Well I BE.... I am on my Way ...

GOOD NEWS FIRST ... Well I just got back from the PS .. Dr.Krieger ..  MY BUTT IS HEALED !!! The staff infection is gone !!  My burn is half the size it was last week ... and I have about 2 more weeks to go and it should be completly healed  I am released to go swimming , and get in water .. and .. the best news... SPORTY JILL ... you will appreciate this one .. I CAN WORK OUT .. but .. not until I get released from my PCP from my car wreck injuries... SO as soon as I am mended .. from wreck .. it is back to gym and I can call my personal trainer and start body sculpting again .  We are going to schedule my breast implants and my brachioplasty ( Armlift ) after I get back from my cruise in October . So I will be back in probably the end of the month in Oct. He wants me to be all healed up from everything .. no lingering anything .  I will be working to give Dr.K suggestions on the upcoming plastic surgery seminar they are doing in October . He has also said he would speak at our January conference if I wanted him too .. He is awesome .. I truly adore this man .. and anyone out there thinking about plastics .. you need to see him .. he specializes in Bariatric patients .. and knows his stuff .. and then some ...  The NOT SO GOOD NEWS  I have a hematoma in my abdomen ( TT )  from the car wreck . Dr. K says time and rest will heal it . If it does not start to get better, he will oder a C-scan in 2 weeks .. but it is really gross and hurts .. but I am alive .. thanks to that seatbelt.. Well .. I am on the mend ..  I head to JoAnns tommorow to visit .. rest and do a protein rescue for a lady that has not had any support since her surgey in Nov 06 . JoAnn has been working with her , and I hope to be able to assist further .. she is in dramatic need of protein and follow up . She rarely does her supliments .. and protein . And was in a bad car accident after her first RNY ... and had to have everything redone after her wreck .. so she is a bit shaken . SO .. pray for her .. and for JoAnn and I .. she really needs some friends right now . If we can get her to log on and come on .. maybe you all can help her out too .. we will let you know how it goes ..  OK .. enough from me ..  How was your day ??  Tink

I am soooo happy that you are healed.......and continued healing from the wreck. That means you will be able to play in the ocean when you get here. Yeah!!!! Thanx for the comment on the picture. I was laughing so hard doing the flirty shots. Can't wait to see you at the end of the month.

VA*VA*VA*VVVOOOOOMMMM!!! Check you out!  You sexy thing! LOVE the picture!

Glad to hear that you are FINALLY recovering! I'm hoping to have may surgery with Dr K at the end of Oct, too.  We can be ROOMIES!  HAHAHA!

OMG .. HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE !!!  Let me know what date you choose .. !!  I am so excited .. this is it for me .. I love that man .. I just seen him today .. and I always come away feeling so much better about myself .. He is so well educated in our needs .. I am so glad you chose him .  See you next week !  Tink

I cannot wait!  I hate the fact that I am here in Ohio instead of home scheduling things.  I'm shooting for the 26th, but have to wait until I get home to see what his schedule is like and so-on-and-so-forth. But, after meeting with several local PS's, and weighing my options, the ONLY concern I had with him was the distance, which I felt I could over come.  The others, I had several concerns that I really could not over come.  I mean, one didn't have a very good patient Counselor.  So, while he may be really good, I would have to put up with the aggreviation of dealing with a staff that I did not trust.  I did not find that with Dr. K's office.  I TOTALLY trust his staff to make this a pleasant experience. (Ok, as pleasant as possible).  I really felt like a person and not a number with EVERYONE in his office. In fact, I was over an hour late - I got lost - and they were like, Do not worry.  We will be here when you get here.  They even took the time to "drive" with me on the phone ****il my phone died).  Telling me - turn here, drive here, etc.  They really cared. I just did not fel that with the other Doc I was considering.  Especially when the Counselor couldn't even quote me the correct pricing and had to bother the doc several times.  AND had to call the hospital for the hospital pricing.  They knew why I was there, but she was not very prepared.  So, i question how that would play out later.  Know what I mean???? I wanted a total package and I really feel like I am getting that with Dr. K. And then there is his plan.  He is doing a body lift at one time - Lower body and Boobies.  Next year, I will go back for a thigh lift and implants.  I like the fact that he wants to do 2 surgeries instead of 4 (as the other wanted to do)  he understood my desire for less surgeries (in a safe manner of course) and prefers to do it this way so yor breasts can heal and tighten before you stretch them out with the implants.  He says that it makes for better implant recovery and minimizes the complications/revisions. And then...there is the insurance that he purchases on us in case we have to be admitted for a complication.  My insurance will NOT cover any complications, so knowing that I am covered makes me feel ALOT better. But...thanks to you, Jackie and Donna Mae for recommending him. Now...to get everything scheduled! See ya next week!
