RE: itching and soreness

Benadryl is your friend (especially at night).

Ice packs too.

Yes! The Tylenol pm has Benadryl in it 😍

You look amazing! What size boobs did you end up with? I ask because I will probably get a lift when I do TT. But of course this will probably be next year for that.

I couldn’t see the faja image for some reason..

I already started using silicone scar tape and will care for it diligently.

First off, you look amazing! Just a comment to say that I love having the silicone tape on my arms. I feel like the incisions are well protected. And I barely even feel that the tape is even on. Just replaced the first set (?) tonight, after wearing for a week. It was still working fine but I just felt like it was time to change it. Just cuz.

2 weeks+ update:

Still very swollen from the TT, but I'm being super patient because I'm super satisfied with the breast lift outcome.

From everything I'm reading and looking at on the internet, after 3-4 months your true results will show because most of the swelling should subside.

My faja is far too tight most days to put on so I'm mostly using other compression garments and the binder. I wore the faja out the other day and its fine for standing etc but nothing else. I want it off ASAP. But I think its because my swelling levels fluctuate.

Weight is also fluctuating up and down depending on swelling, yesterday I was 155lbs and today 151lbs

I've been off all pain meds for quite a while but last night I was so sore and itchy that I needed a Tylenol PM. I believe the itching is the regeneration of... fascia? nerves? whatever. Its hella annoying 😞

I have an area where I prematurely broke my stitches on the side and I can tell I'm going to need to work hard to have that scar disappear but I already started using silicone scar tape and will care for it diligently. Anyone have tips send them my way!

I now have strong sensation on both nipples, hooray! I'm thoroughly enjoying the shape and size of the new breast ❤

Blurry pics attached 😂

I bought a roll of a medipride single use type to test my skin's reaction. So far so good.

But Next I plan getting a reusable (strips) type

What type are you using?
CircaTape. It's what my Dr recommended, and I think someone else here on BP did too but I can't remember who that was.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
