@pumpkinlocks

sadly, it wasn't allowed past security

That's because the only plumbing they wanted to fix was yours not the sinks.?

Hahahaha good one

I’m also 7/30

My surgery is Tuesday and I haven’t packed yet... ???

I think I’m bringing: some comfy clothes, phone charger, phone, deodorant, dry shampoo, a fresh nose ring to shove in, chapstick, and maybe a hair band?

I’m only going to be in for ~2 days. Also, I only live about 9ish blocks from the hospital so I’m sure my partner or mother can bring me other stuff if I feel like I will die without it.

Ahhh yes! I’m not worried about taking the ring out... but I am worried about putting it back in after! The last time I changed nose jewelry, it was a painful, frustrating, 3 hour ordeal.

I’m also nervous about the hole closing up, because getting it pierced was so stupid painful that I’m not sure I could put myself through it again if it closed up! ?

@insta adventurer I gave your post a laughing emjoi for a good reason. You reminded me I'll have my earrings out. I am triple pierced to honor my 3 children( 2 still living) I normally don't remove them, have the child- locking backs on them so I don't have to remove them for Sleep or even shampooing my hair. In case I forget, I had better put a medicine. bottle with a locking top to put them into. And like you, even though I have had them for years it can be a BEAR to put them back in. And if they bloat me. with fluids and gas my earlobes might pudgyfy. Ah Pfooey something else trivial for me to stew about! ?smiles and❤Love to you!!

Ahhh yes! Hopefully my tiny nose doesn’t bloat. I plan on bringing a little mirror in and some pliers so I can get that sucker back in ASAP.

I don’t understand why they will let me keep my wedding band on, but not a nose ring? A bit ridiculous if you ask me!

Me too 7/30 here!

Exciting Days ahead! I'M up for it, are YOU????

10 months out and I cannot live without a form of GAS X!!!!! Target brand is only 2.50$ a box instead of 8-10$ I was in the hospital for 2 nights from not being able to move and so much pain... I sadly didn’t pack much. Lip balm, socks, lotion. Anything else I was in too much pain to notice...

and forget a bra of any kind... too much pain to deal with anything snug at all. Free the nipples. Baggy clothes. Make sure your surgeon gives you a compression belt for your belly. I took mine off after 3 days though. Felt better after
