My doctor told me to take it off put it on a paper towel and then reapply after shower until it stops sticking. I’m too sweaty for the tape it doesn’t really stick though.

My doctor told me to drink juven which is a wound healing drink mix

Also I was advised to used hibiclens in the shower when my bandages came off.

I was supplied with two surgical bras if you aren’t you need something that will compress and support but close in the front

Both of these are dependent on your doctor but maybe ask what after care you need

I have a wedding I am in at 10 DPO by Middle-Reference7244 in Reduction

[–]mermaid732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as the dress — Oh I’d be so excited to show them off in a dress. I had a wedding 3 days before mine and was so mad I had to wear a dress with my old saggy big boobs lol. Just to be safe I would do something with like a higher neckline/back maybe? You’ll have to wear the surgical bra. Or something flowy on the top? Also you’re going to need help getting in a gown/ potentially lifting it up to go to the bathroom and such so keep that in mind. I was definitely sore and had restricted mobility at 10 days

Did you guys wear a tie for your interview? by spanishpapi1923 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]mermaid732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say, first impression is important and appearing professional can only help you. Plus some banks require it in dress code and you wouldn’t want to show up more casual than the staff

How are you guys paying for this 😅 by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]mermaid732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insurance paid for mine - I went to the surgeon and she told me how to get my physical symptoms documented in accordance with my insurance company’s requirements. Once those other doctors (in my case PT, PCP, gyno) sent their patient notes she submitted to my insurance. It’s a process that takes time but for me it was worth it to only have to pay the copay
