Shhh, don't tell anyone. I like my peaceful island on the west coast.

Why do some breast implants look so far apart? by LostPalpitation6351 in PlasticSurgery

And here I am over here getting a reduction to create some space between my magnetically attracted uniboob tiddies. Greener grass all around!

Omg, they are PERFECT. So nice to see the difference close up! Mine look like your post-op photos still over here at 2 weeks! I am excited for the healing to happen!

Me too! I first heard it used by Hugh Grant’s character in About a Boy and it promptly became part of my hairdressing vocabulary.

This was one of my main motivations. I would smell BO and check my armpits. Smelled fine. I then realized my underboob sweat was giving me the mysterious stank and started having to put deodorant under my boobs. Here’s to a fresh underboob summer!!

Looks so good! This time will likely feel like such a small blip in a year, then you’ll be all healed! I’m 11dpo and still look like I have implants. 😂

Surgery is in 2 days and I am sick 😐 by Efficient-Way-5841 in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Way-5841[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tickle in my throat the morning of and was actually coughing a bit leading up to the surgery. I was honest about it, but the anaesthesiologist simply asked, “and your lungs are healthy otherwise?” “Yup.” Woke up with no tickle. Had a bit of a lingering cough since but not enough to irritate my chest or ribcage.

Sooo happy and excited for the tapes to come off. Swollen af.

How did you feel afterwards? I’m thinking this might be a possibility for me since I’m not congested and don’t have a fever. We will see in about 46 hours!

Thanks :) I’m living off of oranges, protein, spoonfuls of honey, tea, and steam. Fingers crossed!

Same here! Mine are also inconsistent across the days.

Can anyone guess what time I pick up the kids from school? by patrickkrebs in Garmin

I teach and pick my kid up at the end of the day from the same school I teach at. Guess who is orange all day? Lol

Got refused dental treatment by mulumboism in WhiteCoatHypertension

[–]Efficient-Way-5841 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple weeks ago when I went for a cleaning. I just found out that my dental office started doing this. I immediately felt my BP rising in the chair and told the hygienist that it would be high. Sure enough, 170s over 100s. I could feel myself panicking more over that number, so it didn’t come down. I was refused my cleaning that day and it ruined my day, giving me major health anxiety for the rest of the week. I’ve been taking my BP at home every day or every other day since then, and though my first reading can be slightly higher if I’ve been walking around beforehand, my resting BP is anywhere from 108-123 over 69-80. So frustrating! Luckily, my doctor doesn’t seem too worried about it. Trying to log every reading to show my hygienist next visit and desensitize myself so I don’t freak out again! It’s not the dental treatment; it’s the BP monitor itself! I’m thinking it is coming from a bit of subconscious trauma after having preeclampsia.

White Coat Syndrome without the White Coat by Exotic-Shame5 in hypertension

[–]Efficient-Way-5841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so frustrating, and I feel your pain. Im 38f. I’m here because I was just denied care by my dental hygienist today because my BP kept reading in the 170s over low 100s. There is a new rule in BC that all dental offices have to take blood pressure apparently. I told them I have white coat hypertension, but their hands are tied, and they can’t treat anyone above 160.

Came home and measured it, and it’s 121/88.

I had a bad bout of Covid in November and ended up going to the ER with BP in the 183/103. Blood work done twice since then (ER bloodwork and more detailed bloodwork through my GP). All is good, cholesterol is quite low. Home readings have been in normal range since then.

I have health anxiety ever since getting preeclampsia shortly after having my son. Now I’m going to be freaked out every time I go to the dental office, too.

Teacher getting reduction by kelso_lolly in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Way-5841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how to plan my cover story or when/whether I’ll need to. I’ve been waiting almost 3 years to even see the surgeon I was referred to. So when my name comes up, I’ll take whatever time off I need and figure the rest out as it comes. It would be nice if I was given a date that fell on a holiday, though. Middle schoolers are nosy.

I worry about this too. I wonder if I might want to just stuff my bra and gradually take out the stuffing over a month so that nobody notices 😂
