the operation i dreamed of

This experience with my Mommy makeover has been a great one. I've had surgery in the 2016 I had a BBL Fat transfer in Stone Mountain Georgia but I was advised then a Tummy tuck would be needed for my ideal results, Unfortunately I didn't have enough money to cover the procedure at the time and man am I glad I had a amazing journey looking here on REALSELF for my doctor and I found the BEST doctor in the south hands down DR. DAVID WHITEMAN I found him ok here through REALSELF because I am a member and I can see the doctors before and after work I noticed he's well over qualified back in November 2016 i reached out to his assistant Jackie and sent my consultation photos and she sent me back my quote of $10,900 from that moment I had my quote until last week I've been planning to have my surgery ! I set my date on 06/03/2017 and they confirmed my surgery would be Wednesday 06/07/2017 at 11:30 am I was more than excited before my surgery on Monday I had a full body detox colon cleanse foot detox and infrared sauna I'm sure that was why I had an easier healing process as well. The day before Surgery I went to my doctor and he got my prescriptions and had to get an authorized override from South Carolina and they approved it the morning of my surgery so instead of paying $250 for 3 prescriptions I paid $3.20 per prescription it was a total of $10.29 for medicine when I received my prescriptions the morning of my surgery I went straight to GWINETT MEDICAL OUT PATIENT right after I got my medicine. I arrived at 11:11 am and they checked me in by 12 pm Dr. Whiteman came in to do my markings after they did my iV and I met with the anesthesiologist , Surgery was a success and they finished that evening around 6 or 7 pm I remember my Dr coming in my recovery room and me mustering up enough energy to shake his hand and tell him he changed my life I remember him calling me a sweet girl and left the room his bedside manner is AMAZING!!! My childs father came to pick me up shortly after that and they made him watch videos on how to take the Catheter out of me the next morning and how to give me my blood thinner shots in my leg daily. We got in the car and went straight back to Greenville SC I could of stayed at my child's father mother house who lived in Atlanta and I stayed at her house the night before surgery but decided not to go back to her house because it was a hour Into atlanta passed Duluth and it made more sense to leave out of Atlanta because at 6 and 7 pm who wants to drive into Atlanta it took an hour and 30 min to get home from Duluth Georgia and once home I came in and sat in the lazy boy and got comfortable because I knew the lazy boy was gone be my new best friend for the upcoming week and it was lol ! I was sent hom with a total of four drains two up top for my breast lift and two below in my pelvic for my tummy tuck pain was an understatement but I was given promethazine and hydrocodone to tolerate it a week later I had my first appointment back at SOUTHERN PLASTIC SURGERY and it was finally drain removal day which is bitter sweet because before when I had my bbl it hurt like the Dickens when they pulled my drains out of me this time I honestly can say it wasn't that bad on a scale from 1-10 it was about a 4. Once drains where removed dr. Whiteman came in and discussed any unanswered questions I had and Also told me what's the best option with me returning to work. This man is more than a doctor he is honestly a new found friend him Jackie Beth and his assistant Hannah are all angels if I could do it all over I would as long as SOUTHERN PLASTIC SURGERY was my doctor. Thanks Doc your an amazing man and I promise I will take care of this body you designed so perfectly !
