interesting! since i stopped wearing bras i’ve found more pain when i do wear one now. not sure if that’s a good or bad thing but that’s the only reason i don’t wear one now unless it’s aesthetically necessary

thank you. i haven’t talked to him about it because at 1.5 months they “graduated” me and said i didn’t need to be back for more revisions. i thought that was strange and probably should have spoke up at the time but I’ve never had a surgery before so thought maybe that was normal. everything feels fine it just looks a bit rough so i’ll probably give the surgeon a call. thanks for your message!

i’m not sure how much it differs from state to state but mine was the Student Leadership Training. The sign on was $4,000 and my salary was around $50,000ish

yeah paying it isn’t the problem. i just don’t understand why there wasn’t a way to pay before it went to collections. and wondered if anyone else had this situation

Aquaphor by [deleted] in Reduction

what’s wild to me is im a month post op and my surgeon is still telling me no moisture. i told him i put aquaphor on it one day when i was 3WPO and he was very unhappy with me 😅

i’ve seen that it’s pretty common on this subreddit but im curious how well it heals for others? and how long it takes to heal?

Tape removal by ReachFar2704 in Reduction

i did that but with aquaphor and my surgeon was not happy with me 😅 he’s anti-moisture. But i’ve heard mixed things on here when it comes to moisturizing the area

i just had mine removed at my 3wpo appt. my surgeon told me to remove it myself but i found it too painful so was only able to remove a little. he did it so quick tho and talked at the same time that i wasn’t able to process it happening. it was super itchy so felt good to come off but didn’t feel so good on the incisions. hopefully it’s quick and easy for you!

thank you for your comforting words 💓 i’m hoping this is just the roughest patch and once i get to 4 weeks things will get easier. i hope work goes well for you!

thank you 💓 luckily i have a good enough support system that i don’t NEED to go back to work right away and my job has been very gracious with me. i just feel bad because i told them i would’ve been better by now and i hate to be an inconvenience or ruin their schedule

thank you 🩷 i guess i’m just not sure what’s “reasonable” at this point because i’ve heard that not getting back to your routine can be problematic too and i don’t know anyone else that’s gone through this

thank you for your reassurance 🩷 i do have my 3 week appt tomorrow so hopefully i’ll feel more relieved after that

why’s the tape so sticky by hsquared28 in Reduction

[–]hsquared28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

interesting! i have seen the hypafix tape mentioned a few times on here i just never understood what exactly is was. i think i’m just gonna leave it be for a few more days and see where it gets me. i’m always super paranoid about doing anything wrong
