Re: Questions for Post-Oppers -Hillary

[Guest guest]

I think I lucked out finding sucha reasonable price on my MLD. I called a few

places and was quoted around $75 per session. I think I would have been fine

with out the MLD. At 5 weeks (when I had it) post-op, I had a reduction in

swelling but it wasn't drastic. It was a nice way to relax and unwind. It also

took care of post-op acne and drained out some swollen glands in my neck.

I am now feeling more normal. I am back to working out. The only thing that

suffered is my running. I used to do 25-30 miles a week and I'm struggling to do

3/week right now! It just feels weird right now. Other than running, I am doing

everything I was doing pre-op.

Last minute advice.....eat all your favorite foods, especially crunchy foods.

For the past 6 weeks, I've had a craving for nachos and pizza like you wouldn't

believe! Also, have your " last " meal 2 nights before surgery. The night prior I

was told to eat light and I would have been to nervous to enjoy it.

Your surgery will go fine! Just try to relax and have some fun this weekend. Get

all your post-op supplies in order. Keep busy! Email me when you get to the

other side! You'll be in my thoughts!
