10 DAY OLD SURGERY -UPDATE- DEC. 7 2015 MONDAY " JUICY" BOOBIES! WEIRD RIGHT? *SIZE D-CUPS*
{BRIEF UPDATE ON MY 2! DOCTOR VISITS IN THE 1ST & 2ND WEEK SINCE MY SURGERY}
So I had an appointment to see my doctor Monday to speak with her about a few concerns I had with my body and how it was being effected by the surgery,
-Swollen ankles and feet
-Super Sore parts on my body rib area, arms and thighs
-Tingly feeling in breast
-Numb left nipple and sensitive right nipple
-Very leaky right breast
-Overall progress
I asked her a few things and we had a very good conversation about everything I was worried about and needed to know, she told me everything was normal and fine with my surgery she informed me she removed 4 POUNDS OF BREAST TISSUE collectively from my breast I couldn't believe it she also said the reason why my right boob was leaking was because more tissue was taken from the right breast, so its healing a little slower than my left breast...she said that the soreness is normal and certain spots of soreness is normal too....the swollen feet and ankles she explained was fluid that my body built up during surgery while I am healing that will all come off very soon within 10 days or less and I would be peeing like crazy and she was right...she reassured me many women experience all of the same symptoms I am having now she was honest and understood I was concerned, she was encouraging and informative, she redressed my incisions last Friday, which was (DEC. 4 2015) I went in and she removed my old saran-tape-like- surgery bandages (WHICH REALLY HURT, FELT LIKE REMOVING TAPE!) and she wiped them down very good with antibacterial cleaner, applied anti-bacterial medicine on my incisions...placed breathable gauze sponges and tape around them and she told me she wanted me to change it everyday or twice a day while she was changing my bandages there would be moments where she would press on my breast (not intentionally just to clean and dress them) and it made this weird "squishy" sound and I told her that was so weird to hear and feel at the same time, we both laughed and she said that's how it is "All I can say right now is that its "JUICY"..." I laughed again....so cleaning and redressing was what she wanted me to do until see her again next week then she would begin stretching the appointments out a lot longer...so that's all that been going on so far I will post later about my FIRST DAY and week after the reduction.

Here was my process, Surgery Is Done- 2!! Days Post-Breast Reduction!! -What happened and how I'm feeling at the moment-
{I KNOW THIS REVIEW IS SUPER LONG LOL SORRY I WANTED TO GIVE THE MOST INFORMATION}
Hello ladies here's my update with pictures I finally feel well enough to sit and type now, So my appointment was at 9:00 a.m. on December 1st I showed up and signed lots of papers and information I was half asleep given the fact I had just gotten off of work a few hours ago I believe they may have thought that I was out of it due to medication I may have taken they asked me did I take anything I said "No I'm just really tired" and after I finished signing all the papers I needed to at the front desk I was asked to sit in the waiting room and wait for my name to be called the waiting room wasn't crowded but it had a few people there my mom waited with me and I waited no longer than 3 minuets after being there and signing papers I was seen by a nurse,
I was called in the back to be assessed and she asked questions about my health and did I eat or consume anything you know the "regular stuff" and after that they weighed me and took my blood pressure to make sure everything was normal so they could proceed with setting me up for my surgery and I was told to undress put everything I owned and had on in my carry-out bag...put on the grown, hair net and socks and urinate in a cup she had in the room by the sink for a sample as she was leaving out she said open the door so we know you're ready, so I did everything I was suppose to do and open the door she was standing right there waiting for me and lead me in a room with a lot of other people I felt nervous and uncomfortable because I saw people with they're families and I was alone I wondered why my mom wasn't with me but I didn't "feed" too much into those feelings I stayed positive and waited for the next step,
So what seemed like the recovery room I was in at the time I was lead to an area where there was just a thin curtain to create the illusion of privacy from the others that were there and a little bed to lay on...I laid down and the nurse put my IV in and just gave me fluids and told me my anesthesiologist would be in to introduce themselves and tell me about themselves and ask me about it I said okay he was a guy and came in and introduced himself and ask if I was allergic and had and family history of anesthesia being a problem for my family or me I said "no" all the "normal stuff" so he then asked have you ever had anesthesia I said yes when I had my tonsils removed so he had me sign some papers about the anesthesia and he left and said my doctor would be in with me shortly I said okay
Waiting which seemed little bit longer than I wanted to wait cause it gave me too much time to freak out a little and worry and be scared and pray and regather myself to stay calm and try to mentally prepare for whats to come all by myself I was ready for this to be over I also was worrying about a cold I had just gotten over and thought that would cause a problem so while i was sitting laying still in the bed and my mind running like crazy it was halted by my doctor entering my little area and speaking with me and making her marks and measurements It was nice to see her, she was nice and we laughed too I told her it was "D-Day" and she said "D-Day? Is it D-Day or B-Day?" my smile immediately turned to a plain face after that lol and she laughed saying "im just kidding" so I started smiling again she made her measurements she was speaking to me about a lot she asked if I was ready? I said yes at the time I was kind of "out of it" but shes a really cool chick while she was marking my new nipples I asked her in my hazy state "are they supposed to be right there"? we both laughed and she said "you know you're the first person to ask me that" she said yeah and she explained to me "why" and reassured me about my new boobs and how she was going to do her absolute best for me...she asked me to look at them and see which nipple looked slightly bigger than the other I saw my left was slight larger than my right she made corrections so after my time with her she left and told me my primary nurse would be again to roll me over to surgery soon.
So after waiting a few seconds my personal nurse that came in to see me she was nice and told me she was gonna take care of me today and get me what I need she was a sweetheart the other people were kind but she was so super sweet to me and she put a little bit of anesthesia and antibiotic in my IV and said I'll be having my surgery soon and after I got more hazy and more "out of it" after the anesthesia was working on me I was being rolled into the surgery room which was a huge room by the way I was rolled up to the bigger table/bed to get on for surgery I laid down saw all the people around me including my creepy looking anesthesiologist who was looking at me under his glasses in his mask lol heard all of the talking and moving people setting things up and next thing I know I was out like a light.
I woke up and found my self in the recovery room in my bed and under warm cozy covers, I remember seeing my mom and my nurse she was speaking with me and my mom, I cant remember that well as I was in and out of sleep because of the anesthesia she was saying to my mom how she was trying to get me to wake up lol I was really out of it but I would wake up to drink I was so freaking thirsty and they provided me with tea and ginger ale I love that ginger ale hahaha it was so good they gave me tea with caffeine to try to wake me up didn't work, I'd wake up only to drink but she finally had to chance to change my clothes and to prepare me for my release my mom saw my boobs first and said "they look so good, they look perfect" I said mumbling "really thats good.... that's not fair I was suppose to see them first" my nurse and mom laughed at me.
So what seemed like another hour to get me to wake up and moving and breathing normally I would hear this beeping sound every time my breathing got off track and at this time my sister and nieces where there watching me and kissing my head which was too cute my nurse constantly told me I needed to wake up and sit up I know it kind of scared her but other than me being super sleepy I was fine just soooooo tired I do remember my nurse told my sister she worked on my for 4 hours and she a perfectionist and she was really good at what she does (going in and out of sleep) so I finally got up and fought hard to stay wake I had my clothes on already my nurse gave me a huge scrub shirt to wear I got up to get in the wheel chair to be taken to my sisters car with my mom and nieces so I could go home I remember yelling at them telling them to "come on! its cold" My nurse waited with me I heard her laughing and I left the hospital and made my way home.
When I got home its was like 4 or 5 p.m.I was in serious pain and my sister went to get my medicine and I was fine after I ate and took my medicine I was out for the rest of the night so here are some pics of the first day of my breast reduction...

TODAY IS THE DAY! I'm ready but I'm a little nervous
Hello just got off of work and I have a little time to post an update...for the past few weeks I've been preparing for this surgery and I have tried my best to avoid any kind of cold, its so funny I caught the bug Wednesday and its now dissipating the only problems left are cough and congestion the cough isn't constant but it is there I only hope this doesn't effect my day, so I'm posting this 4 hours before my surgery its almost surreal to know in a few more hours my dream for almost 7 years will be my new reality. (I'll post.. post op-pictures later)
