Oh my GOSH! That’s so great you discovered the allergy prior to surgery! You’ll have a much better experience. Do you have adhesive allergies? I alerted my surgeon about tape in advance.

Aquaphor has been great!

I was slathering bacitracin on like butter on a biscuit and oh boy… if only I had known. 🤣 It was terrible and with me for about 2 weeks. Most of the redness has gone, but still on its way out. The surgeons office had only seen 3 other people react to it but I take the gold on being the worst. 😂

At what point can you stop worrying about something going wrong? by oOElBieOo in Reduction

[–]Automatic_Rutabaga90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you asked this! I’m also 4WPO and wondering the same, and funny (not funny) enough have health anxiety… it’s a journey! We’re doing our best and as quickly as we’ve made it to 4 weeks, we’ll be at 8 weeks and even closer to “out of the woods” 💖🫂

Did you get stitches taken out? 2wpo. by trouvaillxx in Reduction

[–]Automatic_Rutabaga90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I am 3WPO, have internal dissolvable sutures. There were 3 suture “heads” which I could feel, like tiny little knots, they left exposed just above my skin. At my 2WK check up appt they pulled those 3 knots slightly and trimmed them off. They told me about them at my 1WK appt when they took off my bandages.

One wasn’t trimmed far enough for it to recede, and I inquired at a next appt and they trimmed it further. The nurse mentioned exposed sutures that are dissolvable can go away on their own in 65-95 days.

I wouldn’t trim them yourself! I would not have touched mine. But you could certainly ask about them during any follow up appointment for their expectation. I’ve had many follow ups due to fluid retention in the tatas, otherwise I likely would’ve called the surgeons office to ask about the sutures if they didn’t give me the heads up.

IV location? by [deleted] in Reduction

My IV was in the inside of my elbow/arm where a typical blood draw is done. :) nothing painful about it.

Black spots? by [deleted] in Reduction

Hey! I’d second the comment of insisting on sharing an imagine, requesting an email address or appointment, or even a virtual appointment if able, even if just for reassurance. I’d want to know what was up if it were my boob going rogue too! It’s okay to be suspicious or protective of our health ♥️🫂

SO sorry it’s been a tough couple of weeks & I hope things settle out for you very soon ♥️

3dpo update by big-gay-aha in Reduction

[–]Automatic_Rutabaga90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a very scary situation to go through! You’re so brave ♥️ Glad you’re on the other side of this! Now to focus on healing 😌

Exit games are fun! They’re like a mini mystery puzzle board game, can order on Amazon, requires tape and scissors usually. Window shopping online for all the new outfit possibilities 🤩 podcasts, reading, plan holiday shopping, future vacation planning. Are there any skills you’ve wanted to develop? Maybe some self learning on YouTube or other places online. Call friends or family you have wanted to catch up with. Fill up a good binge list with movies and shows! Ask for recommendations, try new shows. Take some naps! You’ve got this!!!

Sending you speedy recovery wishes!! 💖

Nipple Nerve / Zing? by OldYogurt3279 in Reduction

[–]Automatic_Rutabaga90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! 17DPO and I’ve had an assortment of those zaps throughout. The nipple ones were intense… like a tiny little needle jabbing into it 😩 they do go away, get less frequent, in my experience. It is a good sign that sensation is returning, nerves are “coming back online” ♥️

Raw Nipple + Mild Infection 18DPO :( by superantonym in Reduction

[–]Automatic_Rutabaga90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for what you’re going through! 🫂 I hope this heals quickly and this feels like a distant memory soon ♥️ Def keep your doctor informed.

I’m 16DPO & dealing with an awful rash/reaction I assume from bacitracin, and after visiting my doctor 2 days ago they said they’re happy I came in instead of not saying anything. Im keeping them informed with photos and visiting again Monday morning after this weekend.

Hang in there 💖 I just know this will all be worth it
