4weeks post op:)
4weeks and feeling good!!!! Still swollen on the outsides of my breasts. I am mostly all closed up exept on spot on the T incision on the right breast. Still very tired. Not back to full time work yet. I did think I would of bounced back a little faster but I guess my body still needs the rest.

I have a question.
So tonight I took the tape off the bottom incision because it was falling off. It seems a scam came off with it. Now I have a tiny hole that is bleeding. Is that normal??
Also had some greenish yellowish drainage. Is that normal as well.

One week later :)
So it's been a week. I'm really surprised at how well I'm doing.
Pain level has been good. Nothing to crazy. I get tired very fast. I'm still quite swollen and hard. Went to the clinic and had a nurse do my dressing change. She said they look great. I asked her to take a picture for me. I think they look beautiful.
I go in to the city on Thursday to see my PS.
Had my first shower today. That was amazing.
They only thing I really had a hard time with was having a bowel movement. It took me 5 days and a lot of help :(. Not something I wish to do again.
I will update again after I seem PS.
Oh can not wait till I can sleep on my stomach.

you do look beautiful!!! I am always urging people to drink prune juice post op to prevent constipation, that can be the worst part of the early post op days, getting off painkillers also helps get things back to normal. I slept on my side at 17 days and stomach at 3 months, but the 5 pillow back sleeping method was much more comfortable and successful than i could ever have imagined
What is the 5 pillow back method?
OOh Mammabear, $10 in a brown envelope.....only kidding! 2 pillows under your head and shoulders, one either side to rest your arms on and most importantly, one pillow under your knees, to protect your back, only your backside and heels touch the mattress, it is really comfortable. Good luck, hope it helps.
Congratulations! You look like you're doing great. I live in Vancouver as well and am just researching surgeons now. Can I ask who was yours? Did you pay or go the MSP route? I'm so ready to be rid of these big boobs!! Thanks and best wishes!
Hi sorry just saw your comment. I saw Jane sproul. I thought she was amazing. I've read a lot of bad reviews when it comes to her bed side manner. I didn't find that at all. But she is a straight to the point and no hand holding type. If you come prepared with your questions she answer them.
Msp paid for mine.
Wow! Perfect proportion and super shape! Congrats - rest up, you look fab [RS bleep]
