after. Is is normal to wait this long? I'm all bandaged up still so I can't see anything.
