Took surgery tape off! Almost died.

Well what I thought would be an easy process ended being one of the worst moments I've experienced thus far, though this.
My last appointment was last week. I went in and they took off the surgery tape, cleaned my incisions and they put new tape back on. I was instructed at that visit that this week I should take off the tape at home and begin applying vitamin E oil twice a day to help disintegrated the inner stitches and of course to lessen the appearance of the incision scar.
I was ready for the task and was even advised to rub Vaseline on top of the tape to make it easy to come off. I went ahead and put Vaseline on them as soon as I woke up the morning of the task, and by night time they were loose enough that I could wiggle them off very easy. Once I got the tape off I cleaned off some of the residue and you can still see the marker so was very focused on looking at the cut while I rubbed off as much of the marker as I could. One moment I was absolutely fine, the next moment I became so Ill I thought I was going to pass out or worse die.. My body felt as though I was sucked into myself I got so dizzy and began hearing a buzz in both ears. I became so pale and broke out into a sweat that seemed like I just had been through a marathon... It was horrific!! My husband has been out of town for business but thankfully my sister was here to save me. She fanned me, gave me cold water, and a wet towel. I began throwing up so much. Once I finally did I felt a bit better but I looked as white as ghost and had chills for the next 20 min. I understand it was shock from looking at my cuts, but what is so weird is that I'm not a squeamish person and before the episode began my mind was on how great the line looked and the location it was in! I was happy not the opposite... I would have never thought that subconsciously my mind was about to play me a hard one. I have never even been sick by blood either. Well I have looked at them again since, cleaned them and haven't had any other problem.

First off YOU LOOK GREAT!!! Secondy, I TOTALLY relate to the shock of seeing my scars up close 1st time. I had almost the exact same reaction as you except I caught myself before throwing up. I go into shock easily so I know the drill (see my post about my hypoglycemia-you may have low blood sugar like me). Watching Saw movies puts me into cardiac arrests damn near. And I'm not really squeamish either! I can be detached with most gruesome scenes. But seeing MYSELF cut like that.....whew. Totally caught me off guard. Had me on the floor curled up in a ball LOL Glad you're feeling better hun...where did you get those nipple covers btw?

Thank you, I'm so happy I did it so far!! I'm going to read that as soon as I reply.
I wish I would have been warned about this possibly happening, I have never had that type of experience before. I was scared to look at them again but have since the episode and everything went well. Phew! Glad it was just that and not anything worse. I can't believe you have to deal with it often it must be awful. =/

Also I got these nipple skins from Amazon.com. They're awesome, I've used them a dozen times at least and they still work great. All you have to do is rinse them and reattach the plastic that comes with them.

Your surgeon did an amazing job at stitching the incision. You can tell by these pictures alone, that they will heal well. My surgery is on July 29, and i've had three nights of insomnia. Weird, how our bodies just react to things we didn't know we felt before, or was effected by before

I've known I wanted to do this since high school that Was 10 years ago! But I didn't find Dr. Guerra until two years ago. I've seen his work on maybe 4 different girls (Not his site) and every single one of them looked great. I knew I needed him to do this if I ever pulled the trigger. Even more after reading about him, and his specialty with breast or I guess I should say his reputation as being one of the best breast surgeon where I live and the U.S. MENTOR has chosen him I believe 3 or 4 years straight to speak at their seminars and he was one of 5 chosen from thousands to go and study and train for the memory shape implant! He literally looks at his work.. Like if it were art! Which it is. I'm so happy with how the incision turned out. I've only seen one other persons incisions he made and it was on this site! She's I believe 9 mo out and her cuts were almost are identical to mine from the beginning and now you can hardly see them. I'm excited to heal nicely... Now if my eight boob would just drop!!

Please do!! I was so lucky my sister was at my house or else I may have actually passed out, I think. She fanned me, put a wet towel on my face, and gave me cold water... All as I laid next to the toilet. Horrific... I really hope it doesn't happen to you. I wish I knew before hand that it was a possibility to get that sick from just looking at them, and weirdly not even grossed out about them. My subconscious played me a hard one that's for sure.

yea it can be very scary if you don't know what to expect when going into shock. You literally feel like you're dying! I've been dealing with it all my life and although I HATE it, I'm used to it and can usually fight it off at the first tell tale sign...usually when my skin starts turning cold. I still don't understand how simply looking at something can cause a shock attack. I'd like to think its maybe 'cause we FEEL more, are more in tune with emotions, more sensitive....I'd rather think that than to think I'm a scared little punk lol The researcher in me has found that some people are more sensitive to adrenaline in their body. Or rather, their heart is sensitive to adrenaline/cortisol spikes, which sends them into shock. I think this is likely what happened to you when you looked at your scars. Scary stuff and I'm glad your sister was around to care for you. If you ever feel that way again, the best thing to do is call for help and lay down. If you don't lay down, you will faint and wake up with a knot on your head or face. Ask whoever is helping you to bring you something sugary, like candy or orange juice. And just breath steadily or you will hyperventilate. Do not try to walk, there isn't enough blood pumping so you will likely faint again. Hopefully you'll never experience that again but it doesn't hurt to know what to expect and do if it does.

Love those nipple skins! And I love amazon so I will def be ordering those. My nipples were pretty flat before my BA and now they stick straight out which makes them sooooo sensitive. Def need these asap! Thnx luv!

Well it's been a little over two weeks since I got the girls and wow has it been an up and down roller-coaster of emotions. I'm ultimately happy I finale made the choice but wow people are not kidding about the pain. At moment's that's the only reason why I have questioned it... Why would I willingly put myself through something (pain) like this? Well... What's done is done! I just have to roll with it and I now see the light a little more. I feel much better, have more strength and the morning tightness isn't as bad either. I have a lot of pressure on the side of my boobs is that normal? Another thing I've been worried about is that the left boob has always been the most painful one the more swollen one as well but it is rounding and dropping much faster than that right one. The right seems to have never gotten swollen and now sits so much higher, I'm afraid it won't catch up?!? What do you ladies think? Off my pain meds but will continue taking a muscle relaxer before bed until I finish my prescription. As of last Tuesday I'm going braless during the day and only wearing a bra during sleep. I'm hoping my right boon drops and looks just like her sister because I love the way my left breast is looking!! Let me know what you think.

i think everyone is different after surgery, and some people came back really fast and some people need time for them to have feelings to be back normal. i had both feeling back in about a week
