WORTH IT
My panniculectomy is scheduled for Dec12th. This is the day I will regain my health and emotional spirit back. Lord, I truly thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to his this surgery. He gave me favor with my insurance company. I will be responsible for my deductible. I will be welcoming the idea of losing the extra skin I carry around daily. On that day I will regain my health and emotional spirit back. Having the surgery is on a precursor of my continuance to live a health life. I know the journey won't be easy but i choose to prevail. My preop day is Dec 4th.. I can't wait to see the new me.

Being a nurse allow you to work with different physicians. Seeing how they interact with the staff and their patients says a lot about them. I selected my surgeon on the following things: Work ethics, carefulness towards his patient, good listener, skillful surgeon, and wonderful office staff. I find it very easy to speak about concerns with my PS. I never feel rushed.

Supplies-
I have purchased several items for my surgery from shower chair to gas x..lol only thing I'm lacking is a recliner. Hoping the price drop on Black Friday before I purchase one.

Please follow my journey as I follow yours.

Ladies, precious testimonies! Looking forward to being free from this extra [RS bleep]/burden of this baggy belly. While there is not insurance involved here for me I am grateful for the favor He has poured over our finances to allow for this to happen. It has been a LONG time in the making and December 10th this dream will finally become a reality :)

My pre-op day is December 4th. I will be posting my pre-op photos on this day as well. Warning you guys ahead of time :-) My panni hangs over my vaginal area sitting on top of my upper thighs. The extra skin causes pressure on my bladder and numbness to my right leg, preventing me from emptying my bladder completely at times. What a relief it will be to get rid of the extra skin. To God be the glory because my day is coming soon.

I am doing great. Trying to get things tied up at work before my surgery next week. My house is clean and I have arranged child care, so everything is falling into place. :) I can't wait to have a lap for my kids to sit on and be able to ride rides with them! God is giving me such an amazing opportunity.
