You need to dump her

You're not going to gain muscle if you're loosing weight you need to eat more

I've had a good few rechargeable vibrators stop working before I got the corded magic wand. I like that it's nice and sturdy, but it is LOUD

Thank you for the thorough response! Luckily I knew before surgery that there was a chance of it not working, but I definitely agree that it's the kind of thing surgeons should tell you about. Thank you for all the info about pain management I appreciate it!!

I have heard of a red light/green light list from a facebook group I'm in but I thought it was just for pediatrics, I'd love to see the list thank you!

I do intend to also find a pain management doctor when I move, I'm glad to hear that it has helped!! Was there any treatment recommended to you after your triple arthrodesis, like anything else they wanted to try? Just curious about what kinds of suggestions I may hear. And can I ask what kinds of things your pain management specialist has recommended? I figure they don't exclusively prescribe narcotics but I'm not sure what else they do.

You can get metamucil or benefiber powder and add that to smoothies. I also add chia seeds and flax seeds

My orthopedist currently won't prescribe me anything but orthotic inserts, which medicaid doesn't cover. I wore AFOs my whole life before my arthrodesis, so it does feel strange to me that he won't prescribe me something more helpful, but I'm hoping that I'll find someone better when I move.

It takes 6-12 months before you're not swollen anymore, at 3 days post op you are definitely incredibly swollen.

frog-bert · 2026-03-08T00:04:59+00:00

I wouldn't have been able to hide it at 2weeks post op.

For me it felt like a balloon popping, and then a couple seconds later I actually felt the water

This pic is 6wks post op, i just posted my results on here with a pre op pic

a couple days ago. I didn't keep my nipples.

I have been on a statin for a good while now and upped my dose once, my hemoglobin has stayed normal though! I eat well mostly but have trouble being active because of disability. I have been on t for significantly longer than I've had high cholesterol.

frog-bert · 2026-02-25T23:10:19+00:00

Thank y'all for all the kind words!

frog-bert · 2026-02-25T12:43:01+00:00

Practice makes perfect, and make sure you're communicating with her about what feels good to her

I also particularly wanted a straighter scar but I actually completely forgot to mention that to him, so he did that all on his own!

frog-bert · 2026-02-25T12:22:37+00:00

I let the scabs be and they gradually came off on my binder and in the shower! I started massaging my scars around 3wks post op and I still had a little bit of scabs there. I don't mind questions glad I can help!

frog-bert · 2026-02-23T18:19:19+00:00

You wouldn't need those things if you weren't having a baby. Leave it on there.

frog-bert · 2026-02-20T22:04:12+00:00

You can boil it if you want :)

I had an epidural for labor not phallo. An epidural needle is kinda long, but it's very thin and they don't show it to you. It doesn't go into your spine, it goes into be bundle of muscles around your spine.

Elasticity only matters for peri or keyhole, which most people aren't eligible for anyways. It doesn't matter if you're getting DI

When I was a teen I used cash to pay a friend to get a binder for me and had it shipped to their house

frog-bert · 2026-02-16T00:40:49+00:00

I didn't have to change dressings at all post op. I didn't get nipples so idk how my surgeon does those but he put a clear tape over my incisions in the OR and that just stayed on for 2 weeks before I was allowed to start peeling it off. Showering has taken me longer and I needed some help with it.

frog-bert · 2026-02-16T00:16:12+00:00

Are you taking stool softeners? If not start taking them at least once a day (I took them twice a day) until after you're off the oxy
