WORTH IT

I am 50 years old. Well actually when I get the surgery I will have just turned 51 by three days. I decided to wait until after my Bday. I am so scared but excited at the same time. I go from high to low. This will be the 1st time in my life that I will have had a flat belly. I have always been over weight and had a stomach. I lost a lot of weight and now weigh 145 lbs. I am 5' 2". If I have the guts I will upload some photos. I hope I do not chicken out. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated. : )
Scared but trying to keep my eye on the prize : )

6.5.12.....being on this site has helped.... I just can not understand going through such a big surgery you can go home just an hour after you wake up! My pre op is the 14th of June.. I am having my husband and cousin come so they can Hear what I miss. Doing this on a Friday my husband will not have to miss but 1 day of work.. I also have my 21year old daughter who is on break from college to help me. Just hope I can overcome my guilt and fears... So far I still get happy then feel like backing out....arghhhhhh

it is getting closer by the minute.... Thursday the 14th will be my post op. I have cleaned my house ( well my cleaning lady) She is also scheduled to come 2 days before my surgery. My closet is all cleaned along with all of my post op clothing I will wear. Mostly pajamas. I don't really know what to get except for a few things that I have seen the ladies in here get. I will have to go shopping after my pre op appointment. Why is this all I think about day and night...It is like total obsession....
