WORTH IT
Wow...four more days....can hardly believe it. I had my blood work and chest xray done on Tuesday...haven't heard anything so I'm assuming all went well with that. I've had to wear a bright red hospital bracelet that the lab put on. Was told I can't remove it till AFTER the surgery as it shows admitting @ the hospital that I had all my tests done. Not sure why they wouldn't give it to me and I'd put it on later. Sure wouldn't be giving it away to someone else! LOL! Oh well, it provides opportunities for people to strike up a conversation with me. "Oh you were at the hospital? What's wrong with you?" LOL
Still working on losing weight. Since I found out my date, I've lost 10 pounds. :) I'm psyching myself up for the fact I'll likely put ON weight immediately after the surgery due to swelling and fluid retention and from the sounds of things...constipation.Yuck! Will be picking up something from the pharmacy today to have on hand just in case. Oh and I got my bras yesterday. Hopefully they will work for me. I got one in the size I am now and one about 3 sizes smaller. Both "fit" as they're cotton and stretch but of course one is way tighter than the other.
I'm sure I'll be back to ramble some more Tuesday night...I know I won't be sleeping much that night!

Thanks for the help Iowa....my smartphone wasn't showing the option to add the pics but once I went to the computer it was there. Added the pics... did not realize how lopsided i was...and really how bad they sagged. I agree with you...I really didn't know I looked like that. But now, I'm actually EXCITED to get my surgery. I'm doing it to alieviate the physical pain of course, rashes, shoulder & back pain but aesthetically as well as that is not sexy. I will be asking my hubby tonight when he gets home why/how he finds those attractive! LOL!

I know what you mean about the pictures. When I looked at mine with the PS. I was shocked how I looked. I was worried about my hubby also but he is being fantastic! Glad you got our date! How exciting! I have 3 days to go!

And if you are shocked with your pictures now, just wait until you see yourself in a random snapshot after. I was just a couple of weeks post-op when we were at the school for a football game. It was Parent's Night and the newspaper took our picture with our son and when I saw it the next week, I had a hard time believing that was me with the t-shirt that wasn't straining across my chest!

All in all things are good. No regrets as of yet and really hope it stays that way!
