Update - saw breast surgeon - sleeve a go for Tuesday

 For those of you who have followed my breast biopsy/ abscess - surgery cancellation - rescheduling saga - here goes:

went to breast surgeon yesterday - had huge hematoma aspirated  - no more infection after course of antibiotics - aspiration has helped with some of the breast pain - dr said she could only get about half of hematoma material due to thickness of old blood in it so I still have a golfball sized hematoma but it was tennis ball size so that is some improvement.

My sleeve surgeon called and asked that I come in so he could check for himself and I just got back  (1 1/2 hr each way) - he said unless it gets worse before Tueday then I'm a go for surgery on Oct 2!!!
Finally - it has been a long road.  Now I just have to make sure I don't catch a cold or have an accident, lol.  

Now the surgery nerves are setting in - not afraid of the surgery but have concerns about blood clots, dehydration, leak, etc.  I am self pay and that includes 30 days of complication coverage but I live 1 1/2 hrs away so if I have to go to local hospital, I am on my own.  So believe me I will be super vigilant about following directions and my surgeon's plan.

So thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and support - I'm sure I'll be posting again before Tuesday - I'm sure my anxiety will bubble up and make an appearance on the boards, lol.

 Sounds like overall it is generally good news!  Congrats on your surgery, I hope it goes well@@

Hi Paula

I'm so happy for you that you are going to have your surgery next week.  I've followed your trek through all the problems you've had and it's so good to learn that things are going much better for you.

Please keep up posted on your progress with your sleeve.  I'm 3 months out as of yesterday and it's been such a great journey thus far.  I wish for you to have the same easy recovery that I had.

Welcome aboard -- there's lot of room here for you on the loser's bench! 

Good luck......

Hey there- Congratulations! You took care of that quickly! I am so happy for you that your surgery was not derailed as you thought it would be.Will keep you in my prayers! Right behind you on Oct 4th.

 Thanks. I was scheduled for Sept 18 - that got canceled due to breast biopsy - was good news no cancer but because of infection - the surgery was canceled. 
Luckily got back on the schedule for Oct 2 - and got infection under control - so it's a go. 

Paula, Sounds like you have been through your share of difficulties. So you are due to have everything go smoothly from here on out. I live in Ohio also where are you at, and who is your Dr?

 I live in northeast Ohio - going to Cleveland for surgery. I know where Zanesville is - where are you going for surgery?

I used to live in Lake Milton, Austintown area. I'm going to Journeylite, Dr Trace Curry. He does his surgery out of Cinnsey, but there is an office in Columbus I can have my pre-op and follow-up done. best of luck to you

 I don't live too far from Austintown. I'm from Cincy originally and thought of going to Dr Curry - just a little far but he had a good self pay price and a good reputation. No family left in Cincy but have sons in  the Cleveland area - so that helped make my decision.   When is your surgery?  

Don't have a date yet. You can't go wrong with Cleveland. Take care
