First, I'm on heavy duty pain meds, so I hope I can still think and type this post properly. I had the surgery this morning.
I can already see that I am now a member of the IBTC, and proud of it. It's a dream come true. I already feel lighter and they are no longer in my way! I still have cleavage, and hoping that I still have that after swelling decreases.
have been keeping them iced down, so that should help with swelling.
My surgeon had me buy a Fruit of the Loom front closure comfort bra from Wal-Mart (style 96014) it's like a sports bra. I bought it way to big and am glad. I know it won't fit for long, so I'm having my husband go to Walmart tomorrow for smaller ones. That way I'll have them on hand. I'm supposed to wear them for 6 weeks. He dock used the bra as part of his dressing, it’s stuffed full of gauze.
Besides Vicadan, I am taking one anti-biotic a day, when the vicadan starts to wear off, my breasts sting and burn. I'm so thankful for pain meds. The surgery was a done this morning at around 9ish. I’m not allowed to take a shower for 5 days. So, I took a sponge bath before bed. I might ask my husband to wash my hair in the sink tomorrow. I’m so excited about my perky little breasts!!!!!! If there are any PRE Breast Reduction surgery people out there, feel free to ask me questions.
Yay trish! This is great news. I'm so glad you're out of surgery.
Your girls are going to stay perky. I love my full C! And I have lots of cleavage at 34c. Works for me to not be lugging those big breasts around.
Rest rest rest. Hydrate and get in your protein and you'll be great. Don't forget your stool softeners along with your Vicodin. :)

Congrats!
I'm right there with you...IBTC indeed. And frankly, I could not be happier.
If I wanted to to, I could go braless and I love that. (of course, I wouldn't go anywhere w/o a bra but you know what I mean!)
It is so nice to have them off my belly. There is no fold anywhere, they don't touch anywhere underneath. Nice 'projection' as the plastic surgeon's call it!
Best part is everyone saying "geez, how much more weight have you lost??".
Truth is none.
But big boobs make people look bigger. (Apparently they did me anyway.)
Here's to a quick and uneventful recovery for you!
