Mel’s Blog: Getting rid of my Baby-pooch
August 8th, 2012
On the days leading up to my abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery, I got more and more anxious. During my pre-operative call with one of the nurses, I shared my anxious feelings. They reassured me that it was a completely normal feeling and many patients experience the very same feeling. The morning of my surgery was completely different – I was excited! I was actually looking forward to NOT thinking about my baby pooch anymore!
The day of surgery was described for me in great detail prior to my surgery. So I was well-prepared and I can honestly say that there were no surprises. My recovery was just as they said it would be – very similar to my c-sections, but a little longer. When I was sent home, I was in a considerable amount of pain, but as soon as I got home and got settled in my own bed, my pain improved. Dr. Bashioum’s instructions were clear and it was imperative that I stay on top of the pain and take all of the medication prescribed. That meant around the clock for the first few days. Ice also helped tremendously. Getting in and out of bed was difficult at first, but I realized that the more I tried it, the easier it got. There was a balance that I had to strike between resting and being somewhat active. I overdid it on post-op day 3, and did not stay hydrated enough. However, some rest and a lot of water made me feel MUCH better.

Patient Comment: Breast Restoration After Pregnancy

I had my breast augmentation done almost two years ago now. Breast augmentation was something I had thought about doing for a long time. After having four kids in seven years, I was not happy at all with how my breasts looked and knew that breast augmentation surgery was a choice for me.
We heard about Dr. Bashioum on the KQRS morning show and decided to at least go have a consultation with him. I could not have been more impressed with Dr. Bashioum and his staff. They were some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They took time to explain everything to us, were honest, and answered any question my husband or I had.
After my consultation I knew this was the only place I wanted to have my breast augmentation done. I could not have been happier with the results of my surgery. My confidence went up and I loved the way my breasts looked in the shirts and swimsuits that I would never worn earlier because I felt too self-conscious in before.
This fall when Sandy called to ask me if I would like be a part of the Las Vegas KQ live broadcast, I was so excited! My husband and I had always wanted to go, and I knew Dr. Bashioum was a part of the show every year. I never in a million years thought they would ask me to participate! The entire experience was amazing. I was a little bit nervous at first, but it ended up being more fun than I ever expected! I even took part in the sexiest costume contest and won 2nd place ($500)! I want to say thank you to KQ and all of Dr. Bashioum’s staff, especially Sandy, for a great experience. I was honored to be there with you this year.
