My plastic surgeon says it can take 1yr to completely heal on most plastic surgery

Only regret, not doing surgery 15 yrs ago

I use Palmers, scar oil . Sold at walmart.

Continue trying appeal at least twice

Congrats Sherri, well done. I can tell you one thing, insurance has changed incredibly since I began my weight loss journey. I had a reduction and lift 10 mos. ago for breasts. Process was to find a plastic surgeon in my network, make an appt. go see, I know your problems are the same that most all of us have had. My surgeon had a form to check off everything, and it really was just about everything we have going on which I call 'the issue with the extra tissue'. Next step was my primary sent one page from two years ago that showed I had gone to see him and in that visit had X problem and he had noted 'plastic surgeon?' Sent that to the plastic surgeon who submitted photos, my form I filled out. They were so confident it was covered, they booked the surgery date my first visit. So they submitted the paperwork, images and surgery date for authorization, approved in I want to say less than 2 weeks. I have Humana.i had my breast reduction on May 12th ,6 days ago i went for follow up today dr says looks great & will remove stitches next Tuesday. Minimal pain but some is expected i know ,its all worth the pain & will only last temporarily. .

I have been using Nursing pads (NUK) large, inside my bra for incision drainage they are working great so far.

I also have gained 9lbs since breast reduction last Tuesday but i believe its mostly fluids &pain meds causing constipation & lack of exercise im thinking positive

Anyone having breast reduction /lift i have found that large nursing pads we ork wondersinside surgical bra &nipple areas ,i bought (NUK )brand gor $6 at walmart get the (large ) they cover lots more plus i lined inner perimeter where incision was madekeeps from becoming irritation/itching.

No im not married to my DR. goodnuff,but its helped with cramps in the past.

Palmers, scar/stretch make oil sold @walmart, walgreens.has worked well for me.

Weight training & more protein an extra 20 grams per day help tremendously fellas..

Ive tried Dark Chocolate (sugar free ),when away from home & my dr suggested running vacuum cleaner says pushing / pulling helps ease cramps but everyone is different.

Yes generally thsts what their gor but i also went tu o f ollar general &purchased $ome camisole/bra type compression tops w / out wires for only $10 each & like them much better

Dr Bruce Shack @ Vanderbilt Plastic surgery 615-322-2350.he just done my breast reduction yesterday &i feel very little pain,awesome job he done..going back for more work in December.

Checkout amaxon i found a few nice pieces there, very reasonable prices.

i found NECTAR brand & love the No Grit .

Thanks,i feel like i lost another 50lbs gone but only a breast reduction. Im in Heave! !!

Im home from reduction surgery (yesterday ) got home late, anesthesia has wotn off now experienceing some pain but jot very bad ,ive only taken pain medication 3 times since yesterday which is great. I should have done this yrs ago,it feels like 50lbs off my chest no more shoulder pain i noticed that immediately

In 24hrs these DDD will be gone , im getiing a small B cup &im soo excited i dont know what to do with myself except prepare things at waist level to prevent reaching/bending .

Nectar brands are awesome, no grit either.

I atill haven't been shopping for new clothes yet its been almost 2yrs & i had clothes from size 8-22 which was my largest size ever, so nowim gonna wait just til July & thats my 2yr anniversary for wls then gonna shop. Im also getting a Breast reduction next Tuesday so might as well wait until healed completely.

Shave & keep minimal crotch hair & i use powder alaways, Vagisil makes a excellent powder,i also go commando because panties hold odors..some may find yhis TMI but its true.

Great job.
