Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 Hi all, I have been locked in egroups wilderness for a while, so sorry if I haven't replied to anyone! Egroups kept telling me my messages were bouncing but I couldn't reset it. Anyway, all fixed! Firstly, plastic surgery is all done and looking mighty fine (if i do say so myself!). My boobs look better than they ever have (sorry guys, you may want to skip this bit!). they are up there like a teenagers! Hubby is extremely pleased also, altho they are still off limits for a while! LOL! the tummy i have had a little trouble with fluid collecting and have had to have it sucked out twice but this is not serious and should eventually clear up. the doc says it is a fine line between letting the body absorb it (which it will do) and sucking it out if it is a nuisance. the doc wants to me keep micropore on all the big wounds for 6 weeks as he says it gives a better long term result so thats what I'm doing! For 2 weeks I could not shower as he doesn't like his dressings getting wet so it was a sponge bath with the little shower hose thingy in the bath for a while! That first shower was soooooo good! If anyone wants to see pics, email me and I'll send them privately! , you were one was trying to reply to when i kept bouncing (cyberly that is). If you are meeting up with Shona, can I gatecrash?? And a!!! WHHHEEERRREEE AAARRREEE YYYOOOUUUUU?????? Jaqueline, it may be worth checking if your weight is likely to come off after you have finished your treatment (if you haven't already). this sort of last resort is normally for those of us with a lifetime weight problem and can't shift it any other way. I'm not trying to put you off, but it may be an extreme way for you to loose your weight. Otherwise, I am with Medibank Private and had to pay around $1400 myself, but then I am in Perth and I think most things are cheaper here! I had my band done in Jan 99. the surgeon had a $1000 gap and the rest was the anaethetist (sp?). MP paid all the band and hosp expenses. Jo, good going on those jeans!! next thing, they won't fit you anymore and you'll be looking for a size14! Esther, I am glad your results weren't anything bad, altho sometimes we hope it will be, so they can fix it and get on with it! Aly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
