I think you mean THEIR existence is horrifying, you bigot!
Today, Corissa learns she is not the only person who can be pointlessly mean on the internet just to hurt people's feelings. Yeah, it's unpleasant; isn't it, fatty? Maybe you should stop using your platform to be mean to other people and keep your mean ideas in a contained place where you're not just saying mean things and encouraging other people to be mean. Stupid.
Does anyone remember how long Juliana and Corissa plan on staying SF post-op? With the high possibility of complications like wound dehiscence and blood clots, would it even be safe for her to fly say two weeks after?
Well, we do know that the surgeon has approved Juliana for surgery—but now I want to know if there's an anesthesiologist already on board, who knows all about her size and health status? Or did the surgeon pre-emptively approve Juliana and allow her to get on his schedule without consulting an anesthesiologist, figuring he'd find one willing to take her on, if the ones he normally works with won't do it?
Imagine if this goes through, she actually survives cutting time with Dr Mengele and makes it onto the flight home, only to have some sort of godawful, Medizzy medical emergency halfway between SFO and MCI. JFC. Imagine having to have your flight turned around over the results of this self indulgent shitshow. And on a SWA flight, to boot. Or alternatively, Coco melts down because she’s not automatically offered the whole can of ginger ale and decides it’s fat phobic.
It's hard to say, I think she'll probably need to see her regular doctor prior to travelling, and I think this is where she's going to run into problems. No anesthesiologist is going to touch her.
I seem to recall when they were setting up the GFM, they mentioned two weeks accommodation and car hire.
Given gender surgeries are ALL they do, it wouldn’t surprise me if the usual anaesthetist is as sketchy as Dr Scott Mosser himself. He’s sitting pretty on her sizeable non-refundable deposit right now, so it’s no skin off his nose if J’s surgery doesn’t happen.
She’ll be required to wear a corset over the incision area 24/7 for many weeks, if not months. That’s where the support will come from. For abdominoplasty it’s 24/7 for at least 3 months, followed by another 3 months worn during the day, but off while sleeping.
Which brings up another question:
It wouldn’t be a big deal to modify the largest size for her use if need be. They are just a big rectangle of high compression stretch material that secures with a thick Velcro band on one end. They could jut take the largest size, cut it vertically and sew in extra fabric. A quick google and I saw the first site I looked go up to 75” (6’3”).
At some point, his malpractice insurance will tell him to get fucked, though.
If they are cutting from one underarm to another, then she’ll absolutely be in a compression garment of some sort. I don’t think it’s only for keeping pressure of skin pull off the wound, it’s also to do with reducing inflammation somehow.
Fur baby shit is so obnoxious.
Natalie Stewart had drains for a bit when she got her itty-bitties lopped off. I can't imagine Juliana not having drains.
Post-op mastectomy binders aren't much different in function from pre-op FtM or gyno binders, so if J has anything lying around from previous attempts at binding, now's the time to dust it off.
Dr. Gallager brags about her"no-drain" procedures, but IIRC her super-secret method is just tacking down tissue with a lot of additional sutures, to prevent seroma forming by stitching closed the places where seroma could form. Drains prevent seroma by sumping out fluid so it can't accumulate. Binders work by also pressing tissue together, but from outside.
Absolutely agree. Surgical binders tend to be extremely uncomfortable (and expensive). You can do way better buying your own online, if you know what you’re doing. Often surgeons will insist you buy from their preferred provider, but that’s really only necessary when you have your surgery.
Lots of plastic surgeons use this method. From memory they call it a quilting stitch. It’s just a patchwork of stitches in a grid pattern over the area where the skin has been lifted. Dr Youn has been talking about doing that technique for years.
