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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
