Title: One Week Post-Op with Brassard
Post by: nicolegn7 on November 12, 2014, 04:07:42 PM
Ok, So I finally feel myself again and feel like sharing my knowledge and experience to help others.

I'm young and very healthy which Im pretty sure has helped me healed good. I went to Dr. Brassard in Montreal and let me tell you, I am loving my results already. Only 1 week and I barely notice any scaring and can see it will turn out so good! Best decision ever to see him. I am very swollen but can tell once swelling goes down it will be so nice!

I was considering on going to Supporn but so glad I did not for a few reasons. 1). Supporn's technique is much more painful and requires a longer recovery. It took me a week to feel somewhat normal again and be productive with Brassard, imagine with Supporn?! Brassard is great at what he does. He does like 500 girls a year, his technique is perfect. You get sensation, I have just over 6' of depth and the aesthetics are wonderful! Plus it's North America, everything is included and the nurses are pretty good. Dr. Belanger is also great and she brings new technique's with her from her training in Europe. A more advance technique which from what I understand makes sensation better, aestetics even nicer than before and less scaring! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I am very satisfied and I am only 1 week out.

Your sway with the hips helped you :p. Anyway I'm 6hrs post, opted for spinal and was 1/2 awake during the procedure. Haven't had any painkillers so far. A bit sore but more like a 4-5 scale. Moved my feet and standing no problem too.

I can heard them talking, but too sleepy to care. Didn't feel anything either since i was numb from waist down.

Ha, so I'm not the only one! That's the thing, you don't care because you're in an altered state of consciousness, like being extremely drunk. In my stupor, I believe I may have tried to say something, that's how it felt, anyway.

I am thrilled for you two, nicolegn7 and jfong!  It has to be nice to have it all come to fruition and realize positive results.
Didn't Montreal just get hit with a snow storm?  Try and stay warm and I wish you speedy recoveries. :)

Glad so far things are good.

Relax the first few days at the residence, to soon things will get hectic.

I live here in Montreal and my french is not that great. My roomie spoke 0 English.

Yes makes it not so enjoyable.

Yeap, everything is looking good on my end, not sure about her. Just not enjoying this "need to pee" and constipation feeling lol. Counting the days when it's all removed.

Congrats Jfong and Nicole!  I hope your recovery goes super smoothly.  My flight for Montreal leaves in one week and I can't believe it.   Take care.

Btw just come to my mind, how come noone ever recommended to bring an egg timer? It will be so handy during the sitz bath, airing the privates and dilation. Of course if you have a smartphone with voice command that will be even better.

jfong : Oh, yes, I wished the same thing!! :)

I now have a couple of these in pink : http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/home-gift-mark-my-time-assorted-neon-color-digital-bookmark/27890757?cm_mmc=google+product+search-_-q000000633-_-9780976142508pla-_-specialtyproductsbn-_-q000000633-_-9780976142508&ean=9780976142508&isbn=9780976142508&kpid=9780976142508&r=1

Cheap, efficient, and easy to keep track of when my hands are full with dilation. But I would have loved such a thing in the residence.
