pics 4 days post op
After my shower I was able to snap a pic. My breasts still very heavy on my stitches so I don't keep the bras off very long. I will have my boyfriend take a pic of the front this evening.

Post op
Just a few things I wanted to mention about my recovery so far.
*I've been showering since day 2
*I took Tylenol 3 in the hospital and day 1 post op.
*I took Advil liquid gels on day 2-3
*I'm 4 days post op and I'm not taking any pain meds.
* Sleeping is my new pastime and I use plenty of pillows.
* my sister flew out to help for the first week.
* I have not lifted a finger and am healing really well. (My sister is a nurse)
* I only have sutures so I've leaked a little every day which is normal.
* This is the most rest I've had in 8.5 years and it feels good!!!

I'm 2 days post-op.
Sleep/rest is my new best friend.
Pillows are my other new best friend.
I've been taking Motrin 800 and Percoset around the clock because I need it. (Been in pain)
My nurse friend who is here with me has been feeding me really healthy, so no constipation.
Rest and sleep is KEY.
Drainage tubes are the devil! Lol

I'm so glad I don't have drains, but my tummy tuck is in the next few months and I will have them for it.

Made it to the other side
I arrived at the hospital at 6:30 am checked in and was prepped by 7:30am. The anesthesiologist was awesome and really helped calm my nerves, gave me my IV and told me she would see me in the operation room. My Dr arrived and marked me up then two nurses came in and brought my sister and kids in to give me hugs and kisses. My sister noticed how nervous I was and asked the nurse to give me something to ease my mind. Around 8:20 I was wheeled to the operation room, I remember along the way the nurse put something in my IV and I began to feel very tired. My last memory was laying on the table freezing cold and a warm blanket being put on me. I woke up in a little discomfort and was asking if I had the surgery. The nurse asked me my pain level every 30 minutes and gave me morphine to help. I was later taken to my room where I have been since. The nurse came in to change my bandages and I got to take a look and my smile hasn't left!!!! My boobs are small and perfect!!!! The pain I'm feeling is well worth it and I can't wait to heel up. As I'm typing this review I'm getting a little emotional because something I have wanted for so long has finally happened. Anyway, when I get my dressing changed today I will post some pics.

Can't wait to see the pics! I'm beginning my journey soon as well. In fact, I'm at my pc getting paperwork for insurance company and chiropractor is getting together my files as well. I'm scared but I want this so bad. How is the pain ? Really?

When I think about my surgery everything went so smooth. I was nervous because I've never been put to sleep. Trust the medical personnel, they know exactly what they are doing and pain is very minimal depending upon what you take. I chose to only have tylenol so I was more uncomfortable then others have been. Good luck!!
