My first consult was with Dr.Peterson 3 years ago since then I have been contemplating and researching the surgery as there is a lot to it mentally, physically and monetary. I had three consults 2 with Dr. Peterson and one with a surgeon in Kamloops. During my consults the staff and Dr. Peterson were great answering all my questions.

Experience of surgery

Saskatoon63
My experience with Dr Peterson and his staff was great. I felt comfortable there and therefor less stress for me. I have not seen all my results yet as I need to keep the gauze on my tummy for 3 days. As per discussed with Dr Peterson I was to have a full tummy tuck with liposuction and 375 high-profile implants. I woke up from the surgery with minimal pain the anesthesiologist was awesome. I had a full hysterectomy 9 months ago and was in major pain upon waking so I was quite pleased! I did not get to talk to Dr Peterson after my surgery as he was performing surgery on someone else at the time . My husband and I spent the night at a hotel next to the surgical center it was good but it was really hard to get into bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt awful I experienced the same feeling as when I went under the anesthetic. Luckily I was able to call out to my husband who came into the room and then I blacked out. He said he was calling my name loud and had to slap my face to make me come to. It was a bit scary for him. After talking to the nurse this morning we think it was too much tramazole (2 tablets every 4 hours) painkiller so I bumped back down to 1 and it seems to be doing the trick. Will update when I get to see tummy results.

Oh my gosh! That is scary. Let us know how cutting back the pain meds is working for you. Hope you heal well and fast. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely feeling more sore than yesterday. Does day 3 get better? I am really happy I have my husband to get me up and down to the washroom. I got a walker to help move around while hunched over but it's no good as I can't put any weight on my arms from the augmentation. Could have skipped renting it. Staggering taking Tylenol 3 and ibuprofen to keep the pain level down. I'd say the hardest part so far is walking hunched over (back strain) and bra and corset digging into my sides. Basically I feel bruised and battered from the top of my thighs all the way to the top of my chest but I know this is to be expected so just taking it slow. Hopefully tomorrow (day 3) I will feel better.
