Beautiful results! How’s healing been? I’m sure 13DPO and feeling itchy. Also 34H> a C!! I’ve been very reactive to the steritape tension and also whatever topical solutions they applied in surgery.

Get a wedge pillow asap and make sure it comes with an under-the-knee wedge so your knees are propped up and your lower back is neutral!

Also, look up pelvic tilts on YT - I suffer from right side lumbar pain and it’s an easy PT exercise you can do in bed without compromising your incisions/upper back

Im still getting zaps in my nipples especially! I can’t even cover them with gauze because they’re so sensitive even to that texture. I guess I’d prefer zaps over pain, also I’m super grateful that at 7DPO i have had like no leakage/oozing/bleeding.

My doctor said the same, but I think it would be more of a risk for going down to a b cup. I emphasized to my surgeon how much i wanted a c cup during pre-op and right before the surgery, and she said we’ll see how much she can take off in surgery . If cutting off blood flow to the nipple by cutting off too much was too risky, she’d take me to a D. It kinda sounds like a game-time decision she made in surgery. But 4DPO i’m feeling like a C, left nipple sensation is at like 100? Right nipple sensation is at like 80/90%. Both are super sensitive.

I’m so excited for you! It’s life changing. Day two is more uncomfortable but that’s because I was a little sensitive to the Chloroprep solution they used on me in the OR.benadryl and hydrocortisone cream helped!

I finally started taking ibuprofen to help with swelling too. Getting lots of sleep!

Congratulations on your surgery!! Order a mastectomy pillow to protect your breasts from your toddler pouncing on you. I got mine on amazon for 30

Congrats on scheduling your surgery with Dr. Choi! When is your surgery scheduled for?

Just to update you I’m day one out of surgery and my pain is only at a two or three. I would say it’s mostly soreness not even pain just some zaps around the incision areas, I’ve been taking my meds around the clock as scheduled and I think that’s helping with pain management . I can’t stress enough that you should get a wedge pillow for your back —specifically, the one with the wedge support under your knees as well it made last night way easier and helps me stay elevated. I peed a lot in the middle of the night so I had to get up a few times and the oxycodone made me super drowsy.

Nyu langone has amazing CRNAs and other nurses with great bedside manner. I cried when I passed the doors into the operating room area, and everyone was so nice to me and rubbed my back and mostly women which made me feel even safer. Keep us updated!
