I need to have a procedure done I have low self esteem. I have a girlfriend. I am scared of surgery. I have spoken to my best friend about getting surgery. I am worried about the surgery complications, I worry I won't be able to take care of my children.
I work as an editor at a local magazine. I just published an article on local surgeons. I had open heart surgery close to my home. I researched my surgeon before my surgery.
I've been looking into surgeons, what was the name of the surgeon you used? I have spoken to Dr. Bessman, the surgeon that my friend recommended. I have not decided if I want the procedure done yet. I am very afraid of surgery. I wish I lived close I know you researched the local surgeons for your article.  Wait a minute, I thought you were the one that did the research, haha! That's why I asked you.  I know this procedure is something I want done but I'm so afraid to take the leap. You are right about that. I was just waking up here! My heart surgeon was Dr. Moore. He was great. It was a really complicated procedure and he did a fantastic job. I'm glad I did a lot of research before hand. Now I am thinking about getting a cosmetic procedure with Dr. Bessman, just haven't decided if it's worth it yet. What are you planning to have done?  Its my nose that I would like to have reshaped.  I just think it would give me the boost I need to put myself out there.  Sometimes I find it hard to look in the mirror, or even get out of the house.   I will give Dr. Bessman a call and see if I can get a consultation.  Do you think the recovery will be bad?  I don't think it will be as bad as my heart surgery was! I know someone who had a nose reshaping by Dr. Bessman. She had packing in her nose for a few days and had to breath through her mouth, that was the toughest part. She said she would do it again because the outcome was so great. Maybe I'll see if she wants to share her before and after pictures with you.  That's great, and I'd love to speak with her too about her experience.  I just want to make sure I'll still have the energy to take care of the kids without being too groggy.  I think it will be worth it though.  How was the recovery after your surgery; are you back to work yet? What does your girlfriend think about the surgery? I think if you have someone to watch the kids for 2 days you will be fine after that. I think a nose reshaping will give you a lot of confidence. Dr. Bessman has done many of these procedures and I don't think he ever had a bad result.  My girlfriend is so supportive of it since we both feel it will give me the confidence I need.  I'm sure she will step in and help, I just have so many worries filling my head I haven't even asked yet!!  Hopefully meeting Dr. Bessman will put me at ease.  Working on any new articles lately? You really can't compare my recovery from open heart surgery to a nose job. It took me about 2 weeks to get back to fairly normal. I still have to take it easy but I am back to work. I have assigned a few articles to my writers and I will edit them before they go out. I can't discuss what they are until they are actually published. Let me know what you decide about your surgery.  I will keep you posted.  I understand you did go through a lot more than I would.  I need to put that in perspective.   Glad to hear you're slowly but surely getting back into the groove. Ok. Good luck to you. Let me know when you plan to have the procedure done. Thanks for your concern.
