PO Day 10
I'm getting around a little better every day. I returned to work on PO Day 8- not recommended unless your job is sedentary. Below I've put some thoughts into words that I've spent much time contemplating over the past 10 days:
*I recommend that you get up & move around each hour to avoid getting sore.
*10 days out & I still have difficulty standing up straight at times.
*I could see part of my rib cage when I took off my binder this morning!!!
*Swelling is much worse at night- common sense, but worth noting.
*Your binder &/or CG (compression garnment) though uncomfortable IS your friend. Even when you feel like you're stuffed in sausage casing. I've even broken a nail getting into mine :-(.
*Be patient with yourself & your healing. This is MAJOR surgery!!!
*Don't compare your healing to anyone else's. Everyone heals @ different rates. It is not uncommon to look 2 sizes BIGGER due to swelling while healing*
*I'm generally a very positive person, but ...
There are still moments when I waver back & forth as to whether I should have had surgery. Fortunately, these moments are few & I know I'm going to be ecstatic with my end results. I'm just being whiny & impatient.
Thankfully, my fiancé is my cheerleader, & I do keep my "eye on the prize". This is definitely a journey ....parts of which surprised me. :-)
Bye, bye drains!!
PO Day 5
Provider Review
I chose Dr Sandeen without hesitation as he performed a BA with maxoplasty (2012) after 2 lumpectomies left me extremely asymmetrical. Aside from the initial shock that I was no longer an "A" cup, I couldn't be happier with the size & shape of my "girls". He is a meticulous surgeon/artist. Of course it doesn't hurt that I too work in the medical field & see his meticulous work first hand. Upon my consultation for a TT, he patiently answered all my questions, thoroughly explained the procedure, & post operative precautions. In addition, Dr Sandeen's office staff is professional, yet very caring- a winning combination!!
