Agree with the above that the JP drains were the most troublesome. Not pain just difficult...and in the way. Figured out all kinds of belts, camisoles with pockets, tie a scarf around the waist in the shower....to deal with the dang drains. Had surgery in June, 2004, and no reconstruct planned. Tired of doctors and all that stuff. Did have one over night and the pump with happy stuff worked fine. DO the arms exercises.....repeat...DO the arm exercises. Just to do stretches and range of motion...again and again and again. Physically it is not a difficult surgery .....emotionally can be a bummer. Personally...was so glad to get the beast gone.....that is how I felt about the boobs...get the beast gone. Small price to pay to get the beast gone. Major support from a wonderful hubby sure helped. Was on the road in about 4 weeks camping with friends.
