[quote=Anonymous]OP here...I'm 10 days post op, and the hardest thing has been the emotional part. Since I had the nipple sparing technique (the nipple as well as the breast tissue is biopsied and all is clear) there is always a chance of decreased vasculature to the nipple which results in necrosis. So, I have had to do 4 hour sessions in a hyperbaric chamber to bombard the tissue with oxygen. It's doing MUCH better, but this wasn't explained to me beforehand, and it has been very, very hard emotionally. Pain wise, I've been carefully controlled with narcotics for the first few days, then valium to help with the muscles since the expanders are in. I go in to the plastic surgeon on Monday to see how the one breast that was "struggling" is faring. Thanks for the support! [/quote]
