I have been thinking of this for several years. I looked into several PS and 3 of them cancelled the day before my consultation. I thank God I found Dr Hopkins.We scheduled my surgery for 12/20/12 and wouldn't you know it I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery 2 weeks before my TT was to occur.

From day one I had instant faith in Dr Hopkins. He spent 2 hours with me at my initial consult. His mannerism made me feel like I was his only patient. My pre-op is on 2/19/13 and I can't wait. I know I am in excellant hands and have total confidence in Dr Hopkins. I can't wait until March 7 which just happens to be a day before my 64th birthday.

At my pre op I decided to not have the pain pump. I think Dr Hopkins agrees. I really need to be able to feel the pain so I can make sure I am not straining my body more than I should. I am starting to feel both excited and a little anxious.

Everything will be just fine tomorrow! Believe me, surgery is a breeze. You get the best sleep and you don't remember a thing! Good luck to you! Let me know how it goes

I had my TT on the 7th. It was such a personal experience. I felt like I was in my own home. The staff were wonderful!!! Was there pain after? But what else could there be? This was a major operation but I was never, not even once, worried about the outcome. The after care has also been relaxing. Thank you so much for putting my life back together Dr Hopkins. :-)
