Surgery Day! and beyond: Part 2

  • Popular Post

Today is the day! Leaving at 5am for a 6am arrival. Surgery scheduled at 7:30! I am the first and only patient of his of the day. I'll post frequent updates and all post-op everything here! I have my recliner bed all set up, my Percocet, Keflex, and Celebrex near the "bed". I have given the cats a stern warning about jumping on me. I've done all I can. Wish me luck!

Okay so I’ve got a question:

Does anybody know what surgeons say about breast cancer survivors and brachioplasty?

I’ve never had lymphedema and would hate for that to happen.

gore warning? for those who asked....

stomach on the right, arms on the left. lol.Screenshot_20191122-120656_Gallery.jpeg

My surgeon does not do abs and thighs and butt at the same time because it is a lot of stress on the body. Fun fact: the doctors on Botched don't do butt and abs at the same time either because you can either lay on your back or stomach... not both. lmao. That was Dr. Dubrow's explanation.

Unrelated - the surgical center just charged me FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for use of their facilities when my estimate was 3700$ and prepaid. LOL. I am going to go postal on someone. It took me a YEAR to fix the error they made with my gallbladder bill. Looks like I have another saga....
I totally watched that episode a few days ago!!! Lol!! With the British girl that was hilarious and won't laugh at Dubrow's jokes!! Lol

Isn't it amazing just how much the skin stretches? Congrats again and you look FAB. I need to get my belly done but figured I would stabilize somewhere and then look into it. Too bad insurance doesn't cover it.

Oh my. Wasn't prepared for that.

What are the two little dark nuggets between the stomach pieces and the arm pieces?

My insurance would have covered it if I waited another 6 months but I am impatient and the doctor I wanted didn't take insurance for tummy tucks so whateva.
