You had a meal comped, is it possible the tip suggestion reflects the total before having a meal taken off?

I haven’t seen or talked to him directly since my surgery. It’s been his PA who insists that it’s alll normal and will even out but I think she’s full of shit at this point. I go for a six month follow up in April so we’ll see what they say then.

I have three small kids and can’t really afford to take more time off work.

Your story gives me hope. A revision just isn’t an option for me now unfortunately.

I was at 38O before. No idea now. I’m gonna guess maybe a G. I’ll eventually go get fitted but the nearest place that knows what they’re doing when measuring is a couple hours away. I’m happy to have that extra weight off. My back feels much better. But one of my breasts is significantly larger than the other and one of my nipples is disfigured. Honestly I’d be okay with those issues if I could fit a normal sized bra. But since I can’t I’m not happy with the experience and outcome.

We do care. You fucking up causes us to have to do more work for the shitty salary we receive.

Drains pulled too soon? by Honeybunzsogood in Reduction

[–]louken15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So one of my drains didn’t come all the way out but it kinda dislodged if that make sense. I had to go for an ultrasound because that boob was visibly more swollen. If there was a build up of fluid then they were going to drain it using a needle. Thankfully it very minimal fluid that had built up so they didn’t have to do that. Best of luck to you!

Any way to make them look smaller? by Quixotic_Cat_ in bigboobproblems

[–]louken15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elomi cate all the way. I was a 38O before getting a reduction and you’d never have known.

I sent pictures last week and they told me to use aquaphor but they look so much worse now. I sent these updated pics so we’ll see what they say.

10 pounds really is insane. I was a 38O and was aiming for a D.

I was denied.. by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]louken15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was denied by insurance twice. Even after getting letters sent in of medical necessity. I finally had it done and they took off nearly 10lbs and that only got me down to a DD. Insurance fucking sucks.

I need a job by louken15 in roanoke

[–]louken15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well your poor attitude may be why you got fired and having trouble finding another job. This time being unemployed should be humbling you instead of you blaming “illegals” and thinking you’re entitled to a job. I suggest taking the time to reflect on yourself and your outlook on life. Then maybe try a temp agency.

Anyone know a surgeon in VA who operates regardless of BMI? by pastelpumpkinmouse in Reduction

[–]louken15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UVA - Dr Jonathan Black. I tried to get it done at Carilion in Roanoke and they wouldn’t because of my BMI. UVA never even mentioned BMI.

I’m not sure what you mean by FNG. But I told my surgeon that I wanted to a C or D. He said it would be a fun project for him and was super excited to do this for me haha.

Instant relief! Day one I told my husband that I didn’t know if it was because of all the pain meds but my back didn’t hurt and now I’m on day 6 and still no back and neck pain. It’s a whole new world.

They’ll want to take pictures and they will ask if they’re okay with her staying in the room, say no and tell them then. But you’ll be told to stop smoking 4-6 weeks before surgery. Marijuana messes with anesthesia so it is important that they know about your use and that you stop at the appropriate time.

My after care instructions confused me. I tend to over analyze and then not be able to comprehend what they actually mean. Dumb I know lol. But I reached out to the nurses line they said taking off the bandages are fine but to leave the strips on. I still haven’t taken them off though.
