Waited for 15 Years.... the Wait is Over! - Atlanta, GA

I can't believe the difference and it's only two weeks later. These pictures wee taken at one week post op.

My (second) pre-op is scheduled for next Tuesday and surgery is set for next Thursday. Here are a few pre op pictures. Cant wait to post some post op.

I went in for surgery on the 20th. I think I must have been feeling all the emotions one person could possibly be feeling. My gynecologist went first. He tacked my bladder and tied my tubes. During his part he noticed a couple masses in my abdomen that raised some concern. After calling in a general surgeon to take a look all three of the doctors decided it would be better to hold off on the cosmetic procedures until the could look in to the masses. As you could imagine I was utterly disappointed. I stayed in the hospital for a couple nights and the doctors ran some test. All the test results came back normal. However they did diagnose me with Mesenteric Pannicultis. Basically it is inflammation of all the connective tissue and lymph nodes in my abdomen. In very rare cases this can lead to different types of cancer. All the doctors that treated me agree this is just something I will have to monitor once a year for the rest of my life and at this time I have been cleared for the rest of my surgery which has been scheduled for July 9th. I am glad I have such wonderful caring doctors. Better safe than sorry! Thank you Dr. Bobby Tackket and Dr. Tom Lintner for show that there are doctors that care.

So the emotions and nerves get to continue for 2 more weeks.
