Hey ladies.. many of you are asking how i am doing so i thought I'd post real quick.I am having a very difficult recovery. If anyone else is considering multiple surgeries..DONT! This hernia repair is NOT fun in addition to boobs at all! I dont know which is worse right now! Pain meds don't work that well and my back..OMG..No one ever mentioned that the middle of my back would feel like its breaking in half! WOW....This is unreal! And my ribs feel like they are broken! I know they are bruised! I am whining yes.... I think had I had just the boobs done i'd be fine..but having the other two with it..was way to much..I am miserable! And my boobs look HORRIBLE! They totally look odd and way different than anyoen elses post op! I will post pics here in a bit.but im serious..they dont look right! anyway i am feeling dopey. i better lay down again soon. let me get those pics up and ill hear wha you all have to say. and yes my nipples are swollen to holy heck!

continuing to wish you well and hope that you feel better and better and better

MASONS GIRL · 11-16-2008, 03:17 AM

I'm sorry to hear that you're in such major discomfort. Just try your best to relax and take it easy. Get lots of rest and keep up on your meds. You'll be feeling more like yourself in no time. And try not to worry too much about your boobies, you've got PLENTY more changes to go through. Feel better soon!!

mom2dkl · 11-16-2008, 08:58 AM

Hang in there. I realize that your experience is different from mine because you had multiple proceedures done, but day 3 was the absolute worst for me. I was in absolute misery and had a bad case of buyers remorse. The tide WILL turn soon and you'll start to feel more human soon. Just try to get some rest, stay on top of your pain meds and don't forget to ice your boobs down. Ice was my best friend during recovery. Hugs to you. Feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon.

dkh1971 · 11-16-2008, 10:48 AM

I'm so sorry that you are having such a tough recovery.

I pray mine isn't as bad, but fear it will be.

BlondLady · 11-16-2008, 10:57 AM

Hang in there sweety. Try a heating pad on your back? Maybe someone can rub your back for you . Everyday should get better..hugzz hope you feel better soon!

jandy33 · 11-16-2008, 11:14 AM

Hope you feel better soon.. Sorry you are in so much pain.

lesliemo · 11-16-2008, 11:44 AM

awww hun, im sorry you are in so much pain. i imagine that anyone would feel like crap having 3 procedures done at the same time. i do hope you get to feeling better soon and i am sure your boobs will look beautiful soon.

Slinky · 11-16-2008, 11:57 AM

I second the heating pad suggestion, for your back.
Sorry you are feeling so awful. I can't imagine having three procedures done at once, but at least they are done now! Once you start feeling better, it will all be uphill and you won't have to go back for yet another surgery.
I peeked at your pics. Your boobs don't look so bad! They look like you just got them, is all. Tight and high up on your chest and swollen. They won't look like that forever, so don't worry. The muscles will gradually relax and they'll settle into boob shape. Honestly, mine were completely squashed and square at first. Totally weird-looking. But they didn't stay that way. Yours won't either.
Hope you get lots of rest and healing time.
