WORTH IT$16,000
I am 2 weeks PO..... Yesterday I got my drain and stiches removed, soooo happy about that! Can't really complain about anything, OTHER then the lovely swelling. I wont even post a side view pic because it's ridiculous. The nurse told me yesterday the hardest part of recovery is waiting. Next Wed, I am going to have the ultrasound done to help with the swelling, I knew this would b an issue for me, it has my whole life. I have been wearing a maxi skirt for like 2 weeks now, just not comfortable in my clothes yet. I am excited to shop for a dress next week to wear to a wedding in Carmel, although I may not be in a smaller size yet, My shape is so much better. Under my right boob is way more swollen then the left, gonna talk with Doc about this, I hope it will all b ok. I hope everyone is happy and doing well! I am posting my 2 week pic also.

Has any one ever had "burning mouth syndrome" from getting dry mouth because of pain meds or possible trauma to inside of mouth from the local anesthesia?? I love spicy food! Ever since surgery I haven't been able to eat anything spicy, when I went to brush my teeth I felt like I was using acid to clean them! Hurts so bad!

You look amazing!! I couldn't help but smile when I read your post. I confided in my sister that I was afraid of not waking up. Also, 6 months after I had my daughter, I had to have my gallbladder removed. Days later, I was severely depressed to the point that I wanted to die. After I came out of it, I inquired at the hospital and they felt that it was something to do with a reaction to the anesthesia. I guess maybe it triggered postpartum? IDK. It has been so long ago. However, I am praying that I never feel like that again and having to be put under for this surgery is scaring me a little. I hope that your swelling goes down enough for the wedding. Did you try arnica montana? I read great reviews about it and I bought it for the swelling.

I am 10 days PO and 3 days ago at my 1 week check up I would have been capable of desk work with little bits of walking. You will b a little hunched over still when u walk. I really hope u will have some help though, because u will need it those first few days. I had a real light case of postpartum with each of my babies, as far a depression goes after this surgery, I wouldn't even call it that. For me it was just a bad day or two, of irritability kinda moody I think it was because of the pain meds. I asked my PS about arnica they didn't really recommend it, not sure why... I hope you don't stress to much. Best of luck to you!

10 days PO. WOW! I am thinking I should NOT have stepped on the scale! I am 10lbs heavier then before surgery! I really really hope it's all swelling, I was expecting to be about the same weight, not heavier. Crazy! I swear I should have a nursing baby or something, I get the feeling off and on all day of that engorged your milks here and leaking, I have actually checked several times to make sure I am not leaking....so weird! I am feeling better today, besides the scale scare. Happy to b one day further into recovery.
