Hi all,
I am WAAAY excited since I just made my deposit for surgery this morning. I'll be having SRS on May 14th! It's so surreal at the moment, it's hard to believe that this is actually happening. I'm sure it will all hit me soon, though.
Lia
Congrats and big hugs honey.....
That's sooo great, Lia. Congratulations!!!

Chettawut. Mainly a money issue, but I'm confident, and I believe he's definitely underpriced.
Lia
I know someone who's going to him in March.
Good luck with your SRS when the time comes Lia :)
Congrats!

Hi Lia
I had mine done by Chettawut last October, and I can tell you that you'll be in good hands, he's truly gifted and very kind and gracious...and I'm very happy for you!

Congratulations Lia! I am so happy for you.
Thanks to all who left a kind note. I'm at the three month mark today, just close enough to feel anxious and just far away enough to feel unreal. Right now my focus is on getting all the money together (I'm going the student loan route) and quitting smoking (I know, very bad, but I'm having some success and certain I'll be "quit" soon). In the meantime, if anyone else happens to have Chettawut stories or experiences, I would be very happy to hear them.
Lia
Good luck Lia, it is a surreal moment, you'v a great journey ahead of you, its a great feeling when its all over, the start of the rest of your life, its fantastic to feel complete.

Clueless

Super big congratz.
Congrats Lia, May isn't that far now. :)

Hey! Thanks for thinking of me. I'm sitting in the hospital room right now waiting for my surgery time. Should be a couple of hours from now. I am SOOOO hungry. I start to think about what my first real meal will be once I can eat again, but I have to stop, it makes my stomach growl!
Lia
Ok, Lia, how are you and how dja feel? hahahaha Congratulations!!
Hi again all,
Oy Gott, it's been two days now since the surgery, and I'm approaching lucid again. The pain was absolutely awful from the bed (back pressure from having to stay in the same position) but it seems to be getting better since they upped the dosages. I might not have to break into my percocet stash I brought from home. Anyways, I can't write so well now, just wanted to give an update.
Lia
Being stuck in bed is no fun. See if its ok for the nurses to turn you on your side (with a pillow between your Knees) I did this for the first few days and after that I could do it myself.
Don't be afraid to ask for painkillers, they won't know you need extra unless you ask and they will help you sleep. You are unlikely to get hooked on opiates in just a few days.
You will soon be up and about anyway.

Hang in there Lia! Do everything they say. Couldn't you ask for anything stronger than the P vitamin ;) , like the
happy liquid, for instance? ;) Take care of yourself. All of this will be over before you know it :)

Congrats, Lia!
I hope the pain has subsided now?
Best wishes for a smooth and quick recovery!
