Miss new booby

So most of you probably know I got a breast reduction done. I haven't talked too much about it because it's one of those awkward subjects I guess. And I know some people think with working out I could've done it myself, but I don't think so. Working out was so painful after one day of a workout I'd have to rest for 5 days just so my back would stop breaking. Now I'm excited to start working toward losing the other weight I've always wanted to lose. My goal is 30lbs by the end of October. I may need people to check in on me.. Keep me going. I think my biggest thing to over come is snacking. I'm trying to keep more fruits and veggies to snack on instead of candy and chips. But anyway I'll post more about that goal later. Here's my reduction story:)

I've wanted to do this FOREVER but always had my reasons for not doing it you know the I want to breast feed my babies, which by the way my milk ducts were so stretched out that I had to supplement with both kids it just never worked. I didn't have the money or want to do the work to make my insurance pay for it, our insurance did cover it and it was eaiser than I thought it would be. In order for insurance to cover it they needed to take so much from each breast with my measurements and weight my super awesome doctor, Dr. Angela Keen, needed to take 480 grams from each breast. She got 800 from each side, that's just about 4lbs total. She compared it to a cat sitting on my chest lol. 

My first step was the consult. Which went well dr. Keen is the sweetest and made me feel super comfortable. Then we had to wait for insurance to respond with how much she'd need to take. The insurance company has to respond with in 30 days. So I settled in expecting it to take the full 30 days. They responded in less than a week and next thing I knew my surgery was scheduled. 

I waited a little bit to do my surgery because I had swim lessons with my kids planned and I won't be able to get in a pool or bath for a month. So I scheduled it for the day after swim lessons. The day of surgery I had to be at the surgery center at 6:15 in the morning. They took me back got me dressed in some fancy surgery wear, I'm sure all the kids will be weearing it soon, (I should've taken more pictures through the process for the sake of blogging but I took none sorry;)). And before I knew it I was kissing my husband goodbye climbing up on the table and going to sleep. When I woke up I felt pretty nauseous and tired. And the nurses were talking about maybe having sleep apnea and I was just like yeah uh huh okay 😴. Then they wheeled me out to the car and then I was home. It was magical.

As far as recovery I slept the entire first day. Most of the 2nd and off and on the 3rd. I didn't have much pain I mostly felt sick, and tired. With a lot of uncomfortable. On the 4th day we got out a little bit. Walked around. And day 5 hubby went back to work. You guys he was so amazing through all of this. If there's one reason I'm glad I waited to have this surgery it was so I could have him by my side. He was so caring and awesome and he played super dad well that weekend. And all the others too but especially this one with me not being able to pick up the kids he had a lot of work. But anyway I got my surgery tape off on day 5, got to shower, basically felt human and ready to take over the world! I'm so happy with my new boobs! I'm ready for the next step!
