Visitors' Stories -- Liz's BA (page 3 of 3) When I first woke up after surgery, I was shaking a little all over. My recovery was harder than I thought not because I was in a lot of pain. Just because I was so uncomfortable. I didn't sleep for 5 days. I had a lot of anxiety. The more I didn't sleep the worse it got. I felt like I was having a nervous break down. I hated the boobs. Not because they were too big because they were perfect. But it was just the anxiety. I really regretted having the surgery I even called the doctors office to have them taken out. Crazy you might think, but I really was in BAD shape. I cant explain it all, I just know that I had some strong feelings that made me wish I had never made this decision. I wanted to go back and undo what I had done. Dr. Bruner was out of town and I spoke to Dr. Green. He was so understanding and asked me all kinds of questions. Along with being so surprised because he had never had anyone ever change their mind. He also probably thought I was crazy. He helped to easy my anxiety and spoke so soft it comforted me I could tell he really felt bad for me and wanted to help. He got me an appointment with Dr. Bruner the day he got in town. My mother in law came over and made me take something to help me sleep. I didn't need the pain meds and was only on Tylenol by day 4. So I took the medicine and slept the day before I saw Dr. Bruner. Oh I felt so much better. Everyone said I would see things in a whole new light if I slept and I did. I was willing to work with it and see how I felt in a week. I can't say enough about Dr. Bruner. He sat with me for an hour and we talked about how I felt. He looked up the medicine I was taking to sleep and made sure I had a prescription. The medicine also helped with the anxiety and I was more relaxed. Family support was great. I could not sit up by myself for about 3 days and could not even open a bottle of pills for 4 days. You can't use any chest muscles for 5 days. I put small pillows under my arms to hold them up and that felt better lying in bed. I was wrapped for about three days then went in to have the drain tubes out and bandages off. I was wrapped in an ace bandage for about a month. You do feel in shock a little after the surgery. At least I did everyone is different that is why each one of our stories are so important. Dr. Bruner talked to me about his whole family and shared things you don't just share with anyone. It was very special to me. When a Dr. gets personal with you, you see them as a real person not just a physician. That day and every check up day Dr. Bruner feels like my friend and so does all the staff. They all took such great care of me like they would there own child. I feel special to have had them all take care of me. I went through some rough times and I know if someone out there is looking for a doctors office that is well qualified and very capable of doing a awesome job you should definitely go see these great people. They not only will make you look and feel great they can be a new found friend also. You wonder how I am now? Well it has been 4 months and 10 days and I could not be happier. Except one thing, I WISH I HAD GONE ALITTLE BIGGER!!! Funny huh! I think 400 cc's would be better. I have implants that can go that big. If you don't understand Dr. Bruner is great at explaining it all but it all depends on the size of the implant that depends on how big you can go. Mine for instances are 400 cc's max. I am at 350 cc's. Beyond that the warranty is no good. I believe Dr. Bruner made me exactly what I asked for. To the size exactly! I just decided I would sill feel comfortable even if I were a little bigger. You never really feel anything inside you and you get so used to the size that it feels normal, like apart of you. I am doing great. Just the first week was hard. And shopping could never be better. My husband is happy to. He also benefited but is really happy because I am. I don't believe there could be any better plastic surgery office out there. If you have a dream go for it! I know you will be happy you did. Just be prepared so if you run into a tough time you'll know what to do to make it a great experience. So remember get plenty of rest after wards know the swelling will go away, the emotion will come back in line and the pain will go away. For some it is a big decision and a big step. Read a lot of stories everyone is different and do all the research you can. Know what you want and be prepared the best you can. |
