So far I am a ball of anxiety! I went to a different Dr first and was turned away even though I was in tears over the pain. She would not even talk to me because of my weight.
I called another Dr and they were so nice on the phone and listened to my concerns.
When I went into the office, there was 0 waiting time and they made me feel so welcome. They agreed with my PCP that I can not do anything about my weight until they are gone.
My surgery is in one week and I cannot grasp the changes I will feel! My back hurts 24/7.
I am Dr ordered not to run or jog. I see my chiropractor weekly. Standing in the shower is even painful.
I always have a terrible rash under my breasts, it bleeds, burns and grosses me out. The indents in my shoulders are over an inch deep. My bras break from the weight and are so painful to wear.
I work in an office setting but go for walks and have a treadmill in my office. Walking for too long is very painful... As is sitting.
Sleeping at night is difficult, I have to wake up completely to roll over and cannot sleep on my back because I can't breathe.
My finger and arms go numb constantly.
I have dreamed of this surgery since 7th grade.
Wore my first bra in kindergarten, was a DD in middle school and by 19 I was an H.

Day of treatment
I did it!

Went in foot BR and I feel great. I was out for about 3 hours, woke up feeling lighter. My little finger nerve had been pinched for so long, the feeling started coming back and it ached for a few hours. The pain is tolerable, not bad at all.. No drains were put in, so I don't have that hassle.
Really glad to have this done!

Congratulations! Did you have the FNG.
March 24, 2015
Yes, I had to have the FNG. Looks worse than it feels. The most pain I feel is on the sides where he liposuctioned on the sides. Other than that I have been walking around just being careful not to lift anything.

Ok because I might have to have but haven't seen many who have had this done. PS said that there is a chance that the nipple would be discolored. He said he would try his best.

No guarantees on color, just guarantee of the best to his ability. Is really not that painful.
March 24, 2015
Congrats! Rest and take care of yourself. You look great and I bet your aches are diminished.

Hey girlie welcome to the community. I had the same issues prior to my BR. I was not able to drop the weight or exercise comfortably. After I had my surgery I was able to drop 70 pounds. This really is a life changing event and you will feel like a new woman. I am very excited for you and look forward to seeing your updates and results.
Thank you for posting your review and pictures.
