thanks anonymous.
so i called my ps yesterday. talked to one of his receptionists. i'm itching INCREDIBLY.
dr suess used a drain that is in my areola. it looks like a small straw that is bent at the exit and cut in half. it is in alot of gauze. when i adjusted my vest i could tell i pulled alittle on the drain. it hurt like a MOTHER F%%KER. my left side is much more tender and sore then my right.
so she ended up calling me back because she phoned the dr. they changed my follow up day to today instead of friday. said itching is normal. i'm finally gonna see some results. i understand that i'm a bit swollen and getting more swollen. i've read all of the stories and on other websites. (this one is the best). i had asked how much was removed from me. she said the doc told her 250cc's of fat was lipo'd. and 1 1/2 to 2 oz's of tissue and fat was removed from each breast.
during surgery i remember waking up. i was heavily sedated. i thought it was a dream, but they told me i indeed did wake up. i could feel slight tugging and zero pain on my right side. i remember him saying he was halfway done, then i passed out again. i woke up after surgery as they were moving me to the post op bed, i vaguely remember them showing me the jar or vile i'm not sure what it was of my fat from lipo. and a metal tray with 2 different sized amounts of tissue.
i immidiatly started to cry, and i mean ball. i was so happy, something i've never felt before. just typing all of this is making me tear up so much. i am incredible emotional about this condition. all the mental shit we go through was finally gone. there has never been a time in my life that i've ever experienced this amount of great happiness. i was completely overwhelmed. i dont remember how i left the office but was told i was in a wheel chair, my mother told me i was balling the whole way to the car and partially on the ride home. i vaguely rememeber talking to her.
the funny part. (well to me). my mom told me that i openly talked about how i had tried cocaine and ecstasy in my past. she said she was shocked how open and honest i was. she said i was delusional and the only way i could stay seated was because the door held me up as i leaned against it. i have zero memory of how i got in the house to lay down.
i love my mother and i'm happy she was by my side. she is an RN. i had talked to dr delagato and asked if she could be present during surgery. he said no. i found dr suess and while i was talking to them directly before surgery he said if i had asked she could have been there with no problem.
i wanted that because when i first talked to my mother about this condition, she thought it was because i had been heavy as a kid. shes a person that cuts you off to assume what you would say. hard to keep her listening. but i showed her this website and she as since given me the support i needed, after all i did speak to her first about my problem.
all in all. i'm happy to recover, i look forward to each day following today. i did pull back my bandage enough to look and i look like a normal beautiful male chest. i'm proud, i'm grateful, and i support anyone that is considering the surgery, i will gladly talk to anyone by message, im, here, or a phone call. i want anyone here to do what is needed to compete yourself. i have.
this is a very emotional post for me. i hope and respect that each of you that reads this, if you still need/want surgery to save up for it, get it done, and feel the tremendous weight lifted that i feel now.
this is such a wonderful website.
i hope to have the doc's assistant take some pics with my camera to share with all of you, and keep for myself.
i was so scared to talk bout this condition. now i am open and just begining to speak on my myspace and facebook. i dont want to hide it any longer
