So it's hard to tell at this point how I'm doing. I was feeling good yesterday and bam I'm laid up today. Cough feels like I'm being ripped apart every time. I had one drain removed on Friday and the other comes out tomorrow. Thank GOD. A cidently got wacked in middle of the night by BF's arm right on incision. Ouch! Left breast aches more than other from reduction and for some reason I ran a fever over weekend. Not sure if it's because of the hot weather here in San Diego or something else.
Will post pics after I get drain out.

Sorry to hear you are still in so much pain. That sucks. Did she use exparel on your TT? I swear my stomach is still numb from it. Coughing is no joke. I sneezed just once the week after surgery and thought I was going to explode. Can you take some cough medicine to suppress? You are still very early in recovery. Each day will get better. Hang in there!

Curious about how you are recovering? Hope everything went as you wanted. Thinking about TT and Breast kit too, but nervous about complications since I am already 46.

I am almost 49 and recovery was better than I thought. I was laid up for 2 weeks and then slow for another. So realistically 3 weeks of doing mostly nothing. Pain pills were only at night after the first week and motrin during the day. The only thing I have to say is really think HARD about what size breasts you want. I was a large DD and went to a large C. It is a shocker to go so dramatically smaller. After 4 weeks she allowed me to wear my own bras and I went 'Shopping'. My breasts are starting to take shape now and I'm getting used to them. My abdomen is still numb and I was told it will be for 4-6 months. There's an occasional pull here or there and I know to rest. But other than that I'm back to walking my dog, doing laundry and things that don't involve too much lifting. I'm very thrilled with my results and am happy that I did it. I will post the before and after pics now so you can see the dramatic difference.

Thank you for sharing. You look amazing. And thanks for the advice on thinking what size I want. I am a DD after my kids they are very low too. Did you get implants or is that just reconstruction? I think I will be happy with a C cup which is what I was bfore kids. Specially because I run. Thanks again for your input. Will be making my appointment real soon. Did you like your PS?

The day after my pre-op appointment with Dr. Diana Breister Ghosh I was put in the hospital for 5 days with a ruptured abscess in my fallopian tube. Surgery was cancelled and I spend 3 weeks with an IV in my arm administering antibiotics to myself. Christmas was no fun. I spent most of the day alone sleeping.
Now I'm recovered and I've rescheduled my Mommy Makeover for February 8th. Day after the Bronco's win the SuperBowl! :) I'm very excited as the past few months have been a rollercoaster ride. My emotions over my missed surgery was intense and I felt like I wouldn't get another chance until next year. Well... I decided to go for it and not worry about everything else. I have my pre-op on Thursday and can't wait until the 8th. MY BF says I'm beautiful as I am and doesn't understand, but I explained that it is a self conscious thing for me and I just need to do it. I want the skin gone and be able to feel sexy again.

Oh no! That's terrible news but I'm so glad you are healed and mov big forward. Listen to your body and if your MD thinks it's safe to do it, go for it. But no shame in waiting. That is a lot for your body to go through. Be well RS sister!
