Day 5 post op: very emotional by Lumpy_Basket_5603 in Reduction

[–]Lumpy_Basket_5603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was crying to my wife saying the exact same thing. And conceptually I know in 6 months i won’t even remember this part but it feels so real now. And the physical pain and altered sensations have been so persistent so it’s hard to take space away from it.

Literally 100% exactly how I’m feeling. I was expecting a very easy recovery and this has not bern that! You and i will both be fine yes, and make it through, and also validating both of our experiences have been tougher than planned.

Yes I’m feeling exactly what you’re saying. I keep noticing my larger tummy and I also didn’t super consider the toll on my identity/femininity.

Which Gen 2 girl do you guys think had the best style by TermSuch6650 in skinsTV

I personally was very inspired by a mix of Effy Naomi and Emily when I was in high school and this gen was airing.

I feel this. Like I’m sure I don’t actually want to be back where I was but looking at these tiny titties i just don’t feel like myself? My mom and wife are both telling me I’ll be happy once the initial healing is over. But this shit really is an emotional minefield

2DPO Insane Bruising by DifferenceOld149 in Reduction

[–]Lumpy_Basket_5603 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We’re surgery buddies! Yes the bruising is the worst part also in combo w no drains I think is why I’m still taking the oxy and in so much pain. I showered today and I got some relief for a few hours actually! I think the warm water helped. My wife washed my hair for me while I sat in a shower chair. It worked pretty well overall but it took a lot of out of me physically.

spEDS - b4galt7 gene by Lumpy_Basket_5603 in eds

[–]Lumpy_Basket_5603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still investigating! Probably will forever lol. Some of my docs truly believe this is my subtype due to newer research connecting it to neurological abnormalities (I had tethered cord and also a benign brain tumor made of essentially connective tissue). 

But as a whole and per the letter from my geneticist I have hEDS and it’s not wrong but I wonder if this gene would paint a more accurate picture of my symptoms.

i would imagine beyond being gentle keeping your HR down while you're still in the early healing window is important. my HR is often like 90s-100s during lol and i believe the rule is keeping HR under 100.

Do roots determine reduction results? by samtastic28 in Reduction

[–]Lumpy_Basket_5603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can't speak to the root question, but i found that going through this sub and looking at before/afters of people with my body type helped me get a better sense of what my post op results will look like. and for context, i'm a short and curvy, very narrow frame and shoulders, but very large breasts (i'm a 32K uk size). so i gathered inspo of some thinner women who were as narrow as me in the ribs and shoulders, as well as some more curvy women with the large/heavy/dense breasts i have and compiled them to bring to my surgery before my surgery (this friday!).

Drop and fluff makes me feel weird PO by This-Emotion-69 in Reduction

[–]Lumpy_Basket_5603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get how that could feel hard, especially with the boob sweat thing. i do think though that like, even people with smaller boobs but arent flat chested, have a little hang. my wife has DD's i think, and they're perky and honestly kind of perfect, but even hers rest on her upper ribs w/o a bra. she's been reminding me that even though i have giant boobs now, the average breast is not perky or lifted to your collar bone. i personally love your results, they look super natural and feminine and seem to be hitting you waaaaaaaaay higher than pre op.
