How are you doing maiden :)
Deaks, that was very brave of you to have a breast reduction knowing it would prevent BFing. I didn't know that but my cousin had a breast reduction before kids and didn't BF as I recall. I thought only implants affected BFing! Luckily my surgery won't affect BFing, or so it seems. It is a pretty new procedure but there have been no reports of problems BFing after and my dr was very insistent. I would not have done the fat transfer otherwise, but just the lipo in that case. I do have 2 very good friends who had implants in their early 20s and are very glad they did. And I have 2 other friends, one very close, who had lipo, both thrilled with the results. And part of their results being so good was getting the surgery young. Do you ever consider another reduction after you have your daughter? Or are your breasts still a manageable size?
I have been home now 24 hours! Friday was my best day so far, I felt even better and walked around and shopped quite a bit. Saturday was rough bc car rides are hard on my back but it wasn't as bad as I feared. Today sucked, but I think it's bc I forgot to take my antibiotic & painkiller last night. My skin is starting to react to my girdle. I'm pretty sensitive to polyester and similar synthetics which no doubt my girdle contains, also my skin can't breathe. I think I'm itching due to healing, too. I will shower lightly and try wearing my steel boned cotton corset loosely over a silk tank, hopefully that will help with my poor irritated skin. If the boning doesn't hurt, it should provide better support and help my back, too.
Funnily, the most difficult thing about being home has been dealing with my cat! She is definitely angry with me for being away, but still wants to snuggle with me. Usually she lies on my chest/stomach which are exactly the places she can't lie. I keep having to ward her off until she settles on my legs. It's just sad bc I know she feels rejected! And I don't think I'll be able to bear her weight for a couple more weeks.
I have only just seen your posts/ thread. I wish you a very speedy revovery and I hope your results are great! Get well soon Hun! :) xx
After each pregnancy they returned to the size post surgery thankfully! Had I not had it done I would never have breast fed anyway.
