20’s with Too Big of Boobies

Started this process about a year ago. Had about 2 consultations before my case was submitted to my insurance. I did have to do physical therapy to show that I made effort to improve my symptoms (back pain) on my own. Once submitted to insurance, it took about 2 weeks to get my approval decision. Once approved they set up my surgery date which was about 3 months out.

I had surgery yesterday (was very excited and had very minimal worry, as I’ve had many surgeries). It took about 2 hours from my time of arrival until I was being put under. The procedure took almost exactly 3 hours. When waking up I was in some pain, so they gave me some IV pain meds. These didnt seem to help but I was also given tylenol later and that took almost all the pain away. I guess it just depends on the person. The pain isnt the kind I imagined. Its more of a tugging pain or tightness in my chest. I feel like when I stand up I have to hold my breasts up or they feel like they are stretching. My nipples are probably the most sore. For now Im just going to alternate between tylenol and motrin and my prescription pain killer will be last resort.

Today I was pretty sore. Later in the day became very itchy around my incision sites. Still havent fully seen my boobs. Im kind of scared to take my bra off because they still feel like they are pulling when I stand up and I’ve been holding them up when I walk. I will be allowed to take my dressings off and shower in the morning

Took my bra off for the first time this morning to remove some of the dressings. They are pretty swollen and hard but other than that are feeling much better compared to last night when they were itching and burning like crazy. A little scared to take the tape off but going to try later on tonight. Will update when tape is finally off!
