    Default Got results... sort of

    I went for my pre-op today for my breast lift. I almost wanted to drive to the casino with that 10,450 cash rather than hand it over to them, but nope. Both surgeries (lift and augmentation) are paid in full. Surgery is next Friday.

    Anyway, I had to have lab work and a mammogram done. My mammogram results were great. My lab work was almost great. The only thing that was off was my prealbumin. So, I've got a bit of malnutrition going on. No big deal, been dealing with that from the get go. It's not preventing me from having my surgery. I am really shocked though. I've been doing so well. I mean with the exception of throwing up all the damn time from the reflux. But I eat really well now and I've gained a lot of weight. I weighed almost 116 this morning. It's fine. I'll be fine. Everything else looked great. Even my B12 was good, and that's without taking any vitamins so...
    No pre-op diet

    I am excited for you! I have had both of those surgeries at the same time. I may have been lucky but had a really easy recovery. No hugging for a little while and of course the other obvious limitations to exercise i.e lifting, raising your arms, etc. I couldn't pick up my toddler for a bit and that was the worst part. She is 15 years old now ;-) I do feel like over versus under the muscle is a factor in recovery. Silicone or saline. I intend to have a re-do when I hit my goal weight. Congratulations!! Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of cute top and bra shopping

    I was going to ask why you weren't taking your vitamins. Isn't that rule #1 with bariatric surgery, vitamins for the rest of your life?

    Good luck on the upcoming surgery! You're gonna look great!

    I had the same question; I had a hard time keeping them down, tried everything and finally went to the gummy bear type, along with gummy biotin. I feel SO much better.
