My Breast Reduction 09/11/2013

Hello, all. I've been reading many reviews and I've decided to finally write my own experiences. I just had my breast reduction on 09/11/2013 about 8:00 in the morning. I didn't get out until noon. I opted to stay overnight at the hospital which I'm glad I did during my pre-op appointment with my doctor. I was very sensitive to the anesthesia so it took me longer than usual to wake up. I was then nauseated and just threw up while trying to use the bathroom. Last night, I had very bad constipation from the pain killers. I wasn't fully aware of that at all. So after some googling, I took Milk of Magnesia at 11:00 pm. Woke up at 2:30 and didn't fully release my clogged up self until 3:30 AM. So for those that may not know, get some prune juice, Actavia yogurt and milk of magnesia ready. Cause you will need that while on painkillers. Today I'm finally having good bowel movement though still loose, it's better than being clogged up. (Sorry for being TMI but this was something important that I should have known about. LOL)
I've had some great support from my husband and my best friend. Especially my best friend who was here to help me, my husband and son with dinner, meals, some home made soup and remedy for my recovery.
Today I still have my headaches and my pain from the surgery. I had liposuction done as well as a nipple reduction too. My pain is about a 3 and 4. Not bad just a lot of discomfort. I'll be having my post-op appointment with my PS today at 4:30. I don't know if my drainage will be ready to be taken out. I rather have it in so it can drain all the fluids, but we shall see what my PS says.
I'm glad it's over with so I can start recovering. It was scary the day of my surgery because I was just so sick. I'm hoping to feel so much better in the coming days and I will continue to write and post pictures up. Good luck to all of you out there trying to get this done and hope you all are recovering well too!

Very itchy now. Taking Benadryl to help. Still on pain medication. Still dizzy and drowsy from it. Bowel movement much better now since drinking prune juice daily. Very bloated but lost four pounds since Surgery day. Stitches from the nipple will be remove on Friday, September 20th. Scared. Going to research if taking pain meds before the appointment will help the pain.

Markings of where things will be going!
