post-op day 5. Going for follow-up tomorrow and have a lot of questions to ask my doctor since I was too drugged up to ask when I saw her the day after surgery. I have not taken the percocet pain medication since late sunday night on post-op day 3 and barely took the Tylenol extra strength, but have still been really drowsy and sleeping most of the day. Happy to be done with the antibiotics, really hated the side effects. Hurts where the incisions are underneath my breasts and itchy. I was able to feel sensation in my left nipple on the same day after the surgery but I still feel absolutely nothing in my right nipple which is also sunken-in. I was but into a size large surgical bra at the hospital, yesterday I switched over into a snug fitting 38C cotton sports bra - though I can fit into a 36band I didn't want it to be too tight on my anchor incisions. I think I barely have any swelling being that my breasts feel soft and not hard (though right feels a little softer than the left breast). I had ordered Sineechi arnica montana online to help with bruising and swelling. I was unable to take the arnica montana pills the same day as the surgery being that I unexpectedly had to stay overnight at the hospital , whereas I took the pills the following afternoon when I returned home. Thinking I would take the percocet pain medication tomorrow when I see the doctor just in case she takes the stitches out. So far I guess I am happy with the outcome of my surgery though I am still very much worried about the lost of sensation in my right nipple and worried about how my incisions/scar would look once she takes out the rest of the bandaging. My doctor was surprised that I was able to feel sensation in my left nipple right away, so have my fingers crossed hoping that I would feel sensation very soon in my right nipple.

I can wear a 38C bra and all my breasts fit, NO BULGING ON TOP!

I had my breast reduction surgery on Thursday 15th at Stonybrook University hospital. It was supposed to be an outpatient procedure but due to dehydration,low blood pressure,low grade fever and bleeding from left breast I was admitted for overnight observation.
Today is day 2 and I still feel totally drugged-up, basically been sleeping whole day and barely have an appetite. I am going ti start taking Tylenol tomorrow instead of the percocet pain medication in hopes that I will be less drowsy. After bleeding, doctor rewrapped me with clean surgical bra then covered my breasts with ACE wrap. I was told to remove the ACE wrap on monday and have a 10am appointment on Wednesday 21st for my follow-up. Upset that I was too drugged up to ask doctor any questions about my breasts after the surgery.
When I first woke up after surgery I had this strange fear that she removed my entire breasts, though now looking in the mirror at home I am worried that she did not remove enough - but it's hard to tell, I seem to be wrapped up pretty good.
I do not really feel pain in my breasts unless I actually press on the sides or bottom or when I raise my left arm. When I was at the hospital it felt like my back pain had disappeared but now at home it's aching
again, though I think that could be because of my bed, i miss the reclining hospital bed!

I unfortunately came down with a cold and mixed with my seasonal allergies, have really bad nasal congestion whereas I had to cancel my surgery for tomorrow. Plus, both my sons have also come down with the cold and I don't want to be in pain and bedridden from recovery(even if I didn't have a cold) while both my kids are sick.
My surgery has been rescheduled for Thursday September 6th.
