He did a presentation at our support group on Tuesday.
What blows my mind is that it is all outpatient!!!
I am having a septoplasty next month and my doc insists it will be inpatient. The good news is that my insurance approved it.
Not so sure I would want to be outpatient with plastics but I have a way to go before I worry about that. Need to start documenting.

I had an abdominoplasty w/ Dr V on March 3.  Very pleased w/ the results.  The scar looks better all the time and the swelling for the most part seems to be gone.  It takes a long time to see final results; Dr V says the complaint department doesn't even open for three months.

I did fine as an outpatient.  I think that's pretty standard.  Maybe you have to stay overnight if you have multiple procedures.  One consult I had wanted to do a complete LBL and that would have required one overnight stay.

Saw Dr V a week later for drain removal.

I am going to have my arms done in 2012.

I think you'll be happy both w/ Dr V and his staff.

I really enjoyed meeting you as well.  I too wished we would have had more time, but there is always OH, email and of course maybe an OH event in our future!!!.

I am glad to know that you made it home safe and sound.  Look forward to hopefully talking with you in the future.

Hugs!

Terri

I was so Happy but was in tears at the same time.!This has definately been a incredible journey so far!
