10 Years of Chickening out and Now I'm READY!!!! - New York

Tomorrow will make 3 weeks!!!!!! Soo it's 3:15 am and I'm wide awake one of the most frustrating things post surgery has been this D@mn insomnia!!! I have a follow up appointment tomorrow hopefully the drain will be removed and this stinking fluid has been drained fully! Have any of you experienced any insomnia if so what did you do to combat it!? I really want to take a sleeping aid but its way too late for that now. Any tips to keep my sanity!!! Will post pics tomorrow

Seroma seroma serrrrrrrooooooomaaaaa, so it's been 12 1/2 weeks since my surgery I developed a seroma In both breasts (dr. Said I've been doing too much) she opened a few sutures and the left beast has given me virtually no problems I was instructed to squeeze the fluid from my breast during the shower *kinda weird it's like squeezing a water ballon* however the right breast is troublesome the sutures she opens close up within a few hours so the fluid can't be let out. Today my doctor put a drain back in the right breast to get it all out, I was also instructed to take an antibiotic... So back to my couch to watch tv and RELAX. My next Appointment is Friday hopefully this problem will be solved by then!!! Hope u all are doing well.

Hey ladies so I went for my 2 week post OP visit and the doctor said "your still doing way too much you have excessive swelling in both of your breasts" so i developed a Seroma in both breasts (excessive serum fluid) she cut 2 of the sutures at the mammary fold and release tons of fluid (yuck) she also started me on leviquin prophylactic measure. I have to go back tomorrow to make sure i have released the fluid from my breast.

I am hoping the puckering in my left breast begins to even out and look less freaky. Overall i am happy with the results minus the minor aesthetic short comings.

I'll post more tomorrow after my second appointment.
