I arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am on Friday morning. The IV was in place, the doctor came in, followed shortly by the anesthesiologist and I was prepped and ready to go by 7:30 (right on time). They rolled me into the operating room and away we went. The surgery lasted about 3 hours and everything went smoothly. The doctor removed a total of 3.9 lbs - 850 cc's from my left side and 900 cc's from my right. This was more than double what she predicted she would take, so needless to say I was more than happy! I was in recovery for a total of 5 hours, and then was released home! The anesthesia slowly wore off and pain began, but I feel 100% better than I could have ever expected. I felt immediate results in my breathing and back pain and can't wait to see the final results. Here are a few photos from the day!
