WORTH IT
Sorry it has been awhile ladies. Long story short. I lost my nipple and areola on my left breast. Also had the fat inside it rot and die. I have been going through her cutting out and packing my hole with bleach and saline soaked guaze. I have no feeling in that side so I don't feel her cutting away or poking around. Good news is I do not have an infection was tested a couple of weeks ago. I still get tired really fast. I am up walking a bit during the day but mostly when sitting in a recliner reclining so my body will spend the energy healing itself. Its funny how I can wake up with full energy at 8am and need a full nap by 1 or 2pm. This has not been an easy road but I would do it all over again. In a heart beat.
I posted some photos and they are very graphic but I wanted someone who might be facing the same fate to see what the process was for me. If you have a weak stomach I would suggest that you skip over them. When I change my dressings I will take another one and post it so you can see the difference of the ones posted. I hope every one is healing well and has not had any complications.

Oh, Anew, I'm so sorry that you have had such a long journey.
I am thankful that you shared your experience with us and am relieved to hear that though it hasn't been the easy and comfortable experience that you hoped for, that you are still happy that you had the surgery.
I hope the remainder of your recovery goes smoothly and that you will soon be over all of the hurdles.
Hugs!

Anewme3412,
I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time, however it is great news that you have no infection. I was concerned that there might be a problem when we did not hear from you. I really wish you all the best and hope with all my heart that your breast heals quickley without further complications. I am glad that you are still happy with the decision to have this done. Rest as much as you can and try to relax. It sounds like your PS is taking good care of you. I hope you recover very soon.
Wishing you all the best ~Zing~

How are you doing? I'm searching around and noticed you h haven't posted in awhile.i hope your opening has healed nicely..I would like to get your update and know how you are..

Doing good. The have found 5 very large fat necrosis in my right breast. I will be having surgery to remove those plus so extra tissue in that breast. Surgery will be dec 27th. My left breast is finally closed no more packing. I am now going to have surgery on that one also next month. the breast healed like an inny belly button. She will have to go in and remove the fat necrosis from that breast also and make the inny more flat so they can make a nipple. It is looking like I will be getting a nipple grafting and tattooing around May or April. Will post some pictures as soon as I get a chance.

I had to be at the hospital at 6am and surgery was at 745. Like most of you have said. WOW they were on fire when I woke up. Nothing like Morphine to cure the burn. Now to answer all of your burning questions. I had 6803.8 grams removed total 15 lbs.. wow.. Trust me I can feel it. So I started at a M and made it down to after swelling of course a d. That is fine by me. She said recovery will take a little longer then most of you guys. I lost a little over 1/2 liter of blood. I hope all of you who had surgery yesterday is recovering well. I am off to bed well my recliner that is. Try to update tomorrow.

zing, I am a little under 3 weeks post op. I am still a little sore and have some of my staples still in. my incisions went from under both breast to under my shoulder blades. So over half of my body was cut open. I found out on my last check up I will loose my left areola and nipple. I have no feeling there. As a matter of fact I have blistering under the skin. I wont see her again until next Tuesday after memorial day. so as of right now I have a breast that is open where the areola and nipple should be. I keep it covered with some silver cream that is used for burn victims and is also good for the blistering. I have been out of the house twice now both times wore me out.
I hope everyone is recovering well. Even after everything I have been through I would do it again in a heart beat. I have some pictures of me before and after the surgery marked up. and some with me in clothes before and after Will post them as soon as I can.

Good Luck! I think it is great that you will be staying overnight. That will take some post-op anxiety away for you and your husband. I will be thinking of you and anxious to hear how you are doing.
