    Default Recovery from a BA

    OK SWers who have had breast augmentation surgery...the girl I am seeing is getting a boob job on Thursday morning. I've told her I'll take care of her, and my job allows me the time, etc to do so.

    How can I best do this?

    When I was recovering I needed my drains changed and my mum just brought me food, drinks and pain meds. I didn't find it too painful and could go to the toilet and shower by myself but everyone is different.

    Get her what she wants..It's really that simple. If there's no children in the house keep the meds by her side, opened. It's REALLY hard to open child-proof med bottles. Go get her some crackers, CN soup and rehydrating things. She won't have an easy stomach from the pain meds. Ask her if the dr. wrote a script for phenergen..the suppositories. If not, tell her to get one. They will keep her from getting nauseaus and are a life saver. Suppositories are gross to me, but totally worth it...otherwise I would have vomited up the pill
    Help her up and down slowly.
    Get her a place that she can lie sitting up. It is very painful lying all the way down. I had to sit up in bed for nearly 3 weeks. Have a feather pillow on hand. Once she can lie on her side it feels oh so happy to have this pillow in between for support.
    Check in on her even if you think she's sleeping. She may have woken, and needed something..but in too much pain to call for you.

    Honestly, I don't remember a lot about my recovery for the most part. My SO was very helpful. Just that the dog jumped up on me, and he ran away the next day. Which meant I had to get out of bed and help look for him...NOT FUN!

    Also, have books and computer near her side. For about the first 24 hours I was a veg. Didn't even want to see the computer or try reading. I mostly slept..I think.
    Take good care of her!
    I'm not who I say I am.

    ^Hell no. I couldn't get up off the couch to walk to the bathroom for the first 3 days - let alone think about pulling down my pants! Getting up and down was really an issue for me.

    But of course everyone does react differently. The biggest tip I can give is to get the prescriptions filled BEFORE surgery instead of having to cart her into Walgreens or leave her alone while you run to get them.

    I was the same way.
    Have all her food and meds where she is going to be taken care of. I needed help for the first 2-3 days my first time. Mushy foods are the best. Have a barf bucket in case she might get sick from her meds for the ride home and at the her/your place.

    I was all alone for my first several days post-BA. This was good though. I had great medical attention for the first couple of days and the next week, I spent mostly in hotel rooms just watching TV. I sat and rested and didn't feel obligated to interact with anyone. I just spaced out and got over myself at my own pace.
    My husband was a huge help to me after I returned home from my BA, about a week later. Before my surgery, I went through the house, deep cleaned and put everything away so it was organized. A lot of the time, I was following him around the room or telling him what I needed or wanted. The biggest chores were cooking and laundry. I just made sure everything was caught up when I got back.

    Don't let her do ANY cleaning or chores. Don't let her reach for anything. Just pick it up and hand it to her. If she looks like she wants something, ask if you can get it for her. Don't let her lift anything at all. Don't let her carry bags or lift laundry especially. My husband would just take things out of my arms immediately as I tend to haul stuff around out of habit. He would only let me carry a bottle of water and a light purse. Also, make sure she has lots and lots of pillows to prop herself up with.

    ETA: tell her she's beautiful several times a day. this is helpful, too!

    Just be there and try to be nice and quite (the headache was unbelievable). She will be pretty miserable for the first day, sick, in pain, unable to move, dizzy. I just stayed in bed for about the first 24 hrs.

    The anesthesia is a bitch. That's the worst! She might be mean, cranky and sick until that demon created shit wears off.

    Had no trouble doing things myself, but did need help getting up to pee for that first day. If she has a good deal of upper body strength, she may be in more pain than expected as the chest muscles adapt. The spasms bout killed me for the first 4 or 5 days.

    or find out if there is a pharmacy close by so you can go while she's in surgery. that's what my mom did.

    yeah. i was an evil witch. i yelled at my mom, and i told my dad he was mad at me for getting it done so he didnt slow down enough over the speed bumps, and i cried when we got home because i didnt want to go to sleep.

    i could go to the bathroom by myself but i could NOT get out of bed without being pushed up. it was really hard to learn how to use only my leg muscles to move, as silly as that sounds.

    if you can get a tray so she can eat in bed that would be good. shes not going to want to sit up at a table to eat soup.

    i stayed at my parents house the first night, and then the next afternoon my mom brought me home. they came and checked on me once a day though.

    my mom also put each of my pills in their own baggie and stapled a piece of paper to each one bc i couldnt open the bottles, and that way we could write down the times i took each one.

    For me the first 24 hours were the worst. I needed help getting up. My surgery was out of town so the hubby and I stayed in a hotel overnight. I had to wake him up every time I needed to get up.

    Just be there for her, get her what ever she needs, do not let her pick up anything. When I got home I stayed on my couch cause I could sit up and still sleep, sorta. My mom hung out for a couple of days and helped at home, let the dogs out (couldn't open the sliding doors) made me meals. I was up and abut in 5 days.

    Everyone is different, just help her with whatever she needs.

    Did anyone else mention ice bags/packs? Double up on the zip lock to make it more leak proof and wrap any ice bags or packs in a towel.

    Oh, and make sure to be available at the surgery center (in the waiting room or whatever) when she comes to. It's nice to see a familiar face as soon as allowed when you are coming out of GA.

    I couldnt sit up on my own for a cpl days..so if I was lying down(as much as I could) and needed to sit up,hubby had to come help me. He had to help me walk to the bathroom too(though thankfully I could take care of business myself when there)

    I had lipo at the same time though..so my pain was prob more intense then just a BA.

    Make sure you have some light food on hand...broth soups, crackers..that kind of thing. The night OF my BA I was RAVONOUS...but for a few days after the pain meds made me so sick I couldnt keep anything but light soup down.

    I too was given the suppositories to take care of nausea. Wish my Dr would have just tried a different pain med since now I know that its percoset that makes me want to puke...if I had had Vicodin I may have been fine.

    Also...she will prob need you to drive her to follow up visits. I had a follow up 3 days post, then a week after that, then a few weeks after....spreading out more and more until my final 6 month follow up. For the first 2..theres no way I could have driven myself..esp since my Dr was an hour away.

    Oh yeah..and the not reaching for anything is CRUCIAL. My Drf told me not to lift my arms at all for the first week,then I could lift them to eye level...but it was almost a month before I was allowed to lift my arms over my head.

    I just wore draw string capries, if I really had too you can use your feet to pull them down. Wiping your ass and pulling back up is like .3 seconds of pain.

    Ice bags feel really good.

    I was really uncomfortable after anesthesia. I couldn't find a place to get comfortable. Finally I just half laid on the bed which yes hurt for another half a second and passed out. When I woke up less induced I could actually control my muscles more and use my abs to get up.

    I think when you know you have no one to help you you toughen up about everything. What was I gonna do piss myself in my bed...come on.

    But if you want to do everything for her then do just that. I know I needed to get myself going fast and I think that's why I healed so fast. But that's not even what this threads about.

    oh that is so true. my parents went to get my prescriptions but the cvs was literally right around the corner. i was asking for my mom instantly and continued to ask the nurse until she went and got her. i was not pleased that she wouldnt just freaking go get her!

    i certainly wasnt going to have anying do that for me.. that was for sure. and it surely would never be a guy i was seeing! but...

    your case was different than most. you say you didnt have much pain etc. i dont think having someone to help you makes you heal at a slower rate. you can really hurt yourself if you DON'T have someone to help and have to do things for yourself.

    ^^I agree that when you have to, you just get going a little faster. I had mine Friday morning and had to be back at work the Monday after (my accounting job, not dancing). I managed just fine. Driving myself to work was the toughest part.

    As others have said, just be there. Everyone is different so she might be just fine and not need much assistance but on the other hand she might be really sore and need help having a pee. Just always be within shouting distance.

    Also be supportive. She might feel weepy, a bit down, a bit irritable, so try and be understanding about it all. Its also a good idea to make sure you have everything you'll need in the house before she comes home so you don't have to leave her.

    I was up and making myself soup by midnight when I had surgery at noon. It's not all that awful, but it's really nice to have someone to wait on you hand and foot those first 24 hours. I think people are mainly out of it from the anesthesia, some people have really bad reactions. I thought I was well enough to go back to work in a week, BIG MISTAKE. I went back after three and started exercising after a month. Force her to take it easy if she's the independent type.

    I took care of Emily for the first 24-36 hours after hers. I must love that chick cuz I missed a playoff game to be there for her.

    Basically, she couldn't lift her arms, so I had to help her if she wanted to do anything lifting wise. She was totally capable of wiping her ass, and that's a good thing, because no way could I have done that for her. LOL!

    I agree with the open meds and the getting her what she wants thing, and obv. driving her home is a big thing too...

    Love it!
