Today I had my visit with my ps. The good news is I'm healing well. I received the okay to hit the gym. I have to start off slow and wear my compression garmet. The bad news is he prescribed me neurontin again. For the past few days I haven't been sleeping. My back and my right side makes it almost impossible to get comfortable. Today I got before and after pictures and I LOVE my results. When I get discouraged with being uncomfortable I have something to look at and remind me why I did what I did. Lastly I'm waiting for the swelling to be completely gone, but I know that will take time.

Finally feeling better!!

Yesterday I had a visit with my PS. He said everything looked good. I expressed the tenderness in my back and still being very uncomfortable. He prescribed me neurotin again to help with the nerve pain. I showed him a different type of cg because I was struggling with the one I have. He gave me the ok for that as well as the okay to start my multivitamin pills. I took the meds last night and feel asleep. I took one this morning and of course went back to sleep. After a good nap my husband and I went out and had lunch. We also stopped and visited with a few friends. It felt so good to be able to go out today. Just yesterday morning I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel but today I am surely a believer. I even showered yesterday by myself. 16 days PO and I'm feeling great! I almost forgot to mention I put on jeans for the first time today :)

I'm liking the new me!!!

When I originally thought of getting a TT I had a bunch of consultations. I wait a few years and started searching again. I called a PS I was interested in before and it seemed that his schedule was not flexible. When I called Dr. Centeno's office his staff was understanding and scheduled my consultation. The staff was pleasant and didn't make me feel uneasy at any point (until I had to undress for pictures) During my consultation he gave me the chance to ask a bunch of questions. He even praised me for doing my research. After meeting with the doctor I felt so comfortable I scheduled my pre-op for the 16th and my TT with lipo on the 30th. I then studied this website. I came up with a list of questions go ask. My husband was never fully on board. During my pre-op the doctor took time to help my husband address a few of his concerns. He then focused his attention on me. After he went through everything he asked me if I had questions. I then went through all my questions at no point did I feel rushed. He assured my husband that he will give him his personal number the day of surgery. Day of surgery came and I was just a ball of nerves. The nurse came in and visited the doctor came in and marked me up then the anesthesiologist came in broke down what she will do. Once again I stayed strong until they asked my family to leave. When I got into the surgery room everything fell apart. I broke down in the worse way. After trying to calm me and I said I was ready they called the doctor in and after a few moments I was ready to go. Had my post-op 8 days later and everything he said was holding to be true. Before we left my husband shoke his hand and said thank you he loved the way I look.
