WORTH IT$22,000

A little about myself I'm a mother of 2 wonderful children. After my first children I got extreme stretch marks that are so ugly to look at. I gained so much weight with her. Went from being 95 lbs to 140. I lost the weight in about 1 year and keep it off until I got pregnant with baby # 2. After him I really could lose the weight like I wanted to. Plus it doesn't help that I'm only 5 ft tall. Anyhow, I have wanted a TT for 7 years now but have been way to scared. The hubby finally said it was time plus I'm getting a BA as well. I was so excited at first now my emotional have gone up and down since I scheduled the surgery. My biggest fear is not waking up from the surgery and my family not having me. Had everyone else had this fear? I'm a healthily 34 yr old but you just never know. Plus I think I might be getting a cold. Calling dr tomorrow to see if I can get meds so I don't have to postpone the surgery.

Today has been a bit emotional for me and I haven't even had the TT and BA yet. I'm scared, nervous, getting a cold and excited all at the same time

But I'm fully prepared. Dinners ready for 2 weeks after, all meds filled and helpers ready to stay with me.

5 days til the flat side!!

So going to have a big dinner tonight since I have to be on a clear diet all day tomorrow and then the bowel prep...boo to that!! Lol. So my emotions about being scared of not making through surgery has now shifted to worried about the pain. My ps wants me off pain killers at noon the day after surgery. Seems like he wants to torture me but says it will be better. His theory is the pain meds cause swelling and bloating which can ultimately cause more pain and discomfort. So here's to finally be able to look like my old self.

Hey Evifree! He wants you off pain killers by noon the day of surgery? Well that's a first? "So here's to finally being able to look like my old self"....I'll drink to that. LOL! Good luck and try to relax just a little, you will be home recovering before you know it!

Cherrybaby noon the day after surgery. Sorry. But still seems hard. I'm trying to relax and get excited but I just think how scary it all sounds.
