Home from breast reduction surgery

Boy was I off on the date - I thought your surgery was today, the 18th!   I got on here looking for you to see if you posted today.   Oh, well, I WAS thinking of you, just on the wrong day!  
Hope all is still going good!    I want to have breast surgery SO much - I am really having a hard time dealing with mine.    I can deal with the loose tummy skin, but not the breast!   Larry says to give it time, it will fill back in.   He is dreaming ;).  

Hey Paula, I'm doing OK.  I'm 10 days out and I ain't gonna sugar coat it...my breasts hurt bad.  I am taking the pain pills every 4-6 hours.  Today is the first day that I actually got out of bed.  I'm sitting in the living room....which is progress.  I realize that I'm sort of a wimp though, it seems others heal faster, or get through the pain better than I do, but I believe this recovery is harder than the sleeve, the gallbladder, but not shoulder surgery.  Shoulder surgery was the hardest.

Anyway, our insurance covers breast reduction if you have at least 100 grams to remove. 

My girls hurt, but they look spectacular.  Dr. Westfield did an amazing job.  I'm very happy with the results.  He said I'll be a high B, low C.  There a little swollen still, so they appear a bit bigger right now, but they will get smaller.  Can't wait!  I want to be a bonafide member of the itty bitty ***** committee!

So sorry you are hurting!    But, glad you have the surgery behind you and are going to be on the mend.   Soon it will all  be behind you and you will be a member of the IBTC!   

Good for you!! I would recommend using unscented maxi pads instead of gauze. They were much cheaper and easier to use for me. The bra keeps them in place. They padded my incisions nicely and protected them from the bra. I never had any issues after my lift. Boobs were easy.

It is pretty much the same surgery, but if you want to insist your surgery was tougher than mine, go right ahead.
