I have 3, 1 from the hospital and 2 I bought. They are called abdominal wraps, 3 tier. They have to be hand washed and hang dried. I found mine on Ebay 2 for $25 for good ones.

I got my band for Portion Control. I still can eat and drink most anything and I've maintained and lost weight doing it!

I can't gulp liquid but i can drink it at a good pace. The only thing I have to sip us soda and beer

I had the lower profile port and I honestly don't see a difference this one sticks out too

I have noticed through all my Ops that pain in the skin alone is negligible - The worst op was inner thighs - Arms and boobs was a breeze

Skiddles, we are having plastic surgery on the same day !!! Mine is next Tuesday also! The 24th.. I hope everything goes well for you and you have a speedy recovery!!

I had breast reduction on 2007. I was a very dense K cup and went to a DD (wanted smaller but that would have impeded blood flow). I had anchor cut. The recovery wasn't bad. Couldn't lift arms for a few days, couldn't lift stuff for a week or two. Not a great deal of pain, didn't take any pain meds - didn't for sleeve either after being released from hospital.
I would be willing to go through much more pain and recovery for the change it made. It was a very good choice for me.
Best of luck.

I had breast reduction in April 2010 - No pain (had brachioplasty at same time no pain there either) Love love love the results :-)
Before =

Not Long After = Maybe a week or so - Still in dressings so can't be long after...

Hope that helps some

Hi skiddles,
How are you? I know you are enjoying your beautiful new body. And now you are having a breast reduction. That is wonderful. My breast lift/reduction had been life changing. I had my surgery last year.
Before: My breast were hanging skin with nipples. No fat tissue. No shape. Nothing.
After: My breast became beautiful round and soft again. Perky. I had the T cut, but the scars has almost disappeared. After surgery, for me there was no pain, nor was there any swelling. I do remember them being tender to touch for about 4-5 months. Due to blood flow, the breast takes a while to heal, so be patience and I am sure your results will come out marvelous.

I love the way my breast lift turned out without implants. Beautiful and natural! I am sure y'all will agree my 32C is much better and beautiful than what I had before.

Not too much pain, I'm getting alittle better moving around. Mostly tendor. He remove 10 pds of fat! Trying not to babble.

I feel 100% Ready for my boob job!

I'm so happy for u! I have to wait till I get my thighs done to get into a smaller size.

They go off what I say. But I never get more than .4 at a time cause I know that it takes a couple of days to take effect. That comes from experience of trial and error. I only go twice a year to get a fill.

I would say its a steady drinking more than sipping and not gulping. As if your taking pills.

NO NO NEVER gulp! If I was to gulp it would have come back just as fast. I sit up and take slow drinks, when its starts not flowing smoothly, she backs off. With me I get a little less 'cause I have a tendancy to swell a little after a couple of days.

I have to drink Water when I get a fill, it tells them how much Fluid to put in. If the water gets hard to go down it's too tight, if it flows too fast, you need more.

In the next couple of months I go in for my lift and reduction. I'm ready. Doc says I need 2 weeks off from work. Not sure when I can get that much time off again. Like to go back in a week. Since I got the LBL my back hurts worse than ever! I'm a DDD now like to go to a D or C

CBT- I too am always hungry and have been over eating. My band helps to the amount but I seem to be eating constantly. My DR. said My body needs the extra calories to help with healing.

For easy chewing grilled steak - ribeye is the best choice.

I have a hard time with rice too. Since I can't eat too much, I can afford to get the best ground sirloin, and I divide and freeze it into my little servings. When they make burgers, they laugh at my tiny burger, I wrap it up with all the burger fixins in a crispy leaf of lettuce, and eat it like a sandwich!

Got my preliminary hospital bill Fri. $54,000 I wonder if they jack up the bill because you have ins. I haven't got the PS bill or the Anesthesiologist bill!
