Surgeon Testimonial

Matthew D. Davidson, M.D
He's really cool down to earth and a lot cuter in person then in his picture online. He explained everything in detail and his expectations of the surgery and what my expectiations were to be. He didn't hesitate to answer any questions that I had for him and he said that it would be ok to give him a call if I had any questions later.

13 Days out
on May 25, 2008 7:01 pm
Well I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm doing well.  This past Thursday was the last time I stepped on the scale and I was down 14 lbs. YEAAAA!!!
I have my 1st post op appt with Dr. Davidson on Wednesday so instead of going back to work tomorrow I wont be going back until Wednesday cause I cannot get my doc excuse until then, 
I'm not really happy about going back to work, but I gotta do what I gotta do but I will say that I made moves while off and I doubt that I'll still be at my job by the end of the year.  This year has been all about changes and my job will hopefully be another one of those things especially with this surgery cause I no longer want a Job sittin on my a$$, I never had a sit down job until 3.5 years ago and somehow I've never completed adapted to it, anyways....
I haven't noticed the weight loss but my mom does, I've only worn 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of dress pants so I dont know if my clothes fit differently, but come wednesday I'll know.
OH I FORGOT TO MENTION.  I got an infection in one of my incisions so I am on anitbiotics to get rid of it, but other than that, everythings been great....Well enough of boring talk....Unitl next time....

Ok let me say that no one described the amount of pain that I would be in when I woke up from surgery...OMG!!!!!

And lets add to that the fact that I had to pee as soon as I woke up so that just made things worst and I started crying because I hurt so much but I really had to pee and I didnt want to get out of the bed, so of course I ended up getting up and I was in an emense amout of pain.

But I'll say today I'm a lot better, I took the surgery tape off my cuts and 2 of the 5 cuts looks rather nasty and I can only hope that once they've had a chance to breathe and heal better they'll look better.  But I will def as the surgeron for a prescription for mederma cause its like $30 a tube and I would like to get a script for it so I dont have to pay full price for it.

Well I'm out but I would like to say that I've lost 6 lbs already.

Surgery
on May 9, 2008 5:34 am
Well today is Friday and Monday I will be having my surgery.  I was cool up until this week.  I made the mistake of watching the procedure again on OR-Live.com and lets just say it was more nerve racking this time seeing it since I am more close to the actual procedure. 
Today I'm supposed to get a call from the surgeons office about what time I have to be at the hosiptal.  I'm still pretty cool right now but I know Sunday I'm not going to be able to sleep and Monday morning my stomach is going to be in knots and I'll have that urge to throw up...
But on a less weiry note on the 26th I'm moving out of my parents house to my own apartment.  My mom thinks that its time for me to be out on my own and stand on my own two feet.  I've never lived alone, in college I had 3 roommates and then when I moved to Philly I stayed with my best friend and then my fiance, so its never been just me.
Anddddddd....I had an interview yesterday for a part time job with this collection agency, the job seems ok, and it pays decent money and then best part is I wont burn much gax driving there from my full time job because its literally around the corner.
But thats all I have for now...
