ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT until surgery day! Omg, I'm freaking out. Thoughts of "what have I gotten myself into", "how are my kids going to handle my being out of commission for awhile", "how will DH cope", and "how bad is it REALLY going to hurt". I'm also scared shitless about being put under anaesthetic. I just better wake up! So, I went to my pre-op appt a little while ago, it went well. I couldn't be more confidant in my surgeons. I also went to an appointment on Monday to get sized for my extremely attractive post surgical bra and abdominal compression garment ;o) Hey, at least they had black ones for me. I was happy about that.

I am getting alot of emails from people wanting information about where I am getting the surgeries done and whom will be doing them. I will be willing to share all of this with you guys after my surgery is complete (as well as pre and post op photos). I don't want to give out recommendations until after I have gone through the procedure and can give you all detailed notes on my experience.

I'm sure that I will post with some pre-op jitters on Monday night, but if not...please keep me in your thoughts on Tuesday morning when I go under the knife. Thank you!

You won't regret it! I had a full tummy tuck with muscle restoration and lip to hips and flanks and it was the best thing I ever did for myself!

I was so nervous before my tummy tuck. What is there are complications? What if I end up with an infection? Will my kids be okay? I worried a lot. My recovery was far swifter than I planned. I was up and walking almost upright by 2 weeks. Off pain meds by 1 week.

It's been over a year now and I love that I don't have to tuck my skin apron into my jeans anymore!

My story is on my blog and pics.

I've just had surgery on my foot, was put out twice in a week, and if you're nervous at all I've just gotta say; in my experience, it's just a little odd getting from gurney to table, everything else is cake. It's like being an indy car in the pits! They confirm your identity, and the "going under" is so fast.. SO fast.. I was just getting interested in what the anesthesiologist and my care nurse were getting up to, we had a little talk that was basically a nice version of a count down and Whee! Next thing I knew I was in the recovery ward.
