Day 3

Today is Christmas Eve! My little ones are so excited for Santa to come tonight.

Today was a good day. I have been taking my meds on time and have very MINIMAL pain. I truly would recommendfor everyone to please follow doctor's instructions, because if you do, the pain will be nearly non-existent. Even if I feel like I'm ok, I still take them on time, because I have learned from prior experience (c-sections) that pain can creep up on you! I have been making sure I walk around a little bit every few hours, and I think that's helped as well.

Today my breasts felt extra swollen and hard, kind of like when milk comes in and you get engorged! They softened up a little as the day went on. I carefully massaged some of the hard areas for relief. I expect they'll be swollen and hard for a while as they heal. My incisions don't hurt too bad today, I could barely feel them. There were times that my bra kind of rubbed against them, so I have began to adjust it slightly every now and then to relieve some pressure/rubbing against them.

I have been emptying and recording my drainage. I have less today than yesterday, so I guess that's good!

Otherwise, I think that's about it. Today was a pretty lazy day. The meds make me groggy and sleepy, so I have been sleeping on and off all day. I actually slept really great last night in the recliner. Surprisingly, I was comfortable. I had my legs up, and pillows behind my back and in front of my chest. I also have been drinking a ton of water.

Overall I feel really great. I'm so impressed with Dr. Setty's work. I can't believe he took SOOO much off. I am so much smaller than I was, and they're so perky and round. I can't wait to see how they take shape and what the final results with be.

If you are in the north Dallas area, definitely look up Dr. Setty. He's so nice and kind and I'm pleased with everything. He's very patient in explaining things and answering questions.

Oh! And one last thing! He even called me last night to check on me. How cool is that! He made sure I was ok, and asked if I had any questions. The nurse from the surgery center, as well as the anesthesiologist called to check in as well. So that was cool!

Anyway, I will update again tomorrow! Merry Christmas Eve!

Day 2

Today was a pretty chill/relaxing day. My husband had to work today, so he dropped our kids off at a friend's house on the way to work and she kept them all day until dinner. That was a huge help! I have the best support system! My bestie came over at around 6 to bring me dinner and help me out around the house. She's going to stay at least until my husband gets home from work tonight (it'll be after 10 pm).

So, today my pain didn't go above a 2, maybe 3. My incisions hurt slightly, and my breasts feel sore, but it's not too bad. The incisions kind of feel like when you scrape a body part and then peel the scab. Kinda like a slight stinging/sore feeling. I mostly slept today, because I was sooo tired and the pain meds are definitely doing their job lol! I'm able to walk around pretty well. I've been good about getting up and walking for a few minutes every couple of hours, per the surgeons's request.

I'm eating pretty well, and drinking lots of water. Today was basically a rest day, and it felt sooo good because I've literally never been home alone for this long! So it was super nice to have some peace and quiet.

I think that about sums it up for now! Let me know if you have any questions. Also, I haven't tried the arnica gel yet. Anyone know when I should start using it?

I finally did it!

Hello ladies!

Soooo...I finally had my surgery yesterday! There was a problem with me being scheduled at the wrong facility and blah blah blah. I had to reschedule and push my surgery back and I was CRUSHED! But honesty, I'm so happy now and so I don't even want to go into that anymore lol!

Anyway, so let me tell you what happened! So I woke up that morning, really feeling so anxious about the surgery! Well, it was really a combo of excitement and nervousness. I was more afraid of my breasts being too big than I was of the actual surgery lol!

Anyway, so I couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight the previous night, so no breakfast or coffee! I got dressed and my husband got my kids ready and we headed out the door to be ready to arrive at the surgery center at 8 am. My babies are so sweet, they kept asking me if I was okay, and if I was scared. I wasn't at all, weirdly enough! I checked in & waited until about 8:30 and then I was brought to the back and weighed & given some instructions from the nurse on what was about to happen next. I said goodbye to my children and husband & headed in to the pre-op area. I gave a urine sample, and changed into my gown & socks. They allowed me to wear shorts (I brought them because they told me ahead of time that I could). They took my vitals and did an EKG. Then they put my legs into this compressor thing (I guess that's what it's called lol). It's a machine that tightens up on my lower legs, sort of like a blood pressure cuff, but not as tight. It actually felt kind of nice. It is used to keep your blood flow going so that you don't get blood clots. The nurses checked on me a few times, answered questions, asked questions, filled out paperwork, etc. The anesthesiologist came and talked to me about the anesthesia as well. He was really warm & funny. The nurses were too, which made me feel super comfortable. I couldn't bring my phone back, so i left it with my husband. Therefore it was very boring waiting in between checks. That extra mile everyone went was definitely appreciated.

The last thing I remember is my surgeon coming in & explaining again what was about to happen. He marked me up and told me how I can expect my breasts to look. I was told to lie back down and they'd be in there in a minute to get my anesthesia and to wheel me down to the OR. Since there was literally NOTHING for me to do, I dozed off for a few more minutes while I waited. I woke up and there was a nurse standing by me. I asked her when I was finally going to to get my surgery. She said, "honey, you're already done!" I didn't believe it. I had zero pain and I had only been asleep for a few minutes, right?! Wrong! She informed me it was a little after 3 pm! I couldn't believe it! I looked down and I saw these super tiny, perky little breasts and I just started crying. The nurse gave me a hug and told me I deserved it and said she was happy for me and how great they looked!

I can't explain how amazing and shocking it was to see such a huge change! I felt great and again, no pain or anything. I felt so much lighter already!

The nurse went to go get me some apple juice and ice and then I was helped to the restroom and also put my clothes on. Then the surgeon came in and told me how well everything went. He gave my husband some instructions and paperwork and then she showed me photos of my breasts after he finished. He told me they would be on the website to view. I am attaching my before & after photos!

I got home and my husband and kids were so sweet, making sure I was ok and grabbing me whatever i needed. As far as pain, it was about a 1. I felt more tightness and soreness than anything. The crazy part is, my neck, back and shoulder pain is completely gone! I've heard it's pretty much immediate satisfaction, but I was still skeptical. Let me tell you ladies...it's true! And the pain is sooo minimal so don't let that scare you. The funny thing is that the pain from the surgery is much less than the pain I felt on a daily basis from nagging pains in my back/neck/shoulders.

For dinner, I had some chicken noodle soup and then my bestie came over to help me out with the kids, cleaning and whatnot so that was a BIG help!

I slept in the recliner and I actually slept really well. The pain meds helped me sleep so soundly! The meds I'm taking are an antibiotic, hydrocodone, promethazine, & also colace to help me go to the bathroom. I have arnica gel, but not sure when I'm supposed to take it. Other than slight soreness/tightness, I really have no pain except for my throat. It hurts a bit and is scratchy because of the tube they put during surgery.

Well, I think that just about sums day 1. Stay tuned for day 2!
