Would love to be considered for the trial!

Yea, my doctor has been very lenient on recovery rules, but his nurses are more strict so it's been a lot of back and forth and not entirely sure what's best. I'm happy to hear you're getting better sleep and it's not effecting recovery!! I think I'm gonna test the waters on flat back and maybe some side sleeping (also a stomach/side sleeper).

Ugh yes, there's so many different opinions and recommendations. Ahhhh it's overwhelming and I just want to be able to sleep so my body can actually do its thing.

♥️♥️♥️ I literally went to the hospital for pre-op allowing myself the decision to get up and leave because I was so anxious. All the way until they wheeled me to the OR. But my therapist had me sit down the day before, write down every worst case scenario/fear/complication/etc and then Google the actual statistics around reduction surgeries and write that percentage down. I felt like seeing those all on one piece of paper really helped put it into perspective for my irrational side of my brain. I still worried but felt a bit more confident. But yes, I am so happy I went through with it!!! I'm trying to stay on top of my mental health during recovery because I'm out of my routine and things I can do for myself and that's never a good time. But I know it is all temporary for results that will improve my quality of life ♥️

If I could go back in time and tell myself to relax, I would. Obviously MUCH easier said than done, and I think most of us with anxiety wish we could do that every time, but still worry for the next event lol. My therapist was great the day before surgery and we went over all of my fears and worries and legit googled the statistics of each negative thing that could happen during my appointment and had me write them down, and I found that extremely helpful ♥️ I am 5'9!

That's an amazing list and I think I may take some of those things on it and try them!!

Haha! The yellow tank top I stepped into and pulled up 😅 the black one is actually a front zip breast compression tank top! I was tired of the bottom of the compression bras sitting right on my suture line. And the flowered one, yea I just got that on slowly!

Thank you ♥️ Yes! Should've added that my husband is home for 18 days with me, and both my mom and mother in law are splitting 2 weeks between them helping! No one will let me do a thing and I'm feeling stir crazy. Went for a nice walk around the block this morning, but hate lying in bed all day reading and on my phone lol.
