Hey guys - almost 5 days post open, still doesn't feel real. The surgery was scheduled for 4-5 hours, I was done in 2. Everything went really well according to the surgeon. I've got my drains in til next Tuesday and my girl has been "milking" them twice a day. There hasn't been any problems until yesterday when she did the right side, I got this sharp pain in what felt like the nipple area. It came and went pretty fast. Then tonight, same side, she slid her fingers down the tubing and when she let up it was the same pain times 100. Anyone else experienced this? It kind of came and went for the next couple minutes.

Also, how long did you guys have to stay binded up? I've got gauze underneath this thick and wide ace bandage and its starting to drive me mad. My armpits itch so f'n bad I could rip them off.
