What I wish I would've known

A lot of women ask what are things you wish you would've known or did??
Well I'll first off start with I wish I woulda been prepared for the emotional roller coaster that comes along with it..... I heard everything else under the sun.... That I may need or what may Hellen from infection to seromas to constipation....
But this has been by far the hardest emotionally, and on my husband too... I swear it's like I'm frkn pregnant all over, I cry, I laugh, I feel useless, I can't do for my kids the way I normally could... I feel defeated... I feel like I'm super woman why the hell cant I get through this??
Well I can... And I will, but it's going to take time.
Good luck
Everyday is trial and error.

Drains out

Definitely didn't hurt like I thought it would more of a funny feeing and some pressure like a urine catheter almost! But feel so much better know that they're gone! I'm not restricted as much and feel free. Day 7, and constipation is a mother F#€£%* just trying to push makes my stomach spasm.... I finally went today, but now that the blockage is gone I have loose stool I'm conga ctry running to the bathroom!!
ADVICE
take stool softener a week pre op and post op NEVER miss a dose.... If you don't go for more than 2 days drink milk of magnesia with tons of water...
I really wish I would've listened....

My experience with Dr Silverton was absolutely amazing. From the start at my consultation he immediately eased all my worries answered my bazillion questions and made me feel 100% completely comfortable. Just knowing he's also an artist outside of his practice is an uplifting thought, you definitely see his perfectionist come out in all his work! And his office staff is awesome!! From Stephanie's warm smile and hello as you walk through the door to Marisa's constant answering every tiny question you have no matter the time of day and always happy to! I'm only 11 days post op I can for sure say I made the right decision!! And sure glad I did!!
