I'm soooo Happy, I FINALLY received my package!!! I thought I never would, for some reason. Now it's just a matter of booking my flight home and getting the rest of my nessesaties!!

As far as my flight goes, I'm not sure if i should do 1 First Class seat, or a row of Coach seats. the price is pretty much the same.. Tell my whats you think ladies!!

The only supplements we need to get, besides the scripts, are Iron and Vitamin C. I got scripts for Percs, Colace (stool softener), Clindamycin (Anti-biotic), Zofran (for nausea), & labs to get done at PCP. Then it has of list of supplements and meds to stay away from starting a month before sx.

Would anyone be interested in Jan 22 with Salama? I'm trying to help a friend. Her date is Jan 22 and if she can't switch to a date in February or March, she can't get the procedure done. She's been trying since October to switch with someone, and she still hasn't been able to... So if anyone who's scheduled with Salama in Feb or March is willing to switch, her name on here is almostgotit. Thanks!

Oh thanks. I found the small Rx hidden at the bottom of envelope between papers, Percs. Were you able to get them with insurance or did u have to pay cash? Im just finishing up getting everything together for my flight Feb 2nd. I'm only getting the pain RX and the antibiotics. I'm taking coach, I didnt even think of getting first class because I thought it would cost too much. First class sounds better if it pretty much costs the same, you have more room for comfort especially when returning post-op. :)

OMG, so he place that I was going to stay at fell through again!! WTF! I'm getting sooo annoyed. I wish I didnt wait soo long, but I was also trying to get a sooner date... smh. I'm looking for a 1 bedroom apartment, with a separate living space. I feel like Aventura and the surrounding areas only have studios. All the nice places are either UBER expensive, or taken!

I still haven't received my package! I'm going to start having anxiety attacks!! I have to call Nancy before I worry myself to death!! I love her though, she's soooo patient and helpful, SHES THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

So far I've purchased my plane ticket going to FLL, oneway. It was $90, which I'm sooooo happy about. I'm thinking about coming back in First Class, HOLLA!!! lol.. I just want to be extra comfy, or as comfy as possible. The ticket isnt that expensive, a little over $300.

I've also purchased:
Heating Pad
Guaze
Gloves

Lol, I'll update this as I go along... lol

What is our diet supposed to be like after our SX???

Go to Homeawayfromhome.com these are condos people rent out. Mine has a full service kitchen, living room, bathroom! Check it out and see what u find! Good Luck

Hi cthollywood. My husband booked it through our own car insurance. I believe its through geico but when he gets home I will get the exact answer for you. It's not too bad of a price especially cause were getting a Nissan maxima. Yes we agreed to rent just incase we have to go somewhere at night and just have the freedom to drive around and look. I might not be able to do much but I sure can sight see. Lol

No problem cthollywood. Yes try to ask you insurance carrier of they offer deals for car rentals. I have three sons but they are gonna stay here in jersey which is so hard for me to do :(. But I know I will be stressed either way. Lol.

I'm sooo excited I was able to get an earlier date. I'm kinda upset though, the place I was going to be staying at is no longer available. Now I have to find something new. I'm looking for an apartment to rent out, anyone have any suggestions?? The next step is purchasing these plane tickets. My friend is coming with me, so of course I have to purchase hers. It's not that expensive though, $200 rt. I'm so excited, I feel like everythings coming too fast now, I'm only like 10 weeks away!!! I've gained like 20 lbs since booking my sx. I have to start going to the gym again and eating right!! I cant believe I let myself go like this!! Ill put up some pics when i'm closer to my date. Who else is getting their sx around my date?!?!?
