FIRST REAL SURGERY

Time - 7am to 2pm
Total Hours - 7
Another early morning and another early session with my mentor to complete my hours. Hey Guys another post, for a set of hours that I completed with my mentor. But today was a very special day because I got to observe a real live Fat Drafting surgery. So, today I woke around the usual time at about 5.30 am and forgot that I had an appointment with my mentor to observe and get some more hours done. At around 6 I realized about it so  I got ready, tired as all hell and left my house, I had to catch BART to get to S.F. I got at the Hospital at around 6.55 and so I went to Dr. J's office and it was closed, so I just went back down to the lobby sat there thinking what I should do. To my surprise I see Dr.J all ready in his surgical gear, I then I realized that I forgot I was going to Obderve a Live Surgery. We rushed to his other office down the block and we got ready.
 I found out that the patient was a 60 year old war veteran transvestite who wanted to get fat drafted from his back and then put into his chest, so that he would have a set of natural breasts. The nurse gave the patient his gown and then laid him down on the bed and put an I.V into his arm. Then the anestigiologist came over and asked the patient general question so that he would know if the patient would have a bad reaction to the anestiga he was going to receive. Then the doc started the procedure after he put on all the protective gear and gloves as well as the mask.

 He started to make little incisions in the back of the patient then inserted a pie into them and filled them with a fluid that would sterilize the inside of the skin so that the fat would part off of it. Then he went in with the same tube and started to suck out all the fat from his back. It took him two to three hours to get all the fat that he wanted.



After he collected all the fat in a huge container, he stated to strain the fat apart from the blood and fluids, after he did that he packed fat little by little into the chest of the patient through a huge injection. It took him a long time to do so because he had to be precise with the amount of fat he would insert to each side so that the breasts would be even. After he finished that he stitched up all the little incisions he made on the back of the patient and so the surgery was done.

For me to actually watch a surgery LIVE was a huge deal, I never though I would be able to do that in my entire Life time it was a very cool and exhilarating experience, that came once in a life time. Overall it was a good day full of surprises, so
Peace Out
