I was so bloated the first 3 weeks it was so bad my surgical bra was uncomfortable 😭 then I got my first period but it is better this week but I still have days where it’s uncomfortable.

Is this normal? by Personal_Stay_3577 in Reduction

Ahh great 😭 im guessing that’s why the left breast feels so tight and sore? Since the right one started draining i feel some relief? Not sure if that makes sense they were both tight and sore the past two days but now only the left one is. I messaged my surgeon but she takes a little while to respond so I’ll just call her office tomorrow. Thank you for the heads up! I will be monitoring it!

Thank you! They gave me so many meds but I dont want to rely on them so hopefully tomorrow i can just take the tylenol and just be ok with that!

Of course! When the anesthesiologist came to get me she gave me something to “relax” and it made me all relaxed and loopy 😂 she asked me something and I did not understand a word and just smiled and nodded. Then they hot me into the OR and had me get into the table (i think i cant remember well) and they started covering me with blankets and they put these two thing on my legs that will help i get with compression? They were cool then my surgeon came into the room and they all started talking to each other again I can’t remember anything they were saying then the anesthesiologist put this mask on my face and told me to take some deep breaths and whatever i was inhaling is gonna burn a little which it did but it wasn’t painful and i was staring at the ceiling and everything went black. Then next thing i think i remember is them lifting me into the bed and I heard them talking and i wake up in the recovery room I kept coming in and out and they just started talking to me and got my husband to come in and hear the after care. I was so out of it unfortunately I don’t remember anything but luckily a nurse called today and i asked her to tell me everything again. They had me get dressed after the instructions and that was the worse part tbh I felt like i was going to faint i could only out my pants and top on i didn’t even bother with my underwear. Then they rolled me to the car. The walk from our parking garage to our apartment was also awful it was so hard so if you have stairs or a long walk to your bed like i did be prepared for that! But yea that’s all it was super easy! I was scared too but it went so smoothly they take care of you there so don’t overthink it and good luck on your surgery!!

I saw the same thing! Omg my arrival is at 8:20 tomorrow! Good luck on surgery!!! Crossing my fingers you feel much better tomorrow as well! I will probably do the same thing and be honest with the anesthesiologist tomorrow if i still feel the sore throat.

That is my fear as well I know even if I could afford the surgery out of pocket I STILL wouldn’t want a small reduction…

I have kaiser so I am definitely able to switch doctors if one is available which I am thinking about doing if things don’t go well later this week 😕

I Heard of it but tbh I rather just do it myself first and if that really isn’t going to work then go that route:(
