So far everything has gone as planned. I'm nervous and anxious and excited! I was going to go with Dr Cochran but I looked at his partners work and decided to go with him. The scar placement is really a big deal for me. I have 5 days to go ???? I'll update with before and after pictures.
Anything in particular I should be doing?

Did you get a drain tube or not? He wants to do the one without the drain and I'm so unsure.

Thank you for your pics. They helped me realize the swelling under my incision in my pubic area was normal. My PS told me it was but I was so nervous. I am 3 weeks po and still feel terrible! You have given me hope lol.

I'm still swollen and look gross. I'm actually thinking about a revision in the DR soon. I look like an episode of botched.
I hope everything goes well for you! Keep me updated please!

So this is me this morning. Really hate my stomach. I used to be so snatched but I guess that's what I get for having 4 kids and 4 c sections.

Have you started a vitamin? Have you done your labs? I still haven't done the labs. I hope they get to him in time. Where are/did you do labs?
March 10, 2016
I just got a call from Terry this morning confirming my consult with Dr. P Monday which is my birthday lol. I fly out tomorrow morning and make it to Atlanta around 10:00 am. I faxed Donna a week of my BP readings yesterday and when I get to Columbus tomorrow, I'm going straight to the lab directly across the street from the clinic for my CBC and pregnancy test which is the estimated cost of $38. Donna called the clinic to inform that I was coming. The clinic close at 5:00pm. My bloodwork should have been done made it to the office come Monday for my pre-op. I started my vitamins last month, which is a multivitamin, vit c, iron, b-12 and folic acid. I hope and pray my hemo is up (fingerscrossed)

User Avatar
March 10, 2016
I would definitely lose it! I just started taking a prenatal vitamin yesterday. I'm hoping he can do it on the 14th because my birthday is on the 31st lol. I want to look somewhat snatched by then. I don't know why I'm lagging with the labs but I guess I'll get them done soon.
I hope the vitamins have helped you. I want to see what you look like
March 10, 2016

Did my blood work

Ok so I did my blood work on Friday. I'm hoping that the lab sent it out to Dr P today. I rarely get a chance to get out and do things for myself so it was crazy getting there. Well Monday is fast approaching and I am ready to be snatched to the Gods!
