Day 3 Post Op
Mid day Saturday my back was really sore from being hunched over and also from sleeping in the recliner. I thought a shower might feel nice. I took my bandages off for he first time and saw everything and I melted down. My tummy is so square and swollen (normal but try telling my brain that). My breast each look like they have a top breast and bottom breast. The implants are so high up. Dr. Kayan told me to expect this until they “drop and fluff”. But seeing it in real life is shocking. My plan was to shower and I just couldn’t do it. By the time I got all of the bandages off and looked at myself in the mirror and melted down I was exhausted and my back was throbbing. So we ended up putting my compression garments back on and I spent the rest of the day in the recliner.
Sunday I ended up being home alone for quite a while. Which ended up being OK. It was challenging. But, I think I just needed to be by myself. I ended up taking two showers that day. Both felt great until m back started barking at me from hunching over. And sitting in a shower chair didn’t give me much relief either. I also spiked a fever Sunday afternoon and Dr. Kayan said it was due to something called Atelectasis which is induced from anesthesia and is due to not taking deep breaths and laying around lengthy periods of time during recovery. I had the fever for around 12 hours (it was hell) but was able to get it under control by walking around and taking deep breaths as she suggested. Sunday night and Monday morning I was very sore and I had a headache that I couldn’t shake. I realize two things, I did a little too much Sunday (laundry, light chores and made dinner) and I had forgotten to drink ALL the fluids. So I spent all Monday/Tuesday in the recliner stayed on top of my meds/fluids and didn’t do anything but rest. Today is Wednesday and I’m doing the exact same thing. I’m going to allow myself to continue to rest with nothing else on my list of things to do for another couple days. And I’m not going to feel bad about it!
And the highlight of the week…I pooped finally!! That was awful! I should’ve started he stool softeners the week before surgery. Note to self for any future procedures. Yikes!
I see Dr. Kayan on Friday and I’m very much looking forward to her making me feel better about the implants. Because right now I think they are so ugly and I’m afraid they’re too small. But I know I’m supposed to trust the process. So cheers to me trying!
Oh and I weighed myself. I am up 11lbs since Friday (5 days ago). So that whole water weight thing is a real deal! Do yourself a favor and don’t weigh yourself. That messed with my head too!
Here’s my most current pre-op/post-op pics. I can’t wait until I love the new body on the right. Right now I cringe.
It’s SURGERY DAY!!!
Provider Review
Dr. Kayan is the most phenomenal doctor that I have ever been a patient of. She is highly knowledgeable, personable and gives realistic expectations. I’m a pretty rational person but sometimes I need someone to hold my hand and tell me “everything is going to be ok!” She did just that for me. Leading up to my surgery she and her team were easy to communicate with. I never waited more than an hour for a response to a question (and I’m not kidding). The night before surgery Dr. Kayan text me to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. She cared enough to check in the night before. The day of surgery Dr. Kayan walked in my suite and she seriously seemed just as excited as me! She couldn’t wait to give me the body I was meant to have. After surgery she again checked in with me after we got home and again the next day. I had a mommy makeover. There was a lot that went into it. And I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t a little uncomfortable. Over the next couple weeks I would text Dr. Kayan to ask questions or to reassure me that this was normal (again, the hand holding). I’m not sure if I ever waited more than a half hour before I heard back from either her or her assistant Chrissy. When I needed prescription refills I would text her and minutes later they were sent in. I honestly don’t know how she does it. Dr. Kayan made me feel important, heard and like I was her only patient. She is truly a gem and I am so lucky to have found her.
