55 Yrs, African American Woman, Need Lower Face & Neck Rejuvenation - Stratford, NJ

Really hard to believe, but I was actually RELIEVED when my cardiologist said I was not eligible for surgery. I was having a really hard time accepting that Dr. Corrado would be operating on me. I wouldn't cancel it myself because the timing was right and I had already paid my money. I kept telling myself that I should ignore the uneasiness that i felt. I didn't have to like him. "You're knit-picking", I told myself. I went against my better judgement and kept my appointment, planning not to say much at all for fear that if he said another thing that was pompous, defensive, or condescending, i would jump off the table and drive home in my hospital gown! So...God stepped in and canceled it for me. What a horrible experience! i just keep thinking that if I had gone through with it, what if I had had a difficult recovery? The aftercare would have been horrible with a Dr. that you did not trust, nor feel comfortable with. Lesson learned. Listen to your gut!! I'm so glad I didn't go through with it!!!!

So frustrating. My cardiologist did not approve my surgery, and I was psyched! You all know how long it takes a person to really wrap their mind around having the procedure!! you envision the day approaching, the morning of the actual surgery, waking up after the surgery, those initial painful days, as well as the day you realize you're on the to healing. Damn! But clearly, I don't want any procedure if my heart can't handle it at this time. I'm not giving up though!!
