Boobs during surgery



Recommended Posts

Hehehe I love it! So I am a surgical nurse and you will notice that when you lie flat on the bed our breast will kinda roll out instead of down, and the highest incision they would make for an abdominal surgery would still have to be under the rib cage. Also the drapes help consolidate the area. I have not had to tape anyones breasts back yet (altough this is probaby what we would do) but there is a first time for everything I suppose!

Speaking of catheters ....when I woke up and took my first trip to the restroom I was bleeding...so I called my nurse and told her that my catheter was causing me to bleed...her response: "you didn't have a catheter placed!" lol the bleeding was actually caused from the incision above my belly button..it hade slight reopened and the blood kinds leaked down to my lady parts lol!!!! Moral of story(if there is one lol) Not all surgeons require catheters

I didn't have a catheter until after surgery . I only got one because all the anti nausea meds and anaesthesia made my bladder lazy and I could not go for hours.

I could not stop laughing. Why is it that the valid serious questions can be the funniest? I would have never even thought about it but now that you say it, despite it being funny, it is a fact.

What do they do to keep our boobs out of the way?

Because i am sorry but us big girls got some "big girls" lol...

Maybe I will ask my doc when I go in for surgery next month..lol

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
