Hi everyone. When I arrived at the surgery center I was signed in. Then we (my husband and myself)sat and waited for further direction. Fifteen min. later I was undressing and slipping into the surgery gown. At 8:am I was under the care of my marvelous surgeons talented hands. At about 9:40 I was in recovery. At 10:15 I was in my room. The care given to me at the Fresno Surgery center was outstanding. I had one minor surgery problem, as one of the stapels came undone due to liquid pressure under the skin. That area needed to drain so it sprung a leak. It was frightening at first as anything red looked like blood to me but it was safe blood as it was mixed with healing fluid which is watery-red. I was released 1 day later then is normal but they wanted to make sure there was no infection in that area. So this is the latest up-date on my Jan 17th surgery. I hope this helps you a little with your up and coming surgery. If you have any questions Ill do my best to answer them. My email is [email protected]
