For your preop appointment did you meet with the doctor or just the nurse? Poll to follow.

*starkarros* · 08-13-2008, 01:03 PM

I saw both ~ I saw the nurse who took blood for the blood test and she took my before pictures. She let me try on all the sizers again and we went over some things. Then my PS came in and looked at my boobs and gave me his opinion again and lucky he did. I was originally going to get 350cc in my left and 300cc in my right to even them out...from how the sizers looked...but he looked at me head on and said he didnt think my difference in size was that much so go with 350cc and 325cc..I said okay I trust you...SO GLAD I did because my boobs are even now

~ and he went over things again with me and anwered any other questions I had...

Okay sorry for the rambling lol

I saw the nurse first who took vitals, went over consent, etc. Then my PS came in and we went back over everything that he would be doing with the BA and the lift, and he answered all my questions. He took my before pics, and then helped me try on sizers. It was nice, because I had the opinion of both my PS and the nurse with what looked best. Luckily we all liked the same size range

My preop appt was actually over the phone with the nurse anethesist and she just asked questions like a physical. I did see the nurse and ps right before I walked into his OR room for him to draw on me and take one last set of pics.

MaryJane · 08-13-2008, 05:22 PM

P/S did everything other than paperwork. My P/S was very meticulous to every detail and was very responsible to ensure he covered everything.

I loved him! Very pleased with my choice.

Island_Girl · 08-13-2008, 05:24 PM

I saw my PS first and we went over any other questions that I had and concerns. We met for probably about 20 mins. Then I saw my nurse and took blood, signed papers, took pics and got my scripts.

Hummingbird22 · 08-13-2008, 06:08 PM

My PS was there every step of the way...I never even talked to anyone else (besides the front desk girls) when I'd go to his office: Felt I had a very thorough and informative initial consultation visit, pre-op appointment, and 1-week post-op appointment. I don't think I'd personally be very comfortable with it if I didn't get to see my doctor at any of my appointments...?

Brandandi · 08-13-2008, 08:47 PM

The nurse went over the paperwork and my PS did everything else.

Slinky · 08-13-2008, 11:32 PM

Saw my PS and we looked at pics and talked over size one more time. Also saw the nurse for last minute instructions. Saw the office manager, too, and paid my balance. So there was no turning back!

i think my PS was going over complications with another patient at the time of my pre-op, the RN went over everything with me, but before i left he made sure that he got to see me n go over a few things. =) sO i saw him for a few minutes! =)

lkh · 08-18-2008, 02:45 AM

I saw my PS only at every appointment which I prefer so that I know we are on the same page and he understands all my concerns. He is very thorough and went over everything in detail.

Ina · 08-18-2008, 06:04 AM

I had my pre-op right before the surgery so I saw my surgeon for it. It was just a last minute check on size and everything being in order (mammograms, previously taken blood test results, etc).

Midwest Cutie · 08-18-2008, 10:15 AM

My preop was Friday. I saw the doc briefly. He asked if I had any questions, we discussed size/profile. The rest of the time spent was with the nurse.

daisy40063 · 10-02-2008, 03:35 PM

I saw the dr but it was only for like a second

tampa229 · 10-04-2008, 01:00 AM

Mine was at the surgery center, so I made another one with my PS himself.

So I basically have seen the PS 3 times and the surgery center once.

Everything looks like it cleared, since I am in on MONdAY!
