Senior Member Dewayne Posted March 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 was as great as all of his patients have posted. We started yesterday at 7 a.m., started cutting at 8 a.m. and finished around 6 p.m. I'll get some pics up and my weblog updated this weekend, but since I drove home (6 hours) today, I'm going to chill out a little tonight. However, I will say the 2,750 grafts (only planned 2500) was nothing in pain compared to the 300 mini-grafts I got 17 years ago. The only pain I felt all day was getting the pain meds shot a couple of times in the forehead. If there's a better doc out there, I'd damn sure like to meet him (or her). Dr. Cooley was in the operating room at least 95% of the time and did all the slits; and placements along beside another nurse. It's no wonder he doesn't post on the sites very much, as he was in there before me (6:50 a.m.), in the room with my surgery all day (until 6:30 p.m.), and back in there this morning working on another patient when I went back at 7:45 a.m. this morning. I asked one of the cutters what the biggest size session they've done and she said 4,100; so I'd say he does 'megas' as well. The good thing about going to a surgeon who is also a dermatologist is he took care of three things on me that needed medical attention; a dark mole on my back, a 'tab' growth on my head, and another knot on my head that had fluid buildup. In all, a great experience and I'll get some pics up soon. 100?
