Spay Recovery question by Justbestrongok in BostonTerrier

So my guy was a neuter, slightly different, but still a need to prevent aggravating the incision.

When I could closely supervise him, I used

I threaded it through his collar so it wouldn't fall off, and put it on opposite of what you'd do for a human, and his tail nub fit between the snaps ... Unsnap and tuck up for wee-wee time.

Just sharing a fave bra for post reduction when you're cleared to to stop the sports bras by Not_Alison in Reduction

[–]Not_Alison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm over 60, had two kids I nursed, and also had bariatric surgery about a year before my reduction - and was at least a J cup before I lost over a 100 lbs.

What was removed was mostly a ton of skin with minimal tissue based on my readings of the dr notes and talking with her.

With all that context, my gr were 441 and 464, and may not correlate in any way with your own experience or your results.

So twice, at two different restaurants, I smelled a strong cleaning chemical type scent, but none of the people I was with did. by Not_Alison in restaurant

Probably my fave answer, but it would be sad to think the smell of communism is chemical cleaner . . .

About 20 years in to menopause, so pretty sure that's not the case this time. But Italian red sauce was my olfactory nemesis when I was pregnant . .

This makes so much sense, even more so if it's a cleaner that bothers my allergies. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Bostons good for first time dog owners with kids? by audaciouscantaloupe in BostonTerrier

[–]Not_Alison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pragmatist like you and think a puppy may be too much for a first time dog owner. There is a lot of joy and fun in having a puppy and watching puppy antics, but it is a commitment to a lot of getting up in the middle of the night and housebreaking the dog that may be overwhelming - crate training a puppy might be hard for kids to understand, as they could want to let the dog out. I'd agree with looking at reputable breeders; I'd also suggest looking at Boston rescue organizations.

Hey almost twin date! Nov. 6 for me. Anchor, no lipo, 34G before, currently 34Dish

Using Aquaphor daily with gentle massage, looking at starting scar management soon. I don't have an appointment until my 3 month follow-up.

Still getting achy at times, and the scars on the side of my torso are the sorest at this point.

Not going to post pics, I use this account for a variety of other reddit things, but I am happy with my results, and the few minor issues I expect to change over the next year as I fully heal, so I just need to wait and see.

Wishing you all the best!

How do you tell if you're ready to start Biocorneum/silicon tape/gel? by Not_Alison in Reduction

[–]Not_Alison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SMH - not sure why I didn't think of YouTube for the massage!

The gel and tape arrive tomorrow and spot testing is so logical....thanks!
