I'm All Done!
I also had a breast reduction and tummy tuck Monday, 11/12. I am most excited about my breast reduction. I was squeezing into a 40 DD and overflowing the cups. I never could fine EE cup size on the racks. It looks like my cup size is a B?? even with the swelling. No pain from the breast reduction, but I know what you mean about where the drains enter your body. Dr. Jonathan Saunders did my suergery and I highly recommend him. He's done all the surgery on my buddy, Denise Andrews, who I come to the support meetings with. He weighed the skin removed. It was 14 lbs. I am so very happy. The drains in my breast are out. I see him this Monday but I think the tummy drains don't come out for another week. My tummy muscles are a little tight, but the Vicodin help with the pain. One thing I did notice that my pain was not bad at all except when I came home from attending the Gastric Bypass Fashion Show at Christiana. My drains were filled and the color did change. Guess I got carried away with all that clapping for all those models, especially for my friend Denise. The pain afterwards was well worth being there and seeing everyone's transformations. Hope to see you at the Victory Church meeting on Nov. 20th. I'll be there.

(I still need to add my pic to my profile and have not yet been able to edit my profile. My surgery was RNY).
Hi There and Best Wishes for your recovery! I am about 7 months post op and new (5 months) Delaware resident. I cant begin to tell you how lonely and hard it is to meet people with our situations when you are still looking for a good dentist and dry cleaner! We are in a new development so we dont even have many neighbors. I am not too comp. literate and have never done this before (lots of new things now!), but I am totally full of questions and am listening with rapt attention at all that is said because it is the experiences of you and those like you that stem the graft for the rest of us to grow. Looking forward to my tummy tuck and breast lift as well.
Happy Healing!
