Dr. Garramone Question

[Lex]

For those of you that have had top surgery with Garramone, exactly how many days was it from the surgery to the reveal?

I'm trying to figure out an approximate timeline and budget.

Thanks.

I haven't had surgery but my friend did. It's usually 7 days between surgery and reveal.

My surgery is on the 17th of October with dr g and reveal is 6 days later

My preop appointment was on a Wednesday, my surgery was on a Thursday and the reveal and flight home were on the following Wednesday.  I was able to get a red eye flight Tuesday night to arrive early Wednesday morning for my afternoon preop appointment, and took a later flight on Wednesday home.

Overall, I had to pay for seven nights of lodging, and I would say this is absolute minimum, arriving day of preop and leaving day of reveal.

I'm not quite as young and find flying quite stressful these days (not so much the flight but all the airport "Security Theater"). I plan on flying in the day before and then flying out the day after the reveal. Also pretty much decided to go to Dr. G and stay at New Beginnings (thanks Daniel as I think I learned about this place from your review-- can I pm you?)

Most definitely.  If my experiences can help others, all the better.

Congrats - If I may ask, was that the first date you were able to get, or did you choose it that far out? Not quite ready to call him yet, but still trying to get a grasp on how far in advance I need to schedule

Thanks. That was a date I chose because it was the earliest time my family was able to get time off. When I first called in July they actually had the earliest date in October, which was surprising. They are extremely patient and nice. I called a few times before I settled on a date.
