2 weeks before and nerves on edge

Wanted a surgeon who only does faces. Looked at surgeons in NC, Ca and NV. Chose Dr LanFranchi in Las Vegas. Had consultation via Skype. Doctor and staff have been great so far. Nerves getting the best of me currently. Will be driving from So Cal with a friend and staying at local hotel. Original reservation was for an airbnb with a recliner but host canceled. I had cancer 3 years ago and the radiation to my lower face and neck region seemed to suck all elasticity out of my skin aging me about 5-7 years in 6 months. Because of radiation I was not a candidate for laser or rf treatments. Cancer treatment leaves a great deal of damage behind so I am hoping this surgery can at least help me look like the me from before. I am thankful to still be living and want me face to look like it is happy too!

Dr Lanfranchi office called on Friday (1 week before procedure) to see if I had any questions and remind me of items I am to stop using . My insurance does not cover out of state care unless and emergency so the office called in my RX to my Calif pharmacy so I could get filed here. You have to have paper script for pain meds . I had surgery a few months back so I already have my own pain medication that the doctor has approved of. You could get filled in Nevada and pay out of pocket if your insurance is like mine. Too add to my nervousness I recently started dating someone and have not told him. He will be out of town the 1st week and I guess I will hide out the next until I am not to scary for public viewing. Yikes

Staff was great and doctor very reassuring. He said procedure went perfect. I was in a lot of pain. Had great difficulty getting pain under control 1st night. Honestly I was hating myself. Had recheck this am all is well. Vomited during the ride home but back in Ca. I feel much better today. The wrap is very uncomfortable and I cannot wait to take it off at noon tomorrow.
