Hi All!
I had my breast reduction 3 days ago and was meant to head home after a 1 night stay but ended up needing a second night in hospital after developing a hematoma and going in for a second surgery. been home one night right now.

Honestly feeling so rough right now :’) my back is very sore from only being able to lay down on it and i’m in a constant state of feeling queasy.

is there anything i should be doing to alleviate some of this pain? i keep finding myself in the 2 hour mark before my next meds dose super uncomfortable. also haven’t pooped since my surgery lol so i’m staying to worry about that.

this is my first ever surgery and im taking it a bit hard- had a cry last night from lack of sleep and discomfort.
still super happy with the results already! just struggling through the start of my healing process 🩷 any words for what to expect or how to alleviate back pain would be great!

3 days post op! already loving the results! not loving the back pain from not being able to lay on my sides or stomach and already struggling with lack of sleep. even swollen i can see such a big difference already.

i feel ravenous and queasy at the same time rn which kind of sucks. had a cry last night but excited to see myself in 4 weeks when im thriving.

anyone have any tips for helping take the weight off of my back? i already have suffered back injury in the past so i am having a hard time only resting that way haha.

super excited for shopping once im all healed up for a new wardrobe of clothes that actually fit! went from an F to a hopeful c 🩷
