BBK,
I am wondering how you are doing with swelling. You seem to be one of the only people whose Dr. doesn't have them slapped into a binder. I think your Dr. said it was better for blood supply to the incision site. How's it going? Do you think the lack of binder is making you swell more or less than the other folks? I know it's proably hard to make a comparison like that, but I am trying to prepare for my eventaul PS and would like to get more info on life without a binder.
You look great!

You look great! | Thanks Foofy
I think the swelling is going ok. I have more on the right side than the left side still. I really don't have anything to compare it to though. I tried wearing spanx for 1 day and got all freaked out and ditched it. I can say that I hurt a lot still. When I sneeze I want to cry. I definately think there are many times when I have needed the support of a binder, but alas as much as I don't like him I still follow my Dr's orders. (Am I a dork?)
I can say that I can wear a bikini now. I have one that hides the line and it looks good. No swelling hanging out anywhere!

State: Of confusion | Port Revision Update
Hello all
Just got off the phone with the Dr's office. I am having a Hernia Physical on the 21st for the port replacement. They are calling it a hernia for insurance reasons I guess. WHATEVER they want to call it, I just want it fixed!
I will go see the Bariatric Surgeon on the 21st and should get my surgery date then. Ah, all seems so long to wait!

I am very deflated too. It would be nice to get implants, but I paid enough for this surgery and I really don't have the money to spend on
boobs. My daughter is a DDD. She had Gbypass and her boobs look like
tube socks.
