My card and post op

Post op went great! Very quick, since I can't see the Dr. Next week he told me at week 1 I can start wearing an under wire bra during the day and sports bra type at night! Also gave me the directions to massage at week 1, basically pushing them inward. I have most pain in my sternum today, when he pressed on it. Also my incisions BC I think the band of the post op was squeezing. Is it normal that my incisions have pain? It's manageable but weird! I guess it makes sense it does feel like a deep cut which it is! I switched to a more comfier post op bra I bought for myself! Hopefully tomorrow is even better!

I am also up and about today, still very slow and cautious with ALL movements but able to walk around, getting up is slightly easier with a rocking back and forth motion and grabbing under the knees ! Thanks COYippieGirl for the tip!

You know what I wish I would have done, wore the post op bra a few weeks before, kind of wearing it in. (I bought one ahead of time) this way it would have already been slightly stretched/formed To my size. It's so new so it's tight and of course chest is swollen with incision so it's soooooooo uncomfortable around my ribs! [RS bleep]!

Day after surgery

C
cardo12
Morning was brutal! I needed assistance getting propped up. I probably could have done it, but didn't want to mess anything up and hurt myself! So far only half a pain pill(vicodin ) since 8:00 am, and feel ok. Just taking it easy! Post op appt tomorrow at 9:50! I'll probably shower tomorrow, baby wipes and face wipes make me feel fresh! A shower today would be ok per the Dr. But, sounds like torture to me. I'll wait to tomorrow! I slept through the night. Woke up at 5, to use the bathroom, hurt when I got up and felt dizzy walking back! I took a cold compress to my head and laid back down and was all good! It's from all the meds! And I only took half a pain pill! The muscle relaxers are better.

Keep on top of the meds otherwise your body tenses up making your pectoral muscles flex. Good luck

Yes I noticed the feeling, I am making sure to stay on top, the muscle relaxer says 6-8 hours so that's about 2X a day, and almost forgot my antibiotic,but remembered so I need to have a reminder on thise

Yeah i remember my first morning. Trying to get up was hell. It took me 10 (painful) minutes to get up, everyone else was sleeping and I didn't want to ask for help. But I've managed and you'll manage too :) so happy for you

I asked the nurse what time to dr. Started she said 11:15, and I was waking up at 12:05! Amazing! Discharged by 1:00. Feel wonderful hopefully once these meds wear off and I take the other pills (Vicodin) I will also feel great! Now I'm in the passengers side relaxing with pillow and a neck pillow ! Fully supported! We ended up doing 310cc both side with a smooth round silicone implant by natrelle! Holy [RS bleep]! It's done ????????!

First night with my new boobs and I'm taking my meds faithfully. But omg the pain is unbearable it's awful can't sleep and can't get comfortable. Tom I go to have the ace bandage removed. I hope this pain minimizes it's miserable right now. Tell me what your secret is. Thanks
