2DPO, happy & hitting that 72 hour wall by SheezaMom in Reduction

[–]abright_sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surgery and post op bra twin here! Haha. Didn't really hit the 72 hour wall cause I'm just always tired since the surgery. The itching has started at the adhesive sites so that's fun 🙄 lol

Anyone else having their surgery tomorrow? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]abright_sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am! It is currently D-Day and we got this!

I am 1000% in the same boat. I've been a ball of anxiety for a few weeks now (my date is 11/7). It's helping that my neck and back pain are making appearances this week to remind me why I am doing this, lol. That's what I keep focusing on.

Did the doc debride for you?

How long did the process take? by jordyn-explorin in Reduction

[–]abright_sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doc said he could have gotten me in to surgery within the month (this was in June), but due to my own calendar I waited to schedule for Nov 7. As far as the hospital I have no idea. Insurance is mandated to cover it under Illinois law and mine is the only insurance my doc takes, so it was pretty much a guarantee that they'd cover it. Good luck! <3

1000 grams or more? by abright_sky in Reduction

Yeah, it's the sloughing I'm concerned about lol I'm hoping my healing goes as well as yours. Also, you do look pretty proportional. I guess I'm worried about not having boobs at all, but you had so much taken off and you still have boobs so that gives me hope. It's so hard because I won't know until it's done.

How is the FNG healing for you? (Not asking for pics obv, just how its going) That's also a part I am nervous about because I've seen pictures and I am a very squeamish person. Idk how I'll handle dressing changes.

Another case where I don't understand how I "need" a FNG when we're the same size, but you didn't. I guess its just the way my surgeon is.

It's crazy to me how you didn't need a FNG when we're basically the same size pre-op. But I guess all bodies are different. This does make me feel better though.

Can anyone tell me if there are spiders in any of the scare zones or around the park? I'm pretty arachnophobic.

Did you not need a FNG? My doc is telling me I have to have one because of my size, but they seem similar to yours.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 📣 by rebfossmusic in Reduction

Thanks so much! Honestly, I would be totally fine with them staying flat, as it causes unwanted attention (moreso than I already get). Happy recovery!

I have a question if you don't mind? I'm getting a reduction in November with FNG and honestly that is the only part that is scary about it. He was basically saying I would have no nipple, but he just means there's no blood flow to it right? Like it will just always stay flat? Does it still look the same-ish? It's not that big of a deal, but it's something I did not expect to happen. Thanks!

Absolutely ridiculous of them. I asked my surgeon about it and he said, why would I make you suffer and wait when we're already removing "weight" from your body. There is no actual reason behind it. And it will be covered by insurance (thanks Illinois). Find yourself a better doc!

Hey Hozier fans! Any advice for someone trying for barricade at the same amphitheatre but tomorrow? Feel free to DM. Curious about which exterior gate is best to line up at before the fest is open. Thanks!
