Title: Just had my SRS!
Post by: Melody Maia on February 07, 2012, 05:04:24 PM
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know I'm out of surgery and doing fine. A little discomfort, but nothing major. Mostly it is a constant feeling of needing to pee. Haven't seen Dr. Bowers yet. May not until tomorrow. Will try to post updates when I can.

SHE'S ALIVE! YAY!

This is a good, good, good sign replying this quick after surgery! Even though you have a Foley/Urinary catheter in yer Bladder, a common response from patients is feeling like they need to pee.

Great news Melody and good to see you posting again.

Dr. Bowers said I did great. She was very pleased with my results and my skin stretched beautifully. Got just about 6" in depth! I have narrow pelvic bones though so I won't be able to take the #4 dilator or pass a baby head through there. Only c-sections for me! ;D Still, very pleased with the depth considering my starting materials were not, eh, impressive. Heh.

Oh that's great!
I think I won't mind getting the surgery.
Even though the thought gives me a headache.

I hope to know how it goes, and I think you're great.
I think a lot of people are great, you are great and courageous.

I hope you heal well, and quick.

This is great news!

Dr. Bowers operates not far from my home. I hope she's still practicing when my time comes along. I've heard nothing but good about her and her work.
