Thanks for sharing your story! The detailed information you have about teaching hospitals in New York is really helpful. I am considering a teaching hospital. From your blog, I am interested in a consultation with Dr. Torina. (I just looked him up and filled out the mini-online form.) You list $6,932 as the price you paid for your surgery. What was the actual consultation fee? Was it applied to your surgery? Also, did Dr. Torina provide you with any "before and after" pictures of his work? Last question :-)...what was the consultation experience like with the doctor? Thanks so much for your time!

Hi Amina, Actually I did not go through the residency program. Dr. Torina is the Professor of surgery. He is the only person that will perform surgery on you. He did have a team, but I met with them the day of. The consultation was $250.00, however I did not pay that because I had a hernia. The $250 will be applied to your surgery. I did not ask to see photos of his work, I am not sure if he has any. I found Dr. Torina and his entire staff professional. Their ethics were awesome!

Day 8

Lexie622August 1, 2014
So I have not been wearing my binder 24 hours a day. I'm up and walking around, but the back pain is present. I stopped taking the pain meds, just over the counter. My back only hurts when I'm up and doing things. When I'm sitting I'm fine.
I can tell I lost weight. I put on clothing that I had previous to the surgery, that adjust to your waist and they are big. I think I lost some of my thighs. :( but I know your weight goes all over the place. I will be posting photos soon.

The pain is not unbearable. Every day it does get better. The first two-three days you truly rest. On the fourth day I came out the bedroom sat in the reclining chair. The first day I took my medicine on time. On the second days I could wait every 6 hours. Now I barely take it (maybe once a day). I went to see my PS, and he said the surgery went well. My left drain was removed. Next week they will remove the right drain. I was told I cannot bathe until my drains are removed. I can only sponge bath. I do not have any bruising or excessive swelling. Bless Dr. Torina for this.
On the side note my back broke out really bad possibly from the binder and there was a lot of cotton between the binder and my skin. I will update in a few with some photos.
