Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey

Sorry about your scheduling conflict...that really sucks. I just wanted to share with you that I did have a breast reduction about 10 years ago. It was the best thing I could have ever done. I love the results. And yes, I may get smaller as I lose weight, but it's a choice I could live with.

A full C cup is still pretty big. You said one of your breasts hangs lower, the surgery will certainly correct that (if it bothers you). You LOOK FANTASTIC now. I know you may not have your surgery for another year, but the results will be worth it. Please let us know how it's going.

Best of luck...

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I want to stop my pity party now... ;) I am hoping they will have a cancelation but maybe the universe is trying to tell me it is not the right time.

Thanks again to all of you, this is hard and to have support really helps!

Hey Boo Boo,

You are a beautiful person!!! You were the first one to jump out to me on this website when I needed desperately someone to encourage me. Please don't be upset with waiting, the time will come when it is right.

;) Well all, here is my sad and heartbreaking update...

DUE to a screw up at the schedualing office of the U of M, I will NOT be having surgery this year, in fact if I do not have it this December I will not be having it until this time next year. I can't take time off any other time...

I have been crying all day, I am furious, heartbroken and defeated. I need this for me. I hate me, I see this fat, blubbery stomach and I hate me. I needed this to make me feel better, and welll it just ain't gonna happen now....

:think

Oh, Brandy! I am so sorry! I know you had your heart set on the PS. Huge ((hugs)) for the beautiful lady.

I'm so, so sorry. That's just a bummer plain and simple. Hang in there. Your body is fabulous just as it is and you'll enjoy it just as it is until you can get rescheduled.

Hey all! Just an update and I am going to the PS in the morning. I am going to bitch at them for this screw up and get schedualed. They did tell me that the girl was fired and she had messed up lots of other people's surgeries as well. Great, I wasn't the only one messed up!

I am going to make sure he can make me a D, if not I am not getting surgery from him. My insurance told me to get a 2nd opinion if he can't agree to it. I am a FF, there is no reason to take me to a C.

WTG Kitty, I'm very happy for you. I wanted a large C or small D, I'm still a DD :unsure:, though I'm hoping there is still swelling. I can tell a difference, that is one good thing.

Good Luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
