5 weeks post-op
Honestly the recovery has been amazingly good. Getting my tape off was a breeze. I've been able to stand up straight since week 3. And no serious pain (have my good & bad days). I traveled last week for work and I did have extreme swelling day 2 I was good by the time I got home. But I was hella fatigue so I slept all day Saturday and Sunday lol. I do recommend getting a good compression option while your skin is healing. I've been doing my Amazon compression with my binder and it's worked. My breast have finally not bothered me as much. Pictures are from today!
2 weeks Post-Op
The last 2 weeks have been good. I honestly haven't dealt with much pain. More discomfort when the swollen starts. The binder sucks cause he rides up. Sleeping in my recliner chair started to bother me so I switch to the bed with tons of pillows. Can't wait to get my tape off next Friday!
Day 2 Postop
I'm 2 days postop. Below is what the last 2 days have been like....
Surgery day: Dr. Farris and his WHOLE team are amazing! He truly cares and takes changing people's lifes serious. Waking up I had minimal pain and no drains! The doc give my S.O. good instructions for my immediate aftercare. Which was was drinking fluids, managing pain, getting up and no solid foods. Honestly the first day wasn't that bad pain wise. Note, I suggest taking a suv/truck over a sedan(just make sure it's not too high up) The suv was easy to get in and out of once home.
1st day Postop: I slept in a recliner having only to get up to use the restroom (downside of drinking lots of fluid). The pain in the morning was around a 5 so I only took Tylenol. My breast did start swelling that morning which just seem more of discomfort than pain. Went for a postop appointment at noon, which was fairly quick. Dr. Farris said things look to be healing good, cleared me to shower late the next day. He also answered additional questions we had. From the extra activity my pain level did increase to a 7. Note, things I've needed help with so far, sitting backdown in reclinder (its a lift chair so no help needed getting out), opening pill bottles, and food and drinks. Lastly, coughing and laughing are a b*tch! Lol
Day 2 post op: My back hurts (as many people mentioned), still no bowel movement (I usually go at the sametime every morning) taking Milax and Stool Softer. Pain seems pretty manageable. I can tell that the swelling is starting in my TT area so that is adding to the discomfort. But I'm getting around fine. Worse part is getting back into my chair and in a comfy position. I kept my activity somewhat light beacaue I wanted to have enough enegry for the shower. These pictures are from today before my shower.
Note, it's been difficult trying to keep the binder from riding up.
