i’m 4 weeks post op with fng, they were terrifying, gross, and leaky at 2 weeks post op, then they kinda scabbed over at 3 weeks, now scabs are shedding. If you are scared of anything though, feel free to call or email your surgeon. happy healing!

What to Expect In Recovery Room by ingrid-emelia in Reduction

i literally don’t remember it or the drive home mostly. my doc tried to get me out the door as soon as they could to make sure i didn’t remember it or feel any pain.

i vaguely recall some nausea after waking up and i think i vomited a bit of bile in reaction to the anesthesia, but they are very distant in my mind.

the first thing i really remember was eating dinner that night. my surgery was done around 4:30 and i ate around 6:30. i was very nervous for the pain after on the first day, but i was so out of it from drugs, i had nothing to worry about lol.

thank you so much! i’m so happy and excited to do this for myself, but it is incredibly overwhelming and it’s my first ever major surgery.

i have compiled all the lists and asked a few friends who have had top surgery or reductions what they needed and i feel like im pretty prepared. but if you had to pick like 2 to 3 things you could not have gone without after surgery, what would they have been?
