53 Year Old with a 75lb Weight loss, Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Idaho

I had my breast reduction and tummy tuck yesterday, October 19th. I have wanted the breast reduction since I was a little kid. My "training" bra was a cupped bra. I think a B. Guys either loved it or hated it when I went though my teenage and college years. I met the love of my life in grad school, had 2 kids and we went about raising them. In the meantime, my boobs started sagging and growing even more. Then I gained a lot of weight because think it is a coping mechanism to hide the extra large breast and all my stretch marks.
I started to finally take care of my self in May 2013. Found a wonderful functional medicine dr who helped me lose the weight. I started running and even ran a marathon (never again) though. Half marathons are my speed????.
But now I had super saggy breasts that had to get crammed into a sports bra 34DDD (I'm a 32 ii)! because that was about all that you can find,also super sagging skin on my tummy. I needed to do something because of the shoulder pain from running with all that and I'd develop rashes under my tummy and breasts
In August 2015 I finally got the nerve to go in for my consultation. The dr. said I was a great candidate. I decided I wanted them both done at the same time. The insurance denied my coverage and I won't bore you with the frustration that caused. So I said, I need it not and I'll just pay for it.
October 9th Pre-op I got all all the lists of things to do (2 procedures) and started counting the days
My doctor actually has a surgery in his office so no hospital which lowers anxiety for me. I wasn't intubated, just an IV sedative, the dictir as a little late because he had another surgery but not to bad.
When I awoke I cried teas of joy. My husband stayed the entire time the waiting room and got to talk to the dr. My husband say between the reduction and the tummy tuck I had 15lbs taken out. Can't wait to see how is speeds me up in my running????

Tonight I'm post op. Only sleepy n snatches because I always need to pee. The crotchlees tummy garment is one pain in the neck when trying to go to the bathroom but other than that I feel sore but nothing I can't handle. No meds so far and I've been home 8 hours.

So yesterday was my first day in my new body. I was sore but only stuck to Tylenol. My biggest difficulty was how to pee without getting it on the crotchless garment. My husband came through with a great idea of using an old plastic funnel. Yay for ingenuity!
I took a look at my bruising around my breasts and it was pretty severe but not really painful. My pain was trying to straighten up. I start out bent in half but if I stay standing I can almost get all the way vertical. I walked down to the end of my street and back about 2 tenths of a mile.
I slept pretty well, I wasn't getting up every hour to pee, so that is great. Today I'm pretty sore on my breasts and on my tummy tuck area. I'm trying to be out of the reclining chair for longer periods of time. I ate lunch at the dining room table and the best thing was that I pooped! I had been reading about others and was worried about when I was going to go. Normally I'm very regular everyday. To make sure I would go I bumped my magnesium and it worked.
Tomorrow is my shower day and my doctor appointment so I will post some pictures when I take my shower. I'm still so happy about what I see and can't wait to see more tomorrow.

Today I got to shower. Yay!! It was quite a process but I had my husband who was a champ through the whole thing. We got upstairs and decided to remove my tummy tuck garment first. I was standing up by the bathroom sink as we started the undo the zippers and hooks and eyes. It came off pretty easily. The bra was easy too just hook and eyes down the front and it was off. But then I got pretty light headed and had to sit on the toilet. My light headedness cleared up with in about 5 minutes. It was a bit scary though because I have never passed out before and I thought I was going to. My husband took a couple of pictures and I can't believe how little I look even with some swelling. Then my husband put the garments in the wash. Yay! I showered/ sponge bathe on the side of the tub. I washed my hair in the sink and now I feel so clean. It was a little rough getting my tummy tuck garment back on but we did it replacing some of the gauze that fell off when it came off. Now I'm resting up before my doctor's appt. waiting to hear from him on how I'm doing. I'll let you all know.
