This is a post I wrote on BE that weight loss website I am on I talked about before. I am just copying and pasting from a thread I started.
Well Hello my fellow followers. Feb 2nd I had a BL/ no implants. Things went well. I woke up in some pain but able to go back to sleep. After about 20 hrs of the pain not being able to be controlled in the left breast they switched me over to Dilauded from Morphine. Worked SO much better. The pain was gone in 5-10 minutes after the shot. The only problem was it made my breathing very slow and my O2 sats drop. They did not like that much. I also fainted a few times due to low o2 levels and low heart rate. But as soon as they stopped the dilauded and I just went to percocet things improved quite a bit.
I have minimal pain in my breasts right one just feels like I got punched in it a few days ago (just sore). Left one hurts a bit more but not bad for now. I am keeping up with pain meds, fluids, walking around and have come colace and some other "poopin meds" headed in so I am hoping NOT to get constipated any more than I am now.
My tummy is swollen, I think from the fluids and recent TT. But all in all I feel good. The boobies are a bit higher than I want them but I know they will settle down soon. I also am "prepped" for implants as well thus the higher boobies.
I am surprised about how good I feel. Just need to stay on top of the pain and all will be good. No drains (Thank Goodness) and just a lollipop incision. I have ice on the area now. It is amazing and odd to have perky boobies. Right now they are a bit misshapen and high.
Oh I am using the binder they gave me for my TT just folded in 1/2. It is working well. The ace bandage kept twisting and turning. I have some pretty gnarly bruising on the top of my boobs. That is where is is sorest. Also I have nipple sensation in my left side already!! I dont know about the right, I felt the left by accident pulling the gauze off. UPDATE I cut the binder too small so it did not hold the ice well. It will hold JUST the girls and provide compression when needed just not the ice. Ice is my best friend right now. I have had them on ice continuously now. I am finally giving the ice a rest but I am afraid I am missing it already. I fell asleep with it on and it leaked. So my incisions on the right is wet now. I have a washcloth inside to pull the moisture out. Not going to rub them dry OUCH.
To those who are thinking of getting the girls done but are afraid because of the pain. It really is not too bad at all. Just keep on top of the pain. I take 1 percoset every 3-5 hours at the beginning of the ache. I was told 2 every 4-6 but I don't want to take that much. It is a deep ache no REAL pain tho.
I am feeling better already today. I tire easily, If I don't have ice on them constantly I can feel it. I was even able to do some light cleaning and did the dishes. I can not put them away cause I am not supposed to reach above my shoulders. Unable to do laundry cause of lifting also. I was scared to death having ice on the "teens" lol I got a giggle out of typing "teens". It was -30 ish with wind chill, when I went in for surgery here. I was SOOO worried about "shrinkage". Not fun when they get painfully hard cause they are cold. But that has not happened I also put it on the tops or bottoms not near the nipples.
OH btw I still have sensation on both sides, actually more sensation than before!! That will be a good thing later on after I heal more. Hopefully I am not hyper sensitive.
For those who care to see I have an album I will try to keep updated you can check out. WARNING There is bare boobies showing!! Must be 18 blah blah blah to see.
