WORTH IT
Good morning. I am awake and pretty stoned on oxycodone after my procedure yesterday at 12noon in Markham with Dr. Kao. everything went well so far.
I was surprised when he told me that he managed to get them down to a B cup as during previous consults he wasn't sure at he could go much lower than a large C cup.
Of course right now it's hard to tell because they are wrapped well and pretty swollen.
I requested Oxycodone instead of T3 as I have had bad luck with T3 in the past with constipation. I am also taking a stool softner, just in case. I have been taking Arnica Montana homeopathic pills for about a week prior (30cc) and am now taking it in 200cc 3x a day (this is for swelling and seems to be recommended by most surgeons )You can purchase at any health food store. I also bought a couple of pineapples as they contain the antiinflammatory Bromlien, so I thought why not! Delicious and helpful sounds like a good combo.
My throat is getting a bit sore, so I am going to take a few drops of oil of oregano now and try to go back to sleep. there is some pain in the bottom where the draining tube goes in, which is manageable and probably a good thing so I am constantly reminded not to overdo anything.
Make sure you have everything you need at waist/face height... The straw has become my new best friend... I'm drinking a lot of water!!
I will try to post some pics now...
I can already feel a difference in my back...very happy so far
More ramblings to come
Thx kat
Sorry some pics are upside down and I'm much too stoned to figure it out right now!!
I made a video in the hospital right after surgery, that I will post later.,,
Cheers and goodnight/ morning

I'm in the process of booking my consult with the same PS. I was wondering if you were able to get yours covered through OHIP, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks so much. Hope you're doing well!

I'm sorry that some pictures are upside down, maybe the moderators can fix this, as my brain is still fuzzy. All is good, the nurse has been in to change the dressing and is happy. I can't believe how small they are!!! Woohoo!! That's it for now, I am definitely weak but feel healthy..

Keep us posted.....I'm wondering what technique was used as the incision line is one I have not seen before.

They are so rounded. Mine came out square shaped. It was the weight and size I hated and wasn't too bothered by shape at the time.
Apart from all the usual benefits like smaller bras and fitting nice clothes.....a great result is that when you lay down they don't top to the sides so unattractively.
Great days ahead......good for you.

No more oxycodone
Well I've stopped taking the oxy/Percocet as it was causing nightmares, making me cry and feel crazy and causing constipation. What a terrible drug! I'm now taking an extra strength ibuprofen (400mg) every 6 hours, max of 4 a day and an extra strength acetaminophen (500 mg) every 4 hours, with an 8 hour break at night for sleep. The pain is totally manageable, and my head feels better. I took milk of magnesia twice and ate a bowl of steamed collard greens and have now had 2 bowel movements and I'm feeling much better. I've also been out for 2 short walks up and down the street just to keep the blood moving.

Same reaction to the medication. I stopped taking it early and forced Tylenol to work.
The right side will probably come out first as it only measured 30ml in the last 24 hours ( the drains need to measure less than 50ml on each side in a 24 hour period )
