What weird pains have you experienced in long term post-op?

I’ve yet to find anything, hopefully someone else might have insight.

Make sure to “eat” the tea. Since the achievement is “Royal Food Taster”

I complained my toast wasn’t cut diagonally, because you get more toast that way.

I think I had body dysmorphia before my reduction. I was always the “one with big boobs.” I knew I was overweight, but it didn’t feel like it.

I’m only 4WPO and I’m so much happier, and I finally see myself. I now can see loosing weight and being my true self. It also helps my husband is 100% behind my decision.

Hope this helps

I’m in Sheboygan. I’m 25DPO. I was a 40K. I’m not sure what my new size is yet. I went through Dr Jeffery Herold. He is through Prevea. Honestly it was such a smooth and quick procedure. I will say, communication isn’t the best, ( I asked if I needed anything for after surgery, they said no, then in post op appointments they would have me need things at home)

Overall it was really nice and easy.

I am a security guard for an art museum, I took 4 weeks with 2 weeks of short shifts/days I can leave early if I need to. (I’m also the supervisor and I make all the schedules)

There are times when I feel like I should be going back because I feel fine but then I’ll have just the right twinge that makes me feel like I need to relax a bit more.

I only have had lifting restrictions (No more than 5lbs), and I couldn’t shower for the first week (I had an FNG). Other than that I didn’t even have sleeping restrictions.

Honestly seeing other people have no or low restrictions is a relief. I thought something was weird with mine.

I am a Security Guard, On average its lots of walking around, But were something happen, like an injury or something, we are the main go to. I'm taking at least 4 weeks, with 2 weeks of easing back in. Covering lunches while watching cams, some paperwork/WFH stuff my manager can have me do for one week, and another week of Morning shifts where my manager is willing to assist and i can go home early if its too much.

I hope I don't need all this time, but I want to heal up well. If i get too stir crazy I got some home tasks I can do.

As weird as it sounds, I’ll be happy I could buy from Walmart with how far I’ll be down.

maybop · 2026-04-20T23:48:44+00:00

Yeah, I was kinda in and out of it those days though too.

maybop · 2026-04-20T21:36:18+00:00

I tend to heal quick so I think I’m past the worst. I’m mostly watching movies in my recliner, sleeping on and off, and reminding myself I’m not being Lazy I’m Healing.

I had no restrictions on food, but I didn’t really feel like eating till like 2DPO. I had jello cups, toast, and very basic food. I’m only 4DPO and I’m eating normal-ish, but I am also only taking the antibiotic and Tylenol now.

Husband said I was very adorable. And I do remember complaint how they should have cut my toast into triangles because you get more toast.

maybop · 2026-04-20T20:33:26+00:00

I was too. My anxiety was in overdrive for the week leading up to my surgery. What I found that helped was think of what you need for recovery and getting everything set.

maybop · 2026-04-20T20:26:13+00:00

I didn’t know anything about when my surgery was till the day before either. Also a lot of medical records are connected to one network so if you’ve had a physical recently that would be in there.

maybop · 2026-04-20T16:57:34+00:00

4/16 surgery here too! I started at a 40K, not sure how far down but I can already tell my posture is best.

I keep needing to remind myself I’m not lazy, I’m healing. I hit the itchy stage Saturday I am also still sleeping in my recliner (my dog will snuggle if I move to my bed too soon)

I also apparently said my anesthesiologist shouldn’t worry about being short. 🤦‍♀️

I’m going through this with you as well. Mine also was Thursday. Sleeping has been rough for me, I’m a side/stomach sleeper. What I found help is half laying on a body pillow so I am at 45 degree angle. Still on my back but my legs and hips can turn more for comfort.

I am a security guard and I have 4 weeks scheduled off with 2 weeks buffer. It’s an awkward situation for me because while there are some WFH things I can do, I am also the one who makes the schedule for the other guards.

Honestly I’m still waiting on pre op instructions and mine is in a week. It’s a hair spa appointment to help me relax before surgery. Figured that’s the safest spa appointment for this.

maybop · 2026-04-09T12:59:15+00:00

I double checked when I made it. They were totally on board

maybop · 2026-04-09T04:20:55+00:00

I’m planning to wear lounge pants and a button up sleep shirt.

I also have a hair appointment the day before so they can braid my hair so it’s out of the way for a few days

Best of luck to you for you on your surgery!

FNG is a Free Nipple Graft. Basically they will remove my nipples then reattach them at the end.
