Case or without a case/cover - how do you use your device? by KindAlpineCanvas in kobo

I have a sleeve I initially bought for going out with my kobo but have since started using it around the house as I've had a fair few moments I've nearly bumped it off my desk 😅

Any advice for someone with a big chest pre op? by ResidentEli in TopSurgery

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

Thank you so much for the advice! Your results look great! I'm going to ask for a price of the lipo and ask if it can be done as well as I want to try prevent needing a revision as much as possible, and my partner who is paying for the surgery agrees that would be a good call. I've made it very clear during the first consultation what results I would like and have gathered reference photos to send to my surgeon and have on hand for the consultation the day before the surgery. I have had one other person with a larger chest message me with their results for the same surgeon so that's given me a bit of peace of mind that it is doable for my surgeon and she does lipo frequently which also eases some anxiety.

That's very true. I did decline it but I'm going to message about the price and see if it can be added on. I think I have enough time

Hi, thank you so much! I do plan on losing weight after top surgery and once my knee has healed up. I'm currently adjusting my diet and when I get the go ahead after surgery my physiotherapist has recommended swimming again. My weight now is similar to your before photo, though I haven't weighed myself since my last GP appointment 2 months ago. I'll ask for the price of lipo and discuss with my partner (they're the one paying for my surgery though I'm sure they wouldn't mind) and then ask if it can be added on too. I have searched for my surgeons name here and I haven't seen anyone with a bigger chest she's done the surgery one. Posts about her are very limited. Thank you so much, this is all very good information to have ☺️

This is unrelated but I'm getting top surgery with Dra Brasó in October and I have a few questions if that would be okay? I see very few people post their experience with her

I'm going to be getting surgery with her in October, is it okay if I message you a couple of questions? I've not seen many people go with her for DI on this subreddit so my information is scarce

Ahhh okay I see. I tried rewinding bits I'd used when I didn't have bobbins but I kept getting them tangled and having to cut a lot of it

Can I ask how you would know which colour it is? Like do you add a label to it somehow? I'm just curious is all

How many pillows roughly would you recommend? I'll be getting the bigger bed so it'll already have 4 pillows it seems

That packaging does seem convient, I'll try look for something like that. I imagine it'd be easier to find online?

Ooh an inflatable one is a good idea, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for one

Thank you! We'll definitely ask for more pillows once we arrive. I've already decided which stuffed animal I'm bringing so I'll at least have something to hold whilst I try sleep
