27 Year Old 1 Child 44 DDD Hoping to Be Approved for Breast reduction - Pensacola, FL

I am truly happy for the decision I made and especially for the doctor I picked! Yall I finally hadecided my breast reduction!

So surgery was May 31st. I had to be there at 530 and surgery started at 730. It lasted 4 1/2 hours whew lol. It was hard waking up lol. I wanted to sleep and stay at the hospital. I'll tell you why I wanted to stay later. Anyway I was in moderate pain once I woke up so received pain meds in Iv. I was outpatient and had to get myself together to go home. Very nauseated. My crazy self was hungry and ordered a chicken noodle soup and milkshake from Chuck fila. That was not a good idea lol when I got home I threw up ahhh! Why didn't I read my papers lol. After that the recovery road has been intense.

Recovery well if you didn't know I'm a single mom of 1. My daughter is 6 years old. I wish I would have had the option to stay at the hospital because it's just us! Of course I have my mom but my mom has two little boys that she fosters well adopted, my nephews. So she was ttying to help me plus take care of them and they are very mischievous lol. Yes it was pretty crazy but I appreciate my mom so much! She stayed with me for 3 nights:-). I ended up staying over at her place for a few days as well because I was just nervous about being alone and if my baby girl would need something drastic etc.

I was able to shower the next day. My doctor wants you to keep the areas clean and I love that. I showered the best way I could for 2 days and other days I did wash ups. Wiping is hard as well but I worked it out because I didn't want my mom wiping me. Lol. Oh and your throat will be sore after surgery part of the reason why I wanted my milkshake. Trying to remember everything so bare with me. I was hurting so bad. The incisions really annoy you at times.

June 3rd was my daughter's recital and yes I went to it,I wouldn't miss it for nothing. I was hurting and running a mild fever but I enjoyed watching my baby glide across the stage. My incisions ugh well they have a mind of their own. First of all I didn't have any drains and was happy because I saw what a pain they were. Anyway first few days the incisions were just spotting and now recently it's draining a lot. Yesterday and the day before that it soaked two pillows and my shirt. Thank goodness the next day was my post op. I came into the doctor office soaked. Dr.Shaddix and Ms.Shelley were so sweet and understanding. I had text him the night before about what was going on and he reassured me ill be okay. When I came in Dr.Shaddix looked at everything,let me know I was recovering well and next was the drainage! Ahhhh

So Dr.Shaddix had to drain from my left side because it was a lot. It hurt but it had to be done. He didn't do the right side because it was coming out as much as the other side. He was concerned with why and where. He made me feel at ease and when it hurt too much he stopped. I truly was amazed at how well they take care of me. I have another post op on the 21st. He also told me to make sure I'm taking my antibiotics.

Today I'm feeling a bit better,I'm draining again from the right but I think it's from me moving too much. Anyway I will be posting more updates. Truly happy I had this surgery and definitely happy I picked Dr.Shaddix! God knows I needed a understanding doctor.

So after the fiasco last year, I am finally approved for surgery again and will be saying bye bye to these big girls of mine. No more pain,headaches I'm ready! This will also reduce my risk of breastcancer! Surgery date is May 31st!

Well back at square one!!! Waiting for approval. I went back to my first surgeon Shaddix! I just love him. I have my fingers crossed for the summer time but don't know if I will be approved or not.

This is just a huge waiting game that I hope comes out in my favor.
