Need support from others who have had breast-reduction surgery...

Hi. I'm almost one year out from RNY GB and have lost about 110 lbs :). A week and a half ago, I had breast reduction surgery. Things seem to be healing up nicely, but my surgeon had to do a FNG (free nipple graft) due to the size of my breasts. I got the bolsters off of my nipples this past Fri, 5 days ago. Last night, I noticed my nipples were peeling. Some of the skin that was peeling was black and I thought it was probably normal. This AM, my nipples look really, really wierd. A mixture of black and red where the skin came off... is this normal??
