Surgery check in time is 630am tomorrow, I'm packed, showered, shaved (story I read here about showing up to surgery with hairy legs n pits really stuck in my mind), anti nausea patch in place, biggest looser picture taken aka:sports bra & bike shorts, & bags packed. Not nervous anymore, now my focus is on being all layed out on the table in front of strangers with my belly all exposed. No one has seen my arms since the mid 90's let alone my belly!!! Knock me out and get this done!!!!

They tape your girls back out of the way or in my case off the floor lol

Jajaja I believe mines too.

Hahahaha this hilarious!

Surgery was great but while in the pre op I passed out(embarrassing). I have no pain at all in the abdominal area. The gas pain is wicked at times but walking & heat pad do the trick! I sleep soooo much!!

So glad you checked in!! You passed out? Before they put you out!! Hehe you could of saved on the anesthesia costs

Yes walk walk and then walk again!

I tried on a bathing suit and you might as well just put two pancakes in the top. I looked horrid!

Lol

I know the feeling.

Glad to hear your walking! Keep it up

Sounds like you are doing well with recovery! Congrats!!!!

I'm actually looking forward to smaller boobs!!!! I hope it means I can golf! Big tatas = no ability to swing! My girlfriends are asking me to save my extra boobs for them. Poor girls, they have no idea how heavy these melons really are!

I love this forum.

A conversation that goes from full body shaves to boobs!

Where else can you get that??

In was thinking the same thing!!

So to summarise this thread - it's good to shave your armpits because thats where you'll probably find your boobs.

Thinking ill need a whole body wax now just to make sure...

Day 2 and I am home....no more gas pain in breast and shoulder but a few times an hour I get a sharp pain that only last a few seconds. Happens mostly when i drink, not used to little sips yet! My stomach feels "tight" but I am so happy about no other pain. Puget sound surgery is fantastic! Everyone is really nice. Dr Landerholm is great. The easy part is over....ready to start my new life

Glad you are home and well. Take it easy and heal your body ... The next 6 weeks are all about healing from major surgery!

Sip sip sip and walk

Is the sharp pain normal? Its right in between my breasts. Could the gas have moved from left breast to middle of chest? It happens a few times an hour and only last a second or two. Any one else know about or experienced this

Hey pammy I would call my on call number at my surgeons office or the hospital number.

I would definitely inquire about sharp chest pain in the center.

Could be gas and may be normal but I'd feel better and I know you would if you called.

Please call now and give us an update

I asked before i was discharged and she said it probably everything waking up or me drinking to fast. I will call tomorrow if its still happening.

Drinking can hurt going down the first week or so. Could also be gas or acid. There are so many fun mystery pains that first couple of weeks I lost count!! But Lisa is right when in doubt call the doc
