It's possible
Dear Jean,
Do you know if you're going to have drains? That's a variable, but still doable. Depending on how well you do, barring no complications it is very possible that you could go to the luncheon. You'll need someone to drive you.
Most of us are out of the hospital and home the evening of our exchange. I didn't have drains with mine, but many do. I took some pain meds, but not nearly as much as I did for my DMX.
I think it is very doable barring no unforeseen complications.0 -
HI Jean, I had my exchange
HI Jean, I had my exchange Friday Sept. 10th and I did better than I thought I would... I came home that day and had company all weekend, no drains and I was at the resturant for dinner on Tuesday night, that was 4 days. I would ask the nurse what she thinks but as long as you do good then go for it, no can't drive but I used a pillow under my seatbelt over my chest but I have done that since my first surgery in Feb! Good luck Hug:) Robbin0 -

Hello,
I had exchange in both breasts on Oct. 12, 2009, and had no pain and no drainage. Had surgery in morning and came home same day. Ate out at restaurant before 90-minute ride home.
Hope all will go smoothly for you, too.
Best,
Deb.0
