3rd Day PO MM W/ Axillary Breast Tissue Removal - Upland, CA

I feel like this will all be worth it once I see the final result. Right now I am on a scale of 7 for pain but when I get up to go to the bathroom. my back hurts so bad especially around the lats. I can't really tell what my tummy looks like because I'm so hunched over. I won't lie sitting here bored out of my mind on this recliner has got me thinking about how unproductive I've been and I'm wondering if I could have either waited or just done this another time. My frustration was mostly my tummy and no matter how clean I ate or how many personal trainers I hired, I got the results but not on my tummy. The realization that the excess skin will not disappear was reality for me to move forward with the MM. I also had developed some pronounced axillary breast tissue after having my last 2 kids and they were actually producing milk (lovely :-/) It became very painful and lumpy so I also had that taken out. I also got Natrelle 45-550 CC Silicone unders Moderate Round. Here's pics of my PO 1 and 2.

I don't know why but I just coughed twice and it hurts so bad .. am I popping stitches out of place? OMG .. I have never felt such pain in my life! All I know is I really want to take a shower and wash my hair. I feel so gross :-/

I bought a bath seat online and it arrived today .. YAY for Amazon Prime! Fortunately I have a detachable shower head and I can have my husband wash my hair .. I feel like a living oil gland. I can't wait to be "normal" because I am bored out of my mind!

Hi Everyone!

Well I'm 11 days post of and still a little hunched over from the surgery. My breasts are also so swollen because I'm just one of those girls that swell easily. My doc allowed me to take pics and send it to them via email since it was after hours so he can see if there was any bruising (this was wed 7/17) and we spoke and he said no - they just looked swollen and for me to just re-wrap, take motrin and stop the massaging until I saw him the next day. The intense "vavoom" feeling subsided. I felt like my boobs had their own heartbeat! and I felt some numbing in my armpit and behind my should area. When I saw him the next day Thurs, he told me to really relax because he suspected I may have not been resting as much as I should be - which is kinda true *guilty* .. He basically told me "your mind is ready but your body is not .. slow down because you really need to heal to get the best results and avoid complications" .... So like an obedient patient .. I haven't done anything - the house is upside down but so long as my kids are fed well and safe - I'm just going to have to let the other stuff go ..

I won't lie - I would really like to stand up straight, sleep in my own bed (I've been in this recliner since Day 1) and cuddle with my babies ... I miss them! When is that magic day when you start to feel like a normal person?!
