So Ready!!!! - Aventura, FL

I made it through surgery, yea!! As soon as I arrived in Miami I called Maria to pick me up. She was very nice! We then headed to the Ghurani's office for my pre op appointment. I was early so I had to wait. First I met with Thania ( who is very pretty) and signed all this paperwork, then I met with Dr. G. He is the absolute best. He is so nice. He then told me I have nice curves and unfortunately I don't have a lot of fat, which made me a little sad. But he promised that he would give me great results and also added on inner thigh lipo to get more fat.
The day of surgery I woke early, I could not sleep the night before. When I got to the office I took a pregnancy test. Then I met the nurse anesthetist Peter(he was handsome). He gave me an IV, and Ghurani took pictures, then it was off to the surgery room. I was very nervous, I layed down, and I didn't even feel myself getting sleepy and I was out. I woke with my garment on shaking uncontrollably and I was in pain, it felt like I had pulled multiple muscles in my body. Which was the worst! After 5 minutes of shaking I got up by myself and told the nurse I was ready to go, she helped me put on my dress and Maria and Karla came in and wrapped a blanket around me. I was happy to see them! When we got downstairs I got up into the SUV where my nurse Mary was waiting in there to. When we got to the house I needed little help getting in. I took pain meds, are crackers and took a short nap. I woke up to use the restroom and eat soup, an took another cat nap. I started walking around on my own, pacing the room every hour. The pain that I'm I is bearable with pain meds. Mary even said I'm getting around good. I paced back and fourth in my room all night. Now I feel very sore and my butt especially. Sorry, this post might be very random because I'm kinda of high off pain meds.

I just got finished working a 12hr shift...and guess what I'm doing?...waiting for my doctor to give me a medical clearance. Days before surgery. This is bad, because I have suffered from from low Iron in the past, I've been taking my iron pills for a couple of weeks. I know Thania is annoyed with me because I'm making her job harder and she will have to review my info during the holiday, but thus far she has been so nice, and patient. I will cry I fly all the way to miami and they tell me I can't have surgery because my hemoglobin is low. It will be my fault because I didn't get my things in like I was supposed to!! I'm praying for things to work out, bc this is the perfect time for this surgery in my life....This week has been kind of annoying because I've waited for the last minute to do everything...and it's because I think deep down inside I didn't actually believe that I was going to go through with everything because everybody is against me having this surgery. I know everything is going to be okay, (pray for me) and there giving me a hard time because they care, but gosh! All of my things haven't came back for surgery yet. I will post a list of things a got, which are mostly lists from this site and I pick and chose what things I thought would be useful to me if anyone wants my list, let me know I'll post it...also I got this pillow thing off amazon (that's not here yet) that was very expensive, I will post a pic if it's helpful, because I already have trouble sleeping so I know I will need extra comfort. Since I waited until the last minute, I ended up paying a lot for two day shipping, so please believe me, DO NOT WAIT TO DO THINGS. It will make things annoying. I'll posting more pre op pics soon...so I can compare.

I know I haven't been updating like I should, and it's a combination of being lazy, feeling awkward, and going through a lot. My first thoughts are am I making the right decision about my doctor and his staff? The recovery home? I don't know these people, but I have read good things about them and I know at times people treat everyone different depending on their emotions.
Everything that I go through I will post the truth about, maybe not right now, because I am sure people read reviews on themselves, but believe me I am taking mental notes of everything and every single issue I have will be posted!!! Because right now I'm having little issues that I hope I am not over reacting about, but I will give it some time. So stay tuned guys...
My personal life has its ups and downs. Like how am I going to be away from my daughter for ten days!!! What am I going to tell her? I don't want her to have body issues... What am I going to tell my family and friends because everyone that knows is all ready judging me. Only the people closest to me which is about 4 people know about my surgery, but to me, some of them act is if they are envious, and one of them I'm sure is going to run their mouths to others out of jealousy. I don't want alienate myself from people, but with my personality, I know I will, I don't like bs or fake people and my circle is already small. The week after I come back I have a new job to start: people are going to be looking at me during orientation sitting on boppy pillow like "what the hell is wrong with her". Lol. Ugh...so much. But on a positive note.... I landed a new job with better pay! Yea!!! Which just so happens to start the Monday after I return from Miami. It's just sitting through orientation! Ugh...I have been extremely blessed so far and this has been amazing year for me! So I am going to pray for a successful surgery and that God places ginuenly caring people around during my recovery!
