Surgeon Testimonial

Frank J. Borao, M.D.
Dr. Borao ROCKS! When I first met him, he was friendly, confident, listened to all my concerns, and was reassuring. I knew then and there that he was the surgeon for me!



His office staff is quite friendly, and Laura works her tush off to get all the paperwork through...she's amazing!



Aftercare is essential, and there is a structured program both pre-and post- operatively. No silly hoops to go through - don't get me wrong, there was alot to do, but it was all necessary, and made me feel completely sure that wls was the way for me to go.



Dr. Borao ran into ALOT of trouble when he got inside my torso, but he was a trooper, stuck it out, and cleared up some previous pre-existing issues that we didn't know were there (lots of scar tissue). Probably saved my life. I was surprised that he didn't just take a look inside, say, "well, this is a little more than we bargained for", and close me up. Nope. He did it all. I can't tell you (or him) how grateful I am. I can't recommend him enough!

bummer
posted on 7/6/07 10:28 am
turns out, i'm allergic to the stitches they put in me, monocrill. so my body's been rejecting the stitches, and 2 of my 5 sites are infected. the real problem i have with that is - NO POOL for the rest of the summer. serious bummer.

when i saw dr. b, there was fishing line coming out of me - i asked just what he'd been doing in there! that's when he told me i "spit stitches". anyway, they're all out now, and i'm on the mend. i'll have supplementary stitching (NOT with monocrill) in a few weeks to close the gaping hole in my side. other than that, about 3 weeks til my first fill, and it's all numbers down after that!

people are starting to notice ("oh, i see it in your face"), but i've got one particular neighbor who keeps telling me how sexy i'm going to be. i don't want to be sexy. i want to be healthy. i don't know why she's getting on my nerves, but i want her to stop. she doesn't do well with no, so, i guess i'd better come up with some cute responses!

ttfn!

  • Hi Chris, I just wanted to come by and say thanks for the support. I am now 4 days out and finally feeling better after a couple rough days.

    I'm sorry to hear about the allergy to the stiches and especially the no pool thing. I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope things will continue to heal. I'm anxious to hear how your first fill goes too.

    Oh and by the way, I know wanting to be healthy is the number 1 priority, but if you turn out to be sexy while being healthy is that such a bad thing ; -)

    Beth
