I’m an “After”!
Well its the first evening after my breast augmentation and im very happy to say I feel pretty good. I received an accupunture treatment before the actual surgery which was relaxing and i was told that it would be beneficial post surgery as well by helping to decrease swelling/pain and increase circulation. I really cant say for sure it worked, but i feel good, better than I thought i would, so it just may have. i woke up from the anesthesia not knowing where I was and then i came too after a bit. i felt some pain and tightness and then the "shakes" came on, but didnt last as long as my epideral (?) shakes after my three natural births. quite sleepy, so i rested in the post recovery room. The hospital and staff were excellent (Hospital de Especialidades, Nuevo Laredo, MEXICO). I was given a beef broth, jello and jamaica water before i left. plus i had to prove i could use the "facilities" before I left. I was sent home a an Rx for a 7 day antibiotic, tylenol and a stronger pain med "just in case". Now that im home, i feel good, but that is sometimes bad for me, b/c i think i can do more than i should, so hubby is forcing me to rest. im starting to really swell on the top of my breasts, which is making them really tender. My nipples are sore too, almost like when my milk came in after the birth of the boys, but nothing out of this world. I havent actually seen the new pair and will have to wait until my follow up tomorrow with Dr. San Miguel. Maybe the drains will come out too….i need to chill out so catch you later!! Hugz to all!

Don’t over do it!!! Listen to your husband you’ll appreciate it. I had mine done 3 years ago and when I would do too much, I paid for it at the end of the day.
