29 Yrs Old and Love to Run - Toledo, OH

Hello jeanne76. First I would like to say congratulations on your upcoming surgery. As of today I'm 3 days post op. The first day and a half. I was a little uncomfortable because of the tubes. I had those removed yesterday (27 Mar 15). I did feel nauseous when it was time to get up and walk around. I walked around for 3 mins every hour. On day one my husband held my hands to guide me around . Day 2 I felt great and was able to walk around by myself. I was comfortable and slept through most of the night. I did feel a burning sensation under my breast from time to time . Once I took my meds the pain went away. I have to be honest I started to feel alot of pain once I had my drains removed. I should have taken my meds before my appointment. Although I was sore, I was amazed at my results. My breast looked great. I had 0 scarring. Although they're swollen I can see a huge difference. The doctor told me that I allowed to shower now. What a relief. I did have a little bleeding under my left breast at my appointment. The doctor assured me that everything was fine. Other than that I slowly getting my energy back. I dressed myself two days in a row. I also brushed my hair for the first time today. I would rate my pain(I had a couple painful moments today) at an 4. Overall I've been listening to my body and taking it easy. My husband has helped out tremendously. I almost forgot to mention. I did become constipated. I finally took a laxative today and it worked. Good luck with your surgery. You're going enjoy the results.

Thanks for the update. I am excited for you. I don't know why, but doctor said I won't have drains. I am glad I won't have that experience to look forward too. I feel sure I can handle the pain and discomfort. Keep doing good.

LauraaaR5 I just checked out your review. You look great girl. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely ask for another compression bra.

Thank you! How are you feeling? I almost felt better the first week than I do here in the second.. Maybe I'm doing more than I was, but just sore, oddly under my armpit/top of the outside of my boob. Keep up with your medication and do not push it! Looking good and I wish you healthy healing !!

Thank you.

Thank you. I work in an office. I'm limiting myself to typing only lol. I definitely don't want any reopening wounds :-(

Dont be afraid to ask for help. People will want to help you, rather than call 911 because you passed out.

Thank you. My recovery time definitely flew by. I'm still going to take it easy once I return to work, but overall I feel great enough to return. I will keep you posted on the rest of my journey. Congrats on your future breast reduction surgery.
