| Surgery Day |
I was taken to the hospital on the day of
surgery by my good friend, who also was an orthopedic surgery
resident.
I arrived at the hospital, checked in, and signed the consent
for the "Removal bilateral breast implants, Replacing bilateral
saline implants: "which
is surgery to remove and replace my breast implants.
I was anxious to the point that I thought about canceling and
leaving the hospital. My friend decided to stay with me until
they took me into the operating room. The nurse gave me some
medication to relax me. My scheduled surgery time passed, and
the nurse said we were just waiting for Dr. Kagan to arrive.
My friend said that I was babbling and falling asleep between
babbling. It was getting late, so with no sign of Dr. Kagan,
my friend decided to leave because he needed to get to work.
After an hour and forty-five minutes had passed Dr. Kagan arrived,
I was very groggy, but I remember him being in his street clothes
while talking to me in the holding area. The next thing I remember
is waking up in the recovery room and my friend picking me up
a short time later. I was in a great deal of pain. The surgery
took a total of four hours and fifteen minutes.
