Week After Surgery Questions

[crc38 0]

So, the pain I've been having, I'm assuming it's normal, but wanted to know what others thought. The back pain, incisions sites, etc.

But I'm really sore under my breasts. Like, extremely. My mom thinks they were probably clamped back during surgery (I'm a F cup) and there is slight bruising underneath of them.

I've also been having pain where the band is located. I'm assuming that this normal (the doctor knows about it) and that's it's just swollen.

Any advice to help any of the pain? I've been taking liquid tylenol with codeine but I'm pretty sure that's the reason I almost passed out after showering last night. (Oh the drama.)

Thanks!

My breasts are larger and I didn't have those issues...I'd check with my surgeon to be sure. They shouldn't have handled you so roughly.

Sorry I can't help you with the pain; I was lucky and liquid tylenol the first 2 days took care of it. If you're still taking your prescription pain killer, make sure you don't get constipated!

Good luck; it gets better.

Thanks. Hopefully by the time I see him next week, it won't hurt anymore.

And I will definitely keep the Constipation in mind, since I haven't gone since the day before my surgery.

I had the same pain that you are talking about especially around the port and I am a G cup. I think its totally normal. After two weeks time the pain went away for me.

That's exactly it! It's worse on the side with the port. The bruising is worse there too. Maybe that explains it.

And two weeks isn't too bad. It makes me hopeful for the end!
