57 Years Old, 44G, and Time to Be Me Again

I am not new to this board, I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and did a review. However this time I wanted to just get through it without all the fear and anxiousness. I see that carry all my weight in my breast to the point one of my breast size looked larger than my actual head. I also know that I will be retiring soon and I want to be able to travel, exercise, and get around without being out of breath. I do Xumba classes, but the jumping part started slowing down as these girls I call them are holding me back.

So I went in on the 4th and my PS knows from last time that I do not do anesthesia well,at all. So she arranged them putting a patch behind my ear and ordered meds to go through my IV. The anesthesiologist made me feel relaxed prior to being wheeled i, woke up with a sore throat and pain. They had a time arousing me but once I came to myself I was able to sit up so they could get me dressed to go home. The ride home seemed to take forever so I m grateful for the pillow information to keep seatbelt from rubbing. By the time I got home I really was hurting and needed meds, but I had that nauseating feeling so I waited to long to get meds into my system. First day wasn't good, but by day 2, pain was under control and I was able to start walking. My PS wanted me up every two hours, not using my arms to support me. Walked every 4 hours after each dose of med until I felt comfortable getting up just using my legs. Also sleeping in the recliner is a must and drinking fluids helps flush out the anesthesia. Still felt quizzy and realized patch was still,on and just a bit overkill since I was also doing phernergan. Day 3 made my post op appt and PS says it looks great. She did my first dressing change and checked to see if my nipples had sensation to my happiness they do. Now to keep my fluid down as I did not get drains put in. Take my first shower in a couple of hours so I'll let you know how it goes. Happy healing June 4th sisters.
