Mommy Makeover and over 50! - Oregon, OR

Did my research and consulted with Dr's from Medford to Eugene. I really liked a Dr in Medford but the staff was horrible! I did not want to go all the way to Portland but my husband said he just wanted me to be safe and have a good Dr no matter how far we had to travel. So I found a few Dr's in Portland and started my research again. The Dr I liked best was Dr. Demars. I literally stalked his post for a few months. I liked the way he answered questions and felt safety and well-being was his priority. Sooooo.....


I booked my consultation. I was told he was very thorough and to make sure I had enough time. The directions to the office were easy to follow and I arrived at the office on time. The office was clean and tastefully decorated. The staff was very friendly. My appointment was at 10:30 and I was escorted in approximately at 10:35. I had to watch 2 videos and then was taken in to get my weight and vitals. Next I met with Dr. Demars. He was very friendly and really put my nerves at ease. I was lead in for my physical exam (yeah yuck) and he spoke to me about my body and what I could expect. He did not try to talk me into any extra procedures and listened to what I wanted. The appointment lasted 2 hours!

I booked my surgery and met with the office manager Tish (she is amazing and easy to talk with) paid for the surgery, got my rx's, and went over the procedure some more on what I needed to do and what to expect. I was told the morning of surgery to come to his office. He has his own surgical center and his rate of infection is nil to nothing!

So yes I am very nervous but this guy has been doing the for 30+ years.

Will post more as things progress!

Thanks to all who have inspired me!

Okay well it's Sunday night and my surgery is Wednesday. I hate posting any photos but you all have been so good and have shared your stories. Can't wait to post better ones! Sooooooo nervous!

Okay, it's the night before surgery. I have to be at the surgery center at 6:45 am. I have had dinner at 3:00pm and will not have anything until after my surgery. I am nervous but only of coming out of surgery and getting sick. The office says they have very few that get sick... We will see. I have taken my shower with special soap and have to do it again in the morning. I have my chair ready with pillows and blankets. My meds are packed. I will come to the surgery center in my pj bottoms with a large zip up sweat shirt. I don't think I'll care when I am leaving! :). I will post photos and let you know how it goes as soon as I can. Wish me luck!
