Benjamin Norris, MbCHb, FRACS(Plast)

stilk in hospital after my surgery and am so happy that I chose Dr Norris. He has been extremely caring, helpful and extremely polite. A very professional doctor with excellent bed side manner. So Far shown he cares about me as a patient and the results he can achieve for me. From the first consult I was extremely happy with his kindness and willingness to help.

I've wanted a BA for nearly 20 years and finally decided to do it this year, rather than going on an overseas holiday.

I initially saw 3 plastic surgeons - 2 in Sydney and 1 in Melbourne. I decided to go with Dr Benjamin Norris who was the first PS I saw. There was no doubt in my mind that he was the right PS for me - he instantly put me at ease, spent a long time chatting with my husband and I about options and what I wanted. He sent me home with a 380cc implant and said to take my time in making a decision - there was no pressure to make a decision there and then.

While in Sydney I also saw a well-known PS. Unfortunately I just felt like a number and was very disappointed by the lack of choice/discussion as well as the personalisation - my husband and I were ushered out after just 15 minutes. He recommended 415cc tear drop under the muscle.

After returning to Melbourne I decided to see one more PS closer to home. While he spent quite some time with me, I didn't feel at ease and was disappointed that he wanted to go very conservative at 250-275cc round, on top of the muscle.

Three very different options from three plastic surgeons and I was very confused. I waited a few weeks and then booked in with Dr Norris.

Updated on 21 Oct 2016:
On the day of surgery we arrived bright and early. I was very nervous and stressed about the whole thing. My blood pressure was through the roof and they let my husband stay with me until I went into surgery.

Dr Norris came to see me and instantly made me feel at ease and calmer about the whole thing. We chatted about what size I'd decided to go with - he'd recommended either 380 or 415cc. I told him I was erring on the 415 but was unsure as I wanted whatever looked best on me. In the end I told him I trusted his judgement and to do whatever he thought suited my body shape - I didn't want to go over the top at my age but also didn't want to regret going to small. My daughter had hers done last year (465cc) and I kept hearing her say I would regret going too small.

From there the anaesthetist and the anaesthetists assistant came to see me and they too were fantastic - very easy going and happy to chat to us and answer any questions we had. They said not to stress about my blood pressure and that they would give me something to bring it down prior to surgery.

The next thing I know I was wheeled off to surgery - talking one minute and then out to it, then waking up to my husband sitting next to me.

In terms of the pain I felt pretty good. The anaesthetic made me feel sick so they gave me something to settle my tummy. Once we got the all clear we were on our way back to the motel.

That night I slept ok, medication worked well for the pain and my husband was fantastic making sure I had everything I needed. I never actually looked at my breasts until the next day. I was fairly bruised and they were as hard as rocks - the right one felt pretty good but the left one was fairly sore.

I found the strap really painful and alternated between bras for comfort. My PS recommends the Berlei sports bra which was great but at times it felt like the seams were rubbing on my nipples and hurt so I swapped between that and a compression bra.

The next few days were tiring and painful - we went for walks and I slept a fair bit. My follow up was 4 days post op - all was going well and we were given the ok to go home...at this stage I should mention we were driving home to Melbourne from Sydney :o( my husband hates flying and convinced me driving would be ok - it was horrendous and I truly believe it set my recovery back a few days. I was in that much pain we had to stop over in a motel that night - I hardly slept as I couldn't get comfortable and was in a lot of pain. We eventually got home and I was happy to be in my own bed.

All up I had 2 weeks off work - it was pretty up and down as my left breast was pretty painful and I kept getting sharp pains. Spoke to my PS and he said it was pretty normal - nerves settling down etc which is what I thought it would be. I must admit by this stage I was starting to wonder why I had done it and figured I was perhaps getting too old for this sh!t.

Went back to work and was fairly out of it for the first week. I am a manager in a high-stress corporate organisation and I have to be on the ball all the time due to client deadlines. Luckily for me one of my team members knew about the surgery and knew I still wasn't well, so she helped me out which I am really grateful for.

It took a few weeks but the pain has now subsided and I am wrapped with how they look. My right one has dropped and is looking great - the left one is lagging behind a bit but I figure this will just take a bit longer as I had a lot more pain with that one.

I love going and trying on dresses and clothes knowing that I no longer have to buys clothes that I need to wear a bra with and I love the fact that I have thrown out all my size A push up bras! I'm now a DD and am wrapped with the outcome.

Dr Norris made me feel so at ease! His clinic is wonderful and he was able to achieve such amazing results (even though i'm only at day 1 post op!). Even though i was anxious at the beginning, i am glad i went with my gut instinct and went with him!

This is my review i posted on plasticsurgeryforum:

So i'm hoping this would help some girls with their decision making process if they have considered Dr Benjamin Norris as their surgeon. One of the most anxious moments of my decision making was that i could hardly find any reviews on Dr Norris online (and i stalked the entire internet!).

So first how did i come across him?

I actually saw advertised on facebook that he had a summer special - all inclusive $7990 breast augmentation and he is a plastic surgeon and uses general anaesthesia. He wasn't the first consult i had, i had previously booked with TCI (but pulled out due to my gut feeling and didnt like that they were pushy in my opinion), Cosmeditour Sydney with Dr Ahmed Rizk (Another PS but suggested i needed a nipple lift and anatomicals in dual plane to achieve the natural look i wanted) and a consult with the prestigious Dr Michael Miroshik. I didn't end up going with Cosmeditour because even though they had a special for a $5400 surgery when i called up and did an assessment via photos they surgeon said i definitely needed a periaeriolar (nipple) incision and lift and it would cost $9400 with anatomicals. Although i did have a consult with Dr M, it was on the expensive side and i wanted to have a few more opinions (and i didnt want to wait so long to save up for it!).

Consultation:

I put in an enquiry online about the breast augmentation and was so surprised when Dr Norris emailed back using his personal email to answer the questions i had that very same night. He forwarded me to his practice manager to set up a consult once i was happy with the information i had and i didnt mind another opinion ($200) if it meant i could save a few thousand off surgery (i was really considering Dr M or Dr Rizk that time).

The clinic is in Bondi and it was so beautiful and artfully decorated ! i felt at ease as soon as i walked in. Dr Norris was extremely professional and not pushy at all (which i loved!) and was really considerate. I was really adamant about getting anatomicals my entire life (especially since seeing Dr M's work and loving it) but after Dr Norris let me play with some implants and try them on (he even let me take one home to double check i would want it) i ended up going with High Profile Rounds. Im going to admit for the days leading up to my surgery i was really worried whether i made the wrong decision because my best friend (who is going with Dr Rizk in Feb) was getting anatomicals and i was concerned it would look "fake" but saving a $1000 was really alluring, especially if i could get similar results.

I had another consult with him the 3 days before my surgery and he reassured me that rounds would give me the upper pole that i wanted and would not look fake on me if i didnt go too big so i stuck with his advice. ''

Surgery day 18/01/16

I was the first person to be operated on at East Sydney Private Hospital that day (which was more like a hotel than a hospital) and honestly before i knew it i woke up and had boobs. Dr Norris did such a wonderful job, they do not look fake at all (pictures below) but are a bit high and swollen. Now that the anaesthesia has worn off, the pain is tolerable but i am quite sore and bruised :(

I got 365 HP rounds under the muscle and i'm at one day post op :)

Having a huge diastasis from 2 pregnancies, I needed to find a surgeon who could put me back together so I can further my running and feel more comfortable in my clothes. I was so upset every time someone asked me when was I due. I found Dr Norris and was more than happy to travel the distance for his help.

I would highly recommend Dr Norris. I was so nervous about having a breast enlargement. The results are amazing. I wanted natural looking breasts as I am quite tall and thin and I didn't want the Victoria Beckam look with a harsh ridge. Dr Norris created natural looking breasts that look amazing. Everyone comments about how natural and soft they feel and no one can tell they are not real. I highly recommend dr norris. He also listened to my needs and what I wanted and the staff are great too. Really professional. A beautiful office too. He is a very caring and lovely person who is genuine too.

I never liked my legs. I felt my legs were not firm. Plenty of muscles underneath all the wobbly fat! Never felt comfortable wearing shorts or swimming costume. I am getting married next year and i want to walk on the beach with my hubby and not feel self conscious. My partner loves every part of me, but whatever makes me happy he is happy for me to do what i want.

My arms? I have good muscle tone, but tuckshop arms won't go away (a term used in oz...canteen mums...wave bye bye and all the wobbles go with it. lol). And I work on them all the time. Been considering this operation for about 10 years. But haven't had the confidence to go ahead with it, especially my arms and the scar factor. But I have now definitely decided i want firm arms... it out weighs the scars, as i don't go sleevless in public.

I have just over 2 weeks to go before i go into surgery. Very nervous, I hope it is very safe, i want to be with my partner into old age, finally i have found a man who truly treats me like a princess. I am so happy. So watch this space as i will put before and after photos up. I think it is important for other women to see the outcome of such operations. I do find it hard to get to talk to many people out here who have been thru this. I have asked for many before and afters, but not always available.

Any tips, warnings or info before my op would be very appreciated. Be it good or bad.

Well, 4 days before my surgery i was bumped!!!!
I was last on the list for the day and my surgeon didn't want me to be waiting all day and then some.
plus 6 1/2 hours of surgery...neither did I to be honest.
This was my 3rd attempt to get this done, have been planning it since 2008/2009.
So I guess I just am not suppose to have it done, i believe I am guided, have always been.
Still, if I cannot improve my legs,arms with more workouts and changed of diet - I will try again next year.
I hope all you ladies out there and going well and are happy with your results.
Good luck

On the 1 Feb 2013 - I have done it finally!
I had my thigh lift and lipo done and I am so very happy. 10 days in hospital which was wonderful....here in Australia we can stay as long as we need to.
I had 94 staples from just under my hip following the crease to my groin and to the back of my leg and just at the start of under my buttock.
I didn't experience pain, just very uncomfortable to move and sit on the toilet due to the swelling and bruising. Had to shuffle for the the 1st week, cannot spread my legs for 3 weeks as i have sutures attached to my pelvic bone this is for the lift, if i pull these, my doctors good work will be undone.
It is now 13 days post op. Getting around well. Just stiff after sitting and just takes a bit to warm up to walking normal again.
I am just so happy with the results now and they are swollen, so it is going to be a good result once it has all settled down.
Didn't do my arms, glad I didn't as it was good to use my arms for strength to lift my legs of the bed and of course using the toilet etc.
Will post pre and post photos in the next few days

Updated on 2 Mar 2013:
Day 30, I am so happy with results.
No problems, bar one foot/lower leg swelling a week ago, i think due to sitting all day at work and not getting up enough to move around.
A bit stiff when i first get up to walk if sitting for a while, but once up and moving around can walk really well.
My scars are healing really well. Dr has got me to put silicone strips on scars all the time and a silicone gel in the groin area as the tape would not be able to stay on there. Fine scars.
Cant believe how skinny i look in jeans now, amazing. I don't have to worry about what sort of jeans or pants i buy now as i know I will always look good in them and not have to worry anymore about my thighs and how they look. My bottom is a bottom of its own now...lol, it blended into my thighs, so i thought my bum looked big, but it was my thighs making it look that way. Cannot believe the change of that now. I am still in my garment for another 2 weeks.

Updated on 20 Jan 2014:
Revision done 4 months ago, i need another revision as scars are uneven under my butt and the back of my legs are soft and still dimpled, I had asked for the backs to be lifted twice now, still wasn't done, so not keen on the way they look. I am very happy the way I look in clothes, but I want to wear shorts in public, still not 100% confident.

Updated on 17 Apr 2014:
I am over it now, I am finished getting it right, I am happy with the results. My doctor has given me great legs and butt! He does amazing work, the scars are so neat and fine and positioned well. It has taken a year to get the final result, but like i said it is my third revision. Apparently thigh lifts are the hardest to get right as they mark us up, but once on the table they can't stand us up to check if it is all even, my doctor did his best and has finished great. I wasn't charged anything more for the revision as he said i had paid a large amount to have it done orginally, so he is not going to charge anymore for fixing bits up that need it. He really is a good doctor, I have been very lucky to have him do the surgery. I have posted my 3rd revision photos up and as you can see it is all looking good.

Updated on 17 Apr 2014:
I also had some lipo done on my hips and my bottom has been lifted and a wedge taken out of the back of my legs under my bottom to lift and tighten back of legs.

Had high expectations after booking a consultation and hoping to speak to Norris about the surgery. But upon completion of the consultation, Norris refused to answer emails and gave me vague reasons as to why he couldn't communicate. The staff in reception also avoided follow-ups and ignored emails. Poor experience, would not respond to emails or calls.

Hi RS!

It's the night before my surgery and I'm so excited but a little bit nervous! I just found this site a few days ago after google searches in moments of panic and I'm so grateful!

I've wanted this since my teens. Now seemed like a better time than any - I'm completely settled, decided I don't want kids in the next few years, career on track, spare savings I can't use on travelling because I max out my leave for travelling...

I'm quite petite at 5'1 and my weight fluctuates between 99-110 depending on my workouts. I pole dance which has definitely contributed to this decision as my shoulders are just that little bit broader and my chest is just that little bit smaller, but also, bigger haha! And well, aesthetics!

I'm currently an A/B and I'm looking forward to being a full C/small D. My PS calculated my conservative tissue limit to be 275cc/295cc which should bring me to around that size post op (fingers crossed!) and keeping in mind, it may feel a tiny bit smaller than the sizer once in, submuscular.

Wish me luck!!!!!

Made it!!

I wasn't as nervous as I thought I should be which sort of made me worry I was going to have a breakdown last minute (me being crazy). All was fine!

I did walk into the theatre and there were lots of people in the room around the bed.. that was shaped like a crucifix.

While the anaesthetist was putting the cannula in my left arm some guy came in asking if they could take the other arm board but my PS started screaming "absolutely not! Who are these people." Then I started feeling dizzy and asked everyone to sing don't worry baby by the beach boys to me. No one replied. Or I fell asleep.

I woke up really really out of it. I felt a bit nauseas eve y time I had to move around but it subsided when I sat. Everyone else in that room seemed to be able to walk around fine but I was so floppy...

I'm avoiding Endone and that floppy feeling (and a slight hallucinogenic effect it gives me). I feel I tire easily and my chest is tight and with that feeling of pressure. I feel very restricted in movements.

So my chest doesn't seem as big as I imagined or as big as the sizers. Which is fine. Because I wasn't planning on more than Cs - I felt I got boob greed before the op! And wanted to go with D's but that wouldn't be realistic for my lifestyle! Also, I feel they are sitting quite high right now so I just have to be patient like everyone else, let them settle and drop and fluff so everyone can motorboat me.

I went back to work yesterday. I'm a design manager at a photography studio so i just retouched photos the last two days. I'm completely off Endone and just taking 2 panadols every 6 hours and have 1 day of antibiotics left. Panadol still makes me feel drunk.

The discomfort changes location day to day - I don't feel a thing sitting up any more but find under and my rib area, particularly the right, the most irritating...

One of the girls had the procedure done a few years ago in brazil- she said they don't move for 15 days and that my boobs will settle wonky because im up and about so i should let everyone carry my bag and open doors for me. I blew my work birthday cake out today and wished for even boobs because i was so paranoid.

Sleeping on my back has been such a struggle! Who does that voluntarily??

Updated on 31 Oct 2016:
A few little things:

Waiting for Frankenboob to leave. Halloween ends in an hour.

I finished my antibiotics and am completely off all painkillers, even panadol.

I drove for the first time today. I'm so weak at tight turns.

I felt a soft little release pop today and read about it this afternoon on RS. Is this common?

I had that dull tight muscle pain from midday Day 6 and was dreading this morning as I usually feel most run down when I first sit up. Surprisingly, this morning was by far the best I had felt. I thought I'd passed the peak! But this afternoon i felt a bit restless and uncomfortable again. But! Every day is an improvement for sure!

I noticed my right nipple and a bit below is slightly numb though slowly and steadily coming back. I get tiny tiny fireworks randomly in random places and I imagine nerves coming back to life.

My belly still looks bloated. Which is better than feeling bloated!

Today I got a bad feeling about the implants dropping out of me when I took my bra off.... so this photo is pretty awkward. And, the line marking underneath the clear dressings and those tan lines really throw off the shape!


Updated on 4 Nov 2016:
Hi RS!

It's funny, sometimes I feel like progress has come so far but other times that there's such a long way to go!! (Both are true!)

I had a follow up consult on day 9. My PS is happy with everything! My incisions are healing well, I'll continue wearing my stabiliser strap until day 14, and (unfortunately) continue to take it easy when it comes to physical activity.

Most of the time I feel like I'm completely back to normal and I forget I had the procedure...
So I'll do silly things when I'm on my own like open my car boot and have to stretch up and pull it down. If anyone owns a TT, you know how heavy those doors are. One spot is a bit sore....

My right side is slightly higher (it was smaller to begin with and has the 295cc bigger implant to compensate) but definitely losing the square shape!

Day 5 was my 30th and I finally tried on some bras and bralettes gifts. My nipples are a bit too sensitive and my boobs are a bit hard overall for me to comfortably tighten up the stiff push up bras! Patience...

And hey, I'm currently wearing an 8C/30C and 10C/30C Berlei sports bra but over the last few days they have started cutting in leaving seam marks. It looks and feels like the cups are strangling them!

I guess they're dropping and that's adding cup volume? Has this happened to anyone? It looks like it happens in lots of progress photos. I'm definitely not complaining!


Updated on 11 Nov 2016:
I was able to take off the steri strips and swap them for sticky silicon strips. But not before freaking out for 5 minutes in between about my implants falling out... haha ??

My skin and nipples are still so hypersensitive. It's insanely distracting and sometimes I mistake it for internal pain.

I get boob greed when I'm covered up because it's hard to notice them! but the second that I see a hint of cleavage (even in my kinda flattening ps recommended berlei sports bra) I'm completely satisfied with the size!!

I'm filling up 8C's, even 10C's (because 8's are so so hard to find!) I wear the 10 on the smallest size and the cups very slightly cut in. I tried on a soft cup wire free 10D over my 10C soft and it was snug but probably a bit big.

RS babes, please point me in the direction of 8Ds! I'll be forever grateful!!

Updated on 17 Nov 2016:
I had another consult yesterday and I'm good to get back into running (thankkkk f !!) any leg and ab work but no chest work and no weights lifted higher than shoulder height. And I still have to wear my sports bra day and night until week 6.

I forgot to ask about swimming and elevated or side sleeping...

My PS is still expecting me to drop a fair bit more, to fill out the lower pole.

Speaking of poles, I can officially start pole dancing at 6 weeks. Looking forward to testing out my strength and flexibility, and improving (quickly)!

This last week has been the most frustrating because I feel completely capable but am still restricted...

Halfway there!! I hope it goes quick!!

Where are the 8D's and 8DD's bras?!

Hi there,

I am really excited (but also really nervous).

I am quite a solid build as I have trained heavy weights for many years, and have competed in figure competitions. After dropping a lot of weight, and putting it back on with these competitions, my breasts were just never the same! They look quite deflated and I feel they are too small for my frame and build, so I have decided to get reasonably large breast implants, to help fill out the volume and balance my frame.

After meeting with three different surgeons, I decided to go with Dr Benjamin Norris from Form and Face in Bondi Junction. I felt he was very straight forward, honest, and first and foremost a surgeon (instead of a salesman) which I felt with the other surgeons I met with. I also felt he really had my best interests at heart and really listened to what I wanted whilst setting realistic expectations.

The other surgeons wanted to go round shape (which I think is easier for the surgeon) but Norris wants to go tear drop as I want a more natural shape (particularly with going quite large). He also showed me that the tear drop had a wider base, which I need as I don’t want much of a gap between my breast and want them to sit relatively high etc, and would give me the outcome I wanted. He also said I definitely need two different sizes! Putting the same size in both will show a significant asymmetry after, as I am starting with a decent asymmetry to begin with! The other two surgeons wanted to do the same size in both! Thank goodness I want to see him is all I can say.

After much research I had my heart set on polyurethane coated implants, instead of textured or smooth. He said he can use whatever implants I want and although does not have a contract with Polytech, he would organise to get them, and we looked through the catalogue with my measurements in mind and decided on a 460cc for my left breast, and 415 for my right breast (I am aiming for a DD). The other surgeons ONLY had one company/brand they would order implants off, because I assume they have an exclusive deal with them – i.e. what is best for the surgeon and not the for client. I was so impressed that Norris was happy to use any brand (as long as it was right for the client too) and has plenty of experience using this kind of implant too.

He gave me some sizes to try with a bra and take home to put under clothes and see what I liked best. I felt NO pressure to sign on with him, decided on a date, etc etc, which I felt at the end of the consult with the other surgeons. Needless to say, I called his office the next day and booked in with him. They then booked my pre-op consult for the week before. After my pre-op consult I couldn’t be more sure of me decision to choose him! :)

Anyway, the date of the surgery is in 8 days (not counting or anything) and I have decided to post everything on here including my results and recovery (which I am scared about with so much muscle and going under the muscle) to help anyone that is considering breast implants, Benjamin Norris, or an individual’s recovery! Needless to say, I update as soon as I am able to after the surgery, hopefully the day of, or the day after, so I don’t forget too many details to include for anyone that is interested.

Wise me luck :)

I had my surgery this afternoon!!! All went well apparently :) East Sydney Orivate Hospital was lovely!! I was incredibly nervous but nurses were extremely kind and caring.

I was soooo groggy coming out of the anesthetic, apparently I was demanding cocktails hahaha I don't remember any of that!!! They gave me more painkillers in the recovery room as I was in a little bit of pain. Did not feel nauseaous which is good, but I had to keep eating a drinking to help bring my blood pressure up before I could go as it was very low!

At home now just watching a move while my wonderful partner cooks me some dinner! Not hungry but need to have food with painkillers. I'm a bit nervous for tonight and tomorrow with pain - I guess I will just have to keep the painkillers up!! He has put a stabilizer strap on above my breasts which is quite uncomfortable!! But I assume necessary.

I just wish I could take everything off and see them!!!!! Will post a photo soon :)



Updated on 6 Oct 2016:
So yesterday, day 1, wasn't so bad. I didn't struggle sleeping propped up on pillows which is great. I slept most of the day in front of the TV.. Netflix is a godsend haha!

But this morning when I woke up (day 2) I was in so much pain! I felt like my chest muscles were spasming which hurt so much, so I text my PS and he says to get some Valium to help my muscles relax! I think they must have used a long acting anesthetic because today is 10 times worse than yesterday! Sitting up, even from a propped up position, is so hard, and if I'm too horizontal it is almost impossible without someone helping me up!! I have to wake up my poor partner every time I need to use the bathroom at night. I am taking laxatives too which has seemed to help keep me reasonably regular - I was told all the painkillers are quite constipating!

Staying on the Oxycodone every 4 hours has helped a lot!!! But I'm scared I'll run out and still need more! But I suppose I'll just see how I go.

I have a stabilizer strap on underneath the bra which is so uncomfortable but apparently I only have to wear it for 1 week as it is less useful for polyurethane coated implants.

Oh and I forgot to mention.. we actually went 495cc on left and 445cc on right. I really want to take everything off and have a look but I don't think I will for a couple more days. I have just been showering from the stomach down and wet wiped underarms and neck as I'm paranoid about getting the stitches wet.

I'm hoping the pain and tight discomfort is less tomorrow!!!!

Updated on 6 Oct 2016:
Hi there!

So today is day 3 and I feel a hell of a lot better than yesterday!!!!! Much less pain when not moving (sitting up is still quite painful). I must say yesterday was so hard! Physically, but also emotionally. I felt really teary which is really strange for me as I am the happiest, most level headed person in the world! But one of my friends told me that this happens after general anaesthetic as it affects your endorphin levels. Needless to say feeling more back to my mental self today :)

The Valium to help relax my chest muscles has done wonders, I honestly don't know what I would have done without it at this stage! I had 2 valiums before bed lat night and slept so well, no chest spasming, and I was even able to get myself up to use the bathroom without my partners help at around 5am! But come 8am I certainly needed his help! Haha the poor darling think is more tired than me! I feel like Valium or another type of muscle relaxant is super important for recovery, particularly if you have quite a bit of chest muscle like me from all my weight training! My chest still feels really tight but no where near as unbearable as yesterday.

I cant wait to take my bra and strap off tonight to have a look, and so my partner can shower me!! Will post photos then :) Fingers crossed!

I saw two dr both were lovely and took every care to make me feel comfortable ,
I did however decide to go with Dr Ben Norris
From face and form at norwest private
( as oppose to Dr Gavin Sandercoe )

The main reason I chose dr Norris was because he seemed to be able to calm me which is difficult to do , but I left his room feeling excited and sure I wanted to do this.

My pre op is on the 31st
He had me home with a 340CC round moderate this was more me pushing for moderate but I'm getting mixed comments from friends to go high profile or slightly bigger I love how this size looks but would appreciate advise from people not so close to me.

Thanks

I'm so excited had my pre OP,
I really like my PS he knows me so well and I have to say it again calms me.
Cannot wait to post my post OP photos

Ok so the numb all over tummy region makes me feel sooo bizarre to the point that having a shower and feeling the water wash over my body but no sensation in in tummy made me pass out !
Anyway using ENJO fibres to removed the bacteria off my skin chemical free cleaning so you just need a bit of water with the body glove.
I will try every night to work my way up to having a shower it just makes me feel squirmish.

On a lighter note my even though my weight has gone back down to normal I know the swelling still needs time to subside but feeling more positive everyday
