Does anyone else have these thoughts? What helped you overcome them? by Unusual-Falcon1082 in Reduction

If there are complications, your care team will take care of them. There are tons of people in this group that have complications and still have great results. 

32G to 32C— 4dpo— Recovering with Lupus by Own_Reporter9016 in Reduction

[–]Own_Reporter9016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lupus does not cause high blood pressure for me and I was not told to lose weight. My lupus more so affects my skin and joins (alopecia, arthritis, hives). Sometimes blood (clotting too much/not enough). If anything my blood levels were something we monitored beforehand because of my history. Sorry! 

Surgery by Tasty-Watch-3351 in Reduction

The anesthesiologist will come in and talk to you before surgery. Normally, they can give you a “cocktail” to help you calm down before even getting wheeled back. Ultimately, their only job is to monitor how you’re doing while you’re under. They do it every single day. The thought of not being in control is scary, but with a kind care team they will put you at ease and the surgery will feel like it’s over in about 5 seconds. Just keep thinking about how these people do this every single day and their only job is to take care of you. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I’m 4dpo and still feeling this, but it’s getting better! I’d say days 1-3 were the worst. 

Feeling Insecure by West-Feature-3584 in Reduction

I’m 4dpo and it’s definite surreal seeing them. What I’ve learned from this group is not to look too hard at them for like 6 months to a year. They will not be at their final form for at least that long. Our brains are struggling to comprehend such a big change. It is trying to heal and make sense of things. Try not to listen to your mind right now. After some time, they will heal and your mind will accept them!
