1st Consulation Scared the C___ out of Me. 2nd Consultaion and I Was Sold! - Portland, OR

Hello ladies,
It's been awhile since I've been on here. I can't get my laptop to talk to this website for some reason and until today, I've stayed out of my home office so I wouldn't start trying to work.
Surgery was a bit complicated for me but tomorrow will be 4 weeks since the big day and I am doing better. It's all roses from here on in.....ha ha.
I will try to post pics but I'm afraid that they may be too big and I'm not sure how to make them smaller. I am having a slight issue with strange swelling under my right breast but my Dr isn't worried. He feels like it will all be good by the 6 month mark. I'm 3.5 lbs lighter now due to the breast reduction and 3 more lbs lighter due to the tummy tuck. Sure wish the scale showed it but I guess that will come in time. Apparently, I'm a slow healer too. Slow but happy!
I hope you all are doing well.

Almost 2 weeks since surgery and I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to feel all better so that I can start getting excited about my new body.
I will post pics soon. Now that I am able to move and not throw up... I should be able to manage it...hope everyone is doing well. I'm thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers. :)

Final pre op was yesterday. I love, love, love my nurse! She is so kind and thoughtful. I could tell the Dr was tired (saw him @ 5:oo PM) but he was very attentive and explained everything I needed him to explain. My nurse is Regina and she is the one who took my pictures (YUCK!!!@!) Can't even begin to say how hard it was to get through that part. She was wonderful! I work in the medical field and have been around Dr's and caregivers for more than half my life and I know what goes on in their heads when you're naked in their exam rooms and it has nothing to do with you being naked in thier exam rooms. They are focused on taking care of you and helping you get better. There is a disconnect that happens and they just don't see the situation like we do. That being said, my Dr and nurse both are very aware that although me being naked is no biggie to them, it is HUGE to me and they are so great about making sure that I am comfortable. I was so very impressed. My Dr has now been on the top 100 Dr's in Portland Oregon list for and least the last 3 years. His staff say he is an artist. I feel so much better after my visit yesterday. Which says alot for the staff considering the whole picture taking thing.
I am looking forward to comparing my before pics to my after pics. They will be giving me copies since I told them about this website and that I wanted to post them here.
So now I have the lists of the supplies I need and the prep work I need to do at home. That will keep my mind occupied for a bit. I'm afraid that I will be spending every waking moment thinking about my upcoming surgery! I'm glad that I get to spend my days taking care of patients in my clinic and that really keeps my mind off of me.
25 days to go.....
