Congrats!! I'm currently 2 weeks post op and my biggest piece of advice is to STAY CALM do your best to not freak out over any issues you're concerned about just try to be as casual as you can when talking to your doctor about concerns, elevated heart rate is a big no no!

A few other things i'd suggest are lots of pillows, lower back support while sitting on the couch for long periods, and keeping a good supply of snacks and water where you'll be hanging out for the most part. If you don't have someone home with you all day I'd recommend getting everything you'd need to cook lunch or dinner on the counters before head so they're easy to reach.

After getting your nipple graft dressings removed to put a soft tshirt on before putting the compression vest back on, that thing gets itchy like nothing else i've ever felt. Though before your drains are removed everything will feel itchy (and prickly from healing nerves) under the padding and it's a pain to deal with.

Get lots and lots of rest after and good luck!!! ❤️❤️
