1 WK post op, PS

Hi all, I promised Elissa that I'd fess up on here. I had my TT, hernia repair and arms done last Tuesday with Dr. Kathryn Warren (Christiana Cosmetic Consultants). It's sore, and I have problems with dizziness after any anesthesia, but all in all I don't feel too badly (except for the cold which makes me cough and man that HURTS!!). Saturday I spent from 2-9 at the baseball fields with my son, so I guess I'm doing well. LOL. I had a drain in each arm (which were removed today) and two drains in the private area, one of which was removed today. That feels SOOOO much better. I'm very numb, everywhere.. I feel like Frankensteins Bride.. all these seams and can't feel anything when I shower. I am taking pics and will share soon. I really love Dr. Warren. She was my second opinion, my first was with Dr. Danyo. I did not like him at all, or his office staff. I'll post more on why on the PS review forum. I like the way Dr. Warren spoke with me in my initial consultation, very infomative and supportive. So far, I like the way my incisions look, very uniform and neat ( I was scared of the lines being crooked.lol ) I had a lot of muscle repair done, and I feel she went above and beyond what another surgeon might have done (you know.. just get the basics done....). Oh..and btw.. the morning of my surgery, I was 16# from goal. NOT the ideal weight for my height goal.. ... (I'd be skeletal....)but the goal that Dr. Irgau and I thought I'd be happy with before I lost even one ounce. It's funny how the more we lose the more we want to lose. I never wanted to be Twiggy, just healthy and energized. So... So all this just two weeks after having the internal hernia repair. It's been a fun month! Thanks for listening.. T

Tina, Congratulations on the successful TT and hernia repair. I'm glad to hear that everything went so well. I bet we won't be able to recognize you at the next meeting!!!! Ken

Congratulations Tina, my son had Dr. Warren as a surgeon to remove his birthmark from his forehead. He had 3 surgeries and each done by her, what a wonderful job she did. I love her!! I would recommend her also. Christie

Congratulations Tina. Can't wait to hear all about it and see if you are satisfied with your results. Hope you mend quickly. See ya soon. Penny

Tina, Glad to hear that everything is going so well. Love that positive attitude. Look forward to talking with you about the PS. Stay healthy and I will see you soon. Your bud, Rob

Tina, Glad things went well for you. I have been thinking about PS but that is all right now is thinking. I am not sure I want to go under the knife again. I was scared the first time....Glad to hear your recommendation of the surgeon. I will keep Dr. Warren in mind when I go shopping! Keep up the good work and the 16# will be gone in no time. Debbie

Wow, Debbie. Nice pic.

Thank you! It was one of the hardest things I had to do....Amazing huh. I just could not let the old pic go! Debbie

Hi Tina, What can I say? You have SO totally hung in there this last year and a half...and through some really rough times. Look at you now! Sassshhaaaaay baby! lol, teach me how! Seriously tho, you reached a goal that you and the good doc are comfy with and managed to stay on track. I'm very proud of you and all your accomplishments. Linda

Wow, Tina. Good for you. Glad you are on the mend.... I'll bet you look awesome -- can't wait to see you. Dianne
