Abdomnioplasty / Breast Reduction Scheduled

I have these procedures scheduled on 2/11. I have already cancelled this once, and now I'm starting to freak out again. I can't believe this is an outpatient procedure! Anyway, I just thought I'd check in and let you know I'm reading your accounts.

I am having an extended TT on Jan 8th and it is an outpatient procedure. They do it all the time now. I figure I would rest better at home.

I don't do very well with surgeries.  I had my LapBand in the main OR and had to stay overnight because of my Malignant Hyperthermia.  I was happy about that.  I was so nauseated that first night.  After my plastics I stayed 3 nights and was very pleased I did since I was so light headed and faint when I got out of bed.  It helped to have nurses available to help me shower and dress.  You're a strong person to be able to have your surgery as an outpatient, I'm just a wimp!

Everyone handles thing differently. Your experiences does not make you a wimp. Don't be so hard on yourself. I had lots of trouble with previous surgeries but found out I have an allergy to Demoral which is a very common drug used with surgeries. I don't have the nauseated problems since I refuse it now. Maybe you can find a connection to something like that. Worth looking into to see what was used in common on each of your surgeries. They told me it wasn't very common but, it did it to me.

Good luck!!!

Hi Barbara, I understand what you are talking about I am also allergic to demoral. I have delusions when they did my thighs and put me on it.

Everytime I had surgery and they gave it to me I got sick and had dry heaves so bad they were afraid I was going to break stitches from the surgery. Now that I refuse it, surgery recovery is so much better. Unhappy that you have the allergy but, glad to find someone who understands.
