How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

surgery
So much to post! I had surgery last Wednesday, November 30th. My surgeon had allotted 3 hours OR time for the procedure but it apparently took longer. He had told my friend that was with me that they had to take out more than anticipated but didn't really tell her why. I have my post op this afternoon to see why the surgery went long and why more. For now, I am super happy with the size! I was a 38H-I and have been comfortably wearing a 40D! I do have drains on each side that will come out today. That seems to be where the most discomfort is.
Right now, I have what looks like spitting stitches and blisters to the sides of my right breast incision and have serous drainage from the left. I don't see anything open on that side and am guessing it's from the internal sutures.
My pain has been really good! I don't do well with pain medicine (makes me very nauseated) and have been taking Tylenol and tramadol for the last 3 days. Usually only one dose each. I am trying to limit my movement to prevent the incision from opening until I see my surgeon today.
My breasts are softening up and aren't as tender. I have some sensitivity to each nipple. I am sure it will get better with time. Keeping fingers crossed for a greatpost op today! :-)

Mammogram
Last week I had a mammogram (required prior to br by my surgeon). The staff at the office was nice enough. I was there for 3 hours! The first mammogram showed a mass, they couldn't find it on the first ultrasound. So, they did another ultrasound to get a better picture of where it was. Finally found it on the 2nd ultrasound and was determined to be a cluster of cysts, which I apparently have 2 of on my right!
I am glad to have had it done so that my ps knows what he is getting in to when he operates. Hopefully, there will be no further pop-ups until then.
I can't believe it is 6 weeks until my surgery date! I worry that I won't have everything done in time! Working on getting the house really clean and the kids clothes updated to winter wear and the last of the outside stuff done before it gets cold. At least my work is aware and I know that I will be able to take off 5 weeks with pay. Until then, looks like I need to start getting supplies ready for after the surgery :)
