This entire process has been eye opening for me. I now understand more what I already knew- I have an awesome support system- that I wouldn't change for the world.
The results of the cultures resulted in my contracting a staph infection around the entire back of my waist line where my first drainage tube was. I was prepped for emergency surgery to remove the infection on Friday evening 3/25. And had a 4 day hospital stay. I now have three open wounds across my lower back which have to be changed 2 times a day for now. PAINFUL!!! My PS has set up to have a home health nurse come out today or tomorrow to hook me up to some kind of little medical vac pump (that I will have to carry around with me) to close the wounds up faster (about 3 weeks).
This had been an emotional bumpy road for me. Would I do it again- probably not!
I took a chance had an elective surgery and now I am putting my body through much more!

week 3:
Well saturday I noticed a thickish fluid in my drainage tubes so I contacted my PS and texted him pics. He immediately responded and then phoned in an antibiotic. Turns out one of my drainage tubes is draining pus:(. I am www.blown.com as that is a sign of infection.
So I saw my PS today and he cyphered out pus from three areas ( with three huge syringe needles) and sent the cultures off for evaluation. OUCH!!!! He also switched my antibiotic to two others, with hopes of resuming regular drainage color and stoping the infection. I go back to the office on friday for another follow up.
Here is the depressing kicker.........
IF THERE IS STILL PUS I GO BACK UNDER FRIDAY NIGHT!
Now I refuse to CLAIM it and I am doing my best to remain positive.
This is my update for now....

Dr. M is a great PS and his staff, especially his nurse Trish are awesome! Dr. M is very informative and focuses on every individual and their needs. He makes the best recommendations and makes sure he answers any questions you could possibly have. He focuses on body contouring and makes sure he dies just that. Yes, he is a little pricey but this is an investment in yourself and and taking the cheapest route is not always best. I would recommend Dr. M to anyone in the Maryland Area, One look at his pics will have you intrigued!
