Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 No one can stop the clock. I'm in the 2 week pre-op period. I know I should not have aspirin and ibuprofen. Tobacco and alcohol I won't have anyway. Are there other things that I should not put in my body before the surgery? Are there things I could be doing to better prepare myself physically for the surgery? Any experienced suggestions would be wonderful....J explanting with Dr. M 3/30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi J...Your on the right track. Did you get an information sheet from your PS on what not to take? Some Herbal meds are not allowed either. I would just make sure that you don't take anything! Oh, Vit.E if your taking that in addition to your multi, than stop that. Causes bleeding during surgery. I didn't even have an appt when I went to talk to my PS about having them removed but I knew I wanted them out. I didn't take anything! Just in case he told me he would do it. And he did. I went in on a Monday and he took them out on Thursday! He is so Awesome! I know if you have a headache you may take Tylenol. Hope it helps. I was explanted 3/03. By the way...it's the easiest surgery you'll ever do!!!! So excited for you. I know you'll be pleasantly surprised! I have 3 occasions to shop for. I went dress shopping all this week. It is so liberating to look at myself in the mirror and just see ME! Give yourself some time and you'll feel the same way! I will be thinking of you...Marie Marie 2 wks.til explant;need suggestions No one can stop the clock. I'm in the 2 week pre-op period. I know I should not have aspirin and ibuprofen.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 He did an amazing job! I'm 2cup sizes bigger than I started with and he made my nipples perfect! You will feel so comfortable when you get down there, you can fully trust he will do an amazing job on you too! Just don't get headaches over worrying go about things normally and time will go by so fast. PS. surgery was painless! and my energy is back Best surgery experience and the hospital is very nice with waterfalls and nice gift shops/restaurants and the nurses are so nice. The admission lady you pay before surgery is the only mean one but the nurses, secretaries and Dr.M are great! --- In , " crazycanoe1 " <crazycanoe1@d...> wrote: > > No one can stop the clock.
