Please help! I need to know of any vitamins or anything I can do to make this heal faster. I'm 8 weeks post op today. And I can't swim I can't lift I can't do anything with my kids because of these huge tears in my breast. Started at 3 weeks. And just got worse and worse. Help me with any suggestions. I am now in care of VON who change my dressings every few days.
I was due for a breast reduction/lift on December 19th, but the day before I was able to go in for surgery, the surgeon called saying that my hematocrit/hemoglobin was too low (35% and 8.0 or so, respectively). I am now scheduled for February 14th and have been taking two iron pills a day and 5 other multivitamins (Vitamin C, B-12, biotin, etc.) How long will it take for my hematocrit/hemoglobin to go to acceptable levels by my surgery date?
I am 31 years old and had been pretty consistent in breast size. I noticed earlier this year that my breasts have started to enlarge. I have gone from a 32DD to a 32/34H. Could it be exercise, vitamins, medications, etc. that could be enlarging my breasts or another reason. Most doctor tend to say I am off my rocker when I say I feel that magnesium is causing an increase, although I do not think it is the only thing.
Hi there, I should explain more: My Breast Reduction surgery is in 25 days. Very short ' get myself healthy' before major surgery. For a healthy person maybe. But I Smoke Cigarettes,marijuana,eat poorly if at all. Already suffer from depression and am off my medication (Seriquil) so I could loose the weight suggested before surgery. (all approved by my PCP). I have gone from 200lbs down to 170lbs. I smoke E-cigarette, 0 nicotine for about a month (lil cheats Diet poor,no vitimans do i need ?
I'd like to know if there are any foods to eat or avoid to help with recovery after surgery. Any supplements/vitamins/ointments/gels/scar strips, that help with healing and also the scarring. Any thing to eat or take to prepare my body beforehand. I'm supposed to have my surgery in January 2015
