Surgeon Testimonial

Russell Gornichec
My first impression of Dr. Gornichec was that he was nice looking :) He was professional and right to the point. His staff are all nice. He addressed all of the risks of surgery to me during my visit. I had my surgery with only a minor complication. I needed to drain, he fixed me and I'm fine. I've had NO other complications. I think he's a very good surgeon. While I was in the hospital he was very caring and concerned. He kept me a little longer because of my draining. So to sum it up he has great bedside manner and he's a compitent surgeon. 2 our of 2! Can't do any better then that!

    I went to visit Kim today. She looked great, with a great big smile on her face!! She is in quite a bit of pain, but she says "it will all be worth it". What a great attitude!! I know you are going to do great, Kim!! You are an inspiration to me and I hope I can do as well as you!! Will keep you in my prayers.

Things are going much better
on September 10, 2009 3:19 pm
Its hard to believe its been a week today since my surgery.  All the guilt I was feeling over having the surgery in the first place, but especially since my father-in-law's passing is gone.  Whats done is done and no one seems to think I'm the terrible daughter-in-law who had surgery when everything was going on.

I went to the PS for my 1 week visit today.  I was so scared.  I was shaking and wishing I had taken a valium.  I just knew they were going to hurt me.  My husband chose not to stay in the proceedure room with me while they removed all my tape and did minor touch ups along with removing all 4 of my drains.  I was really worried that was going to hurt.  But to my surprise, it just felt weird.  I don't hurt and I have only had 1 pain pill today and no naps.  I actually feel pretty good.  I'm tired now, but I'm doing much better then I expected. 

I love my new bod.  I NEVER in a million years expected my breasts to be so pretty.  Even swollen as they are and not even close to being in the position they should be in, I am very happy.  I got to see my belly button today.  I have one!!!  I haven't seen it in so long!  I feel better then I did when I was a teenager.  I know I'm not playboy material, but I'm better then 41 year old grandma material!  LOL!  Thats more then enough for me.

I know I have a long way to go and I'm not finished, but for me right now, I'm pretty darn happy.

I hope I can inspire someone else, and tell them that as scarey as this is...For me it has been so worth it. 

Hugs for now!  Too tired too keep typing!
Kim J!
