reconstruction - wanted tips and handy hints

Hi, I had the operation toe weeks ago yesterday. Spent 9 days in hospital and am recovering at home. Only had right breast donee nd had my left breast lifted and reduced, so hopefully by the end I will have a matching pair. I am quite surprised as to how good I am feeling. I am standing almost upright and can feel only a little pulling on my stomach. Both breasts are still,swollen and very tender, bit even they look good. Going to get some bio oil today and start ribbing into the scars that have no dressings. The worse thing is having to wear a stomach binder for four weeks, it is so uncomfortable. Lifting anything heavier than a telephone directory is not allowed. Driving ok after three weeks if I feel up to it. I see the plastic surgeon next thursday so I will be interested in what he says. Originally he said that I may need one or two follow up procedures, day surgery (covered by insurance) for tweaking, as I want my breasts to be really symmetrical. Sleeping to really difficult and sometimes I wake up almost on my side, which results in sore breasts. The extra pillows fall,out of the bed. Hope all goes well for you.
