Hey guys,

im trying to get organised for my surgery and the funds needed and was wondering for those who have had top surgery, how much in US$ did u have to spend on the postoperative compression vest + prescriptions (seeing as these arent included in the surgery fee)?  and what other items did u need?

Cheers,
Joshua

Hey Josh,
Dr. Garramone did my surgery and a few other guys I know and he does not use a compression vest after surgery. After he removes the original bandages he only had me cover the nipples with gauze and neosporin until healed. I would check with him though since you are traveling so far.
He gave me precriptions for a antibiotic and pain pills but my insurance covered them so I don't know the exact cost.

I don't remember how much the vest was. I do remember you have to order it in advance so you will have it with you the day of the surgery.
