Well It's been a while!! I had to reschedule my surgery from Nov 2 to Nov 13 because I had a sinus infection. That was a bummer but It could've been worse. Anyway, On the 13th I went in at 6:30 AM!!! I was the first surgery of the day. Basically, I got undressed and sat in a bed while several nurses came over to me and asked the same questions...my name, birthday, why i was there, any health problems, etc.... My surgeon finally came over, marked me up and I was off to the operating room. The anestisiologist told me to lay down, put a mask on my face and the next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room. The surgery took about 2.5 hrs. I remember looking under my gown but couldn't see anything because I was wrapped up in an ace bandage. The pain wasn't bad at all. I was extremely nausious which could have been from the pain meds or the anestisia. After a while they took me to my room. I was pretty nausious the whole night and I did not sleep well because I needed to be on my back and elevated at a 30 degree angle.
In the morning, the doctor came, took off my ace bandage and said I looked good. The nausea was gone and my boobs looked great. Even swollen and bruised!!! I was given a sports bra that buttoned in front and was discharged by noon. I didn't fill my pain med presription because the nausea I got from them was worse than the pain so I've been taking Tylenol and it's been working just fine. Honestly, I don't think i even need that.
I had drain tubes hanging from me which were uncomfortable and annoying. Forunately, I wasn't draining much and on day 3 post op, I went back to the doctor to have them removed. It took all of 10 minutes. Last night was the first night I had a decent sleep.
As of now, I'm pretty much done with everything. I don't have to go back for any follow ups because my stiches will go away themselves.
This is the best decision I ever made (regarding my body) and I am so happy right now. If anyone is reading this and is questioning whether or not to have the surgery, I say go for it. You will not be disappointed. And if you get queezy thinking about tubes or bruising, etc. Don't. I put off this surgery for years because the tubes freaked me out. They aren't that bad at all.
I'll be posting pictures soon.

So I have 4 more days!!! I'm really worried. I have been fighting a cold for 2.5 weeks now and it does not seem to be getting better.
I've decided that if I am not better by Wednesday I will reschedule the surgery. I have a feeling that I really won't have a choice because they are not going to put me under anesthesia if I'm unable to breath through my nose. I just want to get it done already. It feels like I've been waiting forever!!!

So I had my pre-screening/physical today. It was very easy and only lasted 45 minutes. When I got to the office, they gave me a tablet and had me answer about 50 questions regarding my health and family health history. After that I saw a nurse who weighed me, took my blood pressure and temperature. Then I saw the doctor (not the doctor that's going to do the surgery) She pretty much asked the same questions that I had already answered regarding my health history. Then she listened to me breathe, listened to my heart and asked if I had any questions. After that she said I'm considered low risk and that I'm all set for surgery. She gave me about 3 pages of items that I can not do 3 weeks prior to the surgery. I'm not on any meds but i do take a multivitamin everyday and because of the vitamin E I need to stop taking it until after surgery. Finally, I met with a guy who went over my insurance info. And that was it. I do have a question and maybe someone here can help me.
What is the average price for surgery? My insurance will be covering 80%. This means I am responsible for 20% of the cost. I have spoken with several financial counsellors at the hospital and none of them can give me an answer. They all say that it varies and I will not know how much I owe until after the surgery. I just want to make sure I have the funds to cover my part and that it doesn't put me in to debt....

Provider Review
Dr. Yetman is known as a great surgeon. He's also known for his lack of bedside manner. That's ok though. I figured I'm going in for a cosmetic surgery not cancer treatment or any other life threatening surgery. Being a great surgeon was more important to me than how he talked to me. For what he lacks in bedside manner, his main nurse (Denise) makes up for. I am only 4 days post op and I am thrilled with my results. The guy is awesome and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.
