I guess I have two months to go and feeling the anxiety already. Already packed pretty much I only have my home physician appointment to score on my medications and antibiotics. But I'm not sure if the doctors prescribe for us here in the U.S but I'm sure gonna try. I've posted for some help but my review was denied because I heard no response back from no one. I'm still hoping to meet up with another surgery buddy but to no avail. My date is for February 27th so I am thankful I have answers here on real self cause it's getting to real for me. I am excited to use my Embrace scar therapy maybe because the price seems like it should be a miracle worker I also been taking Vita Medica pre and post surgery vitamins they seem to be pretty strong and can't quite take them all as prescribed but I'm taking one at a time for now morning and night but still feel the niacin affect pretty ruff. I'm still in the process in buying my Faja but seems everyone says they to small or to big and I'm stuck at the moment on Amazon shopping cart. I did however have to skip through many many reviews on what to get for comfortability and now I'm up two suit cases. I won't be bringing most of the medical stuff back like gloves pads and chux so I'll have less to carry back. I am super nervous and will be posting my journey as it gets closer to February. I need prayers please. Much love

I had my surgery in my home state, so I can't really answer your question regarding the medications. But my advice would be to surf RS for other TT's done in DR and ask that person directly...the only RS'ers that are going to see your question is those who are following you! So you will need to make contact with others first - because likely not anyone is seeing your profile when you need them to! Good luck to you - I know you are excited and I'm happy for you!

How did your surgery go?

It went as it should I guess the pain is more than I thought it could be. Hardest part is walking hunched back and trying to turn positions through the night. Exhausting the healing process is for me anyway.

Hey sweetie we're well into March so much how did your procedure go
March 20, 2017
I'm recovering I'm still way stiff on my lower abdomen. I'm still hunched back so my incision stays tight. Seems to be somewhat scaring over in the middle but being diabetic I'm taking a huge precaution so I heal right. My date ended up being the 1st of March. I wrapped my world around this life changing experience that now that its done I just want to recover and now the battle with the garment. Thank you for your thoughts

Medication

Whoknowsanymore
I'm in the process making appointments before leaving to Dominican Republic to have my medication filled before going. Is asking my primary doctor for help in filling my medications a normal thing? And also I asked my DR doctor to send me and email so I can show my physician in the states what is needed to fill my prescriptions. Is this the way to do it because I feel a little resistance with asking either doctor to do this? Please I need help and guidance

I too got some resistance from my doc.
My doctor is a newbew and she's kinda of lost, she first said she can't prescribe me anything since I'm having sx outside the US... I was like what? She said she's going to have to look into it and will let me know on my pre-op visit with her 2 weeks before my actual sx in DR. I don't know what to.. My doctor in DR will prescribe all meds that I need, but pain pills are not as strong as in the states and I'm worried.. I have thought about purchasing some Percocet online, which is totally legal but sucks cause that's another a few bucks out of pocket...
