Day 4 Post op

This is my first update since br, tt w/mr. Overall Im doing well. Yesterday was the worst so far. My drains kept pinching my skin and I was in alot of pain. Today has been blah. I move around slowly so as to not cause my drains to pinch and pull. I love the way I look and I know I have a journey ahead of me. If I had to do it again I would. My surgeon and his staff were top notch. They calmed my fears and left me feeling calm and relaxed. I sleep in a sports bra and that keeps my boobs contained without being uncomfortable. I have to wear my binder for 10 days but its not so bad. My kids have been with me every step of the way. I am so blessed to have them take care of me. I dont want for anything. I will add more photos as I progress. I hope my posts help.

Thank you. The first 2 days were pretty good. When I woke up on the 3rd day I felt terrible. Today is day 5 and I could barely move my pain was so bad. I see my doc in the morning and pain management will be at the top of my list. My drains pinch alot. I have alot of pain in my pubic area and its very difficult to get comfortable enough to sleep. Im hoping that when they take the drains out tomorrow I will be able to wear a better compression garment so I am able to move around a bit more. Overall I'd do it again. I havent had any issues with my incisions. My PS hasnt allowed me to shower yet and thats been ok Im a bit concerned about the glue getting wet so even when he says I can I probably will still wash from a basin just a bit longer. I hope this helps. Im trying to stay current with my updates but I do tire quickly.
