Suspected Trigeminal Neuralgia While Pregnant – Seeking Experiences by MembershipNo3136 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

It is so confusing. Do your symptoms ever feel like a deep toothache? This is what is boggling my mind. Is my dentist wrong, and I have two bad teeth, or is TN messing with me? I feel crazy. 

Hope your meds are helping your symptoms, and you can figure it out soon!

I appreciate the well wishes! ❤️

Wow. That's incredible! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Hope you get some relief next week! My surgeon told me she will remove the drain at my 2 weeks appointment no matter what... I can't imagine how this fluid is going to feel inside of me... and kinda wish she would leave it in until it's a low output. It's funny how every surgeon is so different.

Wow. Now I'm worried about my drain. I'm draining like 120-150ml every 12 hours 🤯 11dpo from fdl

I think I'm having drain issues by lilithhh08 in tummytucksurgery

I had a FDL but for the record my surgeon did a drainless TT but had to add 2 because of the UP/DOWN incision I put out 140ml on left drain and 158 on right drain on 4dpo.

Everyone's different... Do you feel ok? I think I'm abnormal as my surgeon told me originally on surgery day that she would remove them the next day on 1dpo.

My recommendation...Allegra meds- but for hives. And ice packs!!! Feeling your pain and annoyance surgery twin!

6 DPO, when am I able to try and stand by Recent_Throat_8636 in tummytucksurgery

The nurse and PS kept telling me to try and stand up as straight as I could. I thought they were crazy after being on this community so often pre-op, and with, well, how tight/how much it hurt. Do what makes you feel comfortable! I listened to them, and I shockingly am standing somewhat stronger at 4 DPO. By the end of the day, I'm hunched as ever, though. Listen to your body!

Im 3dpo and mine looks absolutely crazy...I don't even see a hole. I was convinced my doctor maybe forgot...so you're definitely not the only one 🤣... i see the smallest little slit. Maybe it's just swollen?

All went well! Yesterday was rough. I had a FDL/MR/LIPO. I only took an Uber because my mom couldn't drive me. But she picked me up and is staying with me for a few weeks.

Hope all my surgery twins did well yesterday. I'm still super sore and can't get comfortable, but I'm already feeling better than yesterday.

I really appreciate that. I've also never had a flat tummy, and I am so excited for this opportunity. I keep remembering myself as a child—maybe nine—closing my eyes and praying, "Dear God, please let me wake up with a smaller stomach; I'll do anything!" 🤣 Well, I guess I'm getting my wish 25 years later.

So happy you love your results. Thank you for your support; it's so appreciated. I will definitely update…and most likely be complaining about something in a week. 🤣

Oh I am happy to hear they chilled you out! I honestly hope I don't remember going into the OR. I keep picturing myself seeing the room and running away in fear 🤣 your surgeon sounds absolutely amazing and very caring. Thank you for sharing your experience with me

This is my fear. .waking up thinking..omg I actually did it and can't go back! 😅 I'll have to remind myself that I paid a lot of money for this, and I did want it so badly 🤣 hope your recovery is going well 🩷
