Just a Few More Weeks to Go Until my Reduction! - Macon, GA

7 weeks post op and feeling great! The new girls have healed wonderfully and I seriously couldn't be happier with them! I used to avoid the mirror and now my husband jokes and says I am in love with the mirror! This life changing decision was seriously the best one I have ever made! :)

I am now 12 days post op. Feeling so much better than last week! Had my post op appt 2 days ago and PS said to start rubbing Aquaphor on stitches around nipples (there is no tape on my nips) and on the tape covering my anchor incisions..I guess that is supposed to make the tape start peeling and come off the incisions. All of my stitches are dissoluble, thank god! My range of motion is good- although still having quite a time with putting a ponytail or clip in the back of my head...so most days my hair is a mess. LOL! Don't really care though- small price to pay for new smaller perky boobs! Incisions are still really thick on the sides...my incisions go pretty far back on each side and that area is numb..kinda worrisome, but I will deal with it. Next post op is Jan 10. I have to start RN school back up for spring semester on Jan 7th, so I am hoping I am much more healed by then! Oh BTW...found the best bras ever at Belk..they are made by Bali, they are seamless, no underwire or adjusters on the straps, just a nice soft bra...comes in small, med or large sizes depending on measurement around your middle. So comfy!

2 days Post op! Surgery went really well..was in and out in less than 8 hours! Slept the whole first night..got up to pee a few times...yesterday just lounged around. The pain is not bad since I am keeping up with my Loritab every 6 hours or so for pain, Taking an antibiotic as well. 2 drains in (BUMMER)- wont be getting those removed for 8 more days! They are a pain, as you have to empty them and record the drainage every 5 hours or so..the drainage is minimal though. Have not seen my boobs yet...hubby is going to help me take a shower today (was instructed to wait 48 hours before taking one)- I am feeling quite disgusting as I haven't been able to shower since Monday! PU! LOL ...well my back is hurting, time to lay down! Not regretting this YET! :)
