Finally Going to Do It!! 44DD/DDD and Getting 550 Gms Removed from Each Side. -Muskegon, MI

Had my 2 week check up yesterday (a couple of days late, 2 weeks would have been on Monday). Things are going way better than I ever expected. I have have ZERO complications, no pain since day 4 and have been back to work full time since day 10 without problems. I am still sleeping on the couch in the recliner, but that is more for convienence than necessity. I am very comfortable sleeping with a couple pillows around me and it is just easier to sleep there instead of in the bed with all the pillows. I will probably move to the bed after the weekend. I will try to post new pictures later, but the boxiness has already subsided and the shape is getting nice. I had one stitch on each side where the drains had been (they removed the drains before I left the hospital) and my PS removed those. I was given the ok to go about any activities as long as they were not overly strenuous or involved a lot of lifting. I just can not believe how smooth this whole process has been and how happy I am with the results. I still have areas on the incision that are healing, but they are all completly closed. It is weird, I thought it was scabs that were coming off, with a nice clean scar underneath, but he told me yesterday that he applies a blue glue to the incisions and that is what falls off when the incision is completely healed, so no scabs at all. The areas that have falled off the incision areas already has nice healed, scars underneath. So happy with all of fhis, such a relief!

Well today was one week since I had my surgery and things are going super! I went back to work today (desk work) for about 5 hours, I had not had any pain medication since Friday and finished my antibiotic last night. I have very little dreaming on the dressings and am now only changing them each morning after my bath. I am totally independent in everything I do ( bathing, washing/drying hair, cooking meals, etc.). I am absolutely thrilled that I made this decision. The incisions are nice and intact and I have very little bruising, I know everyone is different but I would not hesitate to recommend this surgery . Recovery is going much better than I expected. Hope it continues!!

The home care nurse came today to check everything. I really don't think I need her to come but it is covered and it is good to have someone see the areas I can't see. Dressing change again went well with only a little but of drainage and a small amount of redness that we will keep an eye on under the left side. The swelling in my hands and face are almost gone and I am peeing a lot more and with no difficulty now. I only took one norco yesterday am and was fine the rest of the day. I ended up getting up about midnight and taking a half a norco because I couldn't get comfortable in the recliner to sleep, I also started last night with a frequent cough , but after the norco I was able to get comfortable and slept with no more coughing. I do remember having weird dreams though! I was given the on to shower today and on my own opt'd for a bath instead. I am one that takes a bath daily rather than a shower and longed more for that. I didn't fill the tub all the way up so was able to sit and soak without my incisions getting wet at all. I then washed my hair under the faucet in the tub in my hands and knees. Kept everything clean and dry and was relaxing. Got my first upright look at my new girls . I'm glad I had read all the reviews and how everyone said they look boxy at first. That was my first thought but was expecting that so it didn't bother me. I think I am going to be very happy with the size and shape!
