Breast Reduction. Del Mar, CA

Today, I met with Dr. Pacella for a consultation on a breast reduction. His staff emailed me the paperwork needed for my appointment prior to the appointment which I liked because then I had it all ready for them upon my arrival. When I arrived for my appointment the staff were friendly and I was taken back to an exam room almost immediately. The nurse and the office staff were very nice. Dr. Pacella was professional, and explained the procedure and possible complications in great detail. Diana, who works in the office, was extremely helpful in explaining the process of everything. Overall, it was a great visit and I will hopefully get approved for my reduction.

I was approved for surgery through my insurance. The date of my surgery is 5/16/16- nervous but excited to have it over with. Pain be gone! Already bought pajamas, planned childcare, and meals. Husband will be taking 3 days off work so all should be fine. (Fingers crossed)

Today, was my pre-op appointment. All went well and I am scheduled for surgery on 5/16/16. I will have drains so the nurse showed my husband and I how to care for them. The nurse also went over in great detail how to prepare for surgery, what to expect on the day of surgery, and how to care for myself after surgery. I have to say that I am very nervous yet excited to get this done. My neck and back pain will hopefully be relieved by this surgery. My biggest concern is really missing working out and being active. I truly love that aspect of my life and I will miss it during my recovery. Other things I am thinking about are just having the most uneventful surgery and recovery ever. I hope that all goes well and I heal quickly. I am going to have to really work at relaxing. Ha Ha!
