i paid 8,000 for the surgery in the hospital/surgeon, anesthesiologist. and $300 for preop and f/u care and fills for 6 months. this is in a manhattan hospital.
fills are painless however they do insert a needle into the port site which to me just felt like accupuncture. some drs use a numbing spray before but you dont need it. after my dr told me to drink a glass of water too make sure its not too tight. you just feel a delay until all the water goes down
im 6 days post op and when i wear my wire bra i feel like its makes me feel like i overate even though i didnt eat for hours. its like its pushing the band smaller . maybe thats why i lost 11lbs in 6 days. my skirts, pants are also so tight even though i lost all this weight. i sleep at night with a huge t shirt on only and i feel so much better
i missed 2 days from college. took a 700 question exam 4 days after and im returning to work (im a registered nurse)8 days after. ill letu know if that goes well im a little nervous and im not telling anyone at work about my surgery. ill have to say i got a stomach virus cuz i lost 11 lbs in 6 days
