Wow, you look amazing. How are you feeling? Specifics please? Who, where, etc. anything you care to share?
Thank you! Surgeon is Dr. Bowers in sf... I'm feeling ok honestly, the worst part so far was not being able to stand up till today, the nurses are fantastic and help me out with meds or changing positions and stuff
The nurses there blew me away also. Amazing care team over there.
Definitely! I hate asking for little things and feel like a pain in the butt, but they really go above and beyond to make you comfy, with check ins and stuff.. Also the food here is amazing lol
Isn't it?!? I was shocked how much I ate after I woke up from surgery. The mineral oil on the other hand, not a fan. Lol
Ugh yea I don't know what it's like to pour vegetable oil in a shot glass and down it, but I imagine it's not far from drinking that mineral oil
that's kaiser right?
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking
Dr. Bowers is through Kaiser, right?
I don't think so? I think she runs her own practice and then she performs the surgery at mills Penninsula hospital... I don't know exactly what kaiser is so I may be wrong, but that name was never mentioned in anything I saw
Kaiser is an insurance/healthcare organization.
Ok gotcha, I Googled "kaiser Dr. Bowers" and nothing about Marci Bowers showed up in the results... Soo my guess would be a no, she's not a part of that organization
Pretty sure Kaiser is Meltzer.
oh, gotcha ty
Looks amazing ❤️
Thank you much!
Looks great for 2 days.
Could you please add a NSFW tag?
Thank you! And yes definitely.. Umm so I just tried to add the NSFW tag and it won't let me.. The option is greyed out and I can't select it
You look great but you need to mark this NSFW please.
My apologies... Maybe I'm missing something, but I just tried and the option to make it NSFW is greyed out and I can't select it
No you got it. It's marked now :)
Oh gotcha! Lol thank you

Dont do it?
Thank you!
Wow it looks really natural, great results especially for 2 days post op👍 How painful is it for you right now?
Thank you! It's honestly pretty manageable pain wise.. I have been taking a bit of pain medicine, although I'm taking half the dose of percocet as day 1 and some ibprofin... It's uncomfortable more than anything just laying down for so long and getting used to the catheder.

Honestly I thought the post-op pain from SRS was the least of all my surgeries (SRS, FFS, BA, BBL). When I woke up from surgery I wasn't in much pain at all, really, but that's not surprising considering I was hooked up to a morphine pump. Even after moving to Dr. McGinn's B&B (Gaia House) for recovery, it more "discomfort" than pain, and the occasional Vicodin took care of that.
My problem was that the pain during recovery, especially from sitting down (like driving to work and then having to sit in an office) was relentless and didn't stop for weeks. I had a minor infection that prevented a wound from closing, and had to have it packed with iodoform gauze at my six-week follow-up. That was fun. Still, it was almost five months before I felt "normal". Dr. McGinn herself thought SRS was a tougher recovery than FFS (she's had both), but it's a different kind of pain. FFS was intensely painful for about three days, then a couple of weeks of minor pain. SRS wasn't very painful at all for the first few days, but then it was a marathon of low-level pain for weeks and weeks.
Yeah I agree with this thought. SRS for me has been much much worse pain management wise than FFS ever was.

Yep, the nurses here are fantastic.
Out of curiosity, how long do you have to have to have the catheter in post-op?
1 week. I get it, as well as the internal packing, removed on Wednesday
That sounds doable
That honestly look incredible.
Also I like your hip bones. Im weird.
Haha nothing weird about liking someone's anatomy, thank you!

Yes I have! Well not super recently but about 2 years ago I lost a pretty significant amount of weight

I've been pretty good about diet and exciercise since I lost the weight, and it's tightened up a bit.. Maybe it will tighten up more over time but I don't really care to do any procedures for it. it's just my body and I'm comfortable with it lol
You look really good
Thank you!
