Don't worry it will work out. Time moment by moment and breathe. Good luck

Thank you.
It'll be okay Hun. Don't stress yourself out, stay healthy!
Thank you *sighs*
Ita going to be okay. You know how angie is at times. Just b calm.
I took my blood tests on April 10th thinking this would be enough time to get it all together, faxed over, and confirmed... Nope!!! It's the day before I leave and they have no results and the one they did get was incomplete. It's been so frustrating...now, I know what everybody else has gone thru!!! I'll try and stay calm . I need to do the surgery as planned because this will be the only time I will have off.
Good luck on your surgery! Im excited for you. Please keep us posted :)

How much and when should I start taking my arnica...

How much and when should I start taking my arnica pellets? I already started a low sodium diet and I'm eating clean. I'm down to 125 lbs, so I'm upping my protein shake intake. I want to maintain my weight at 127-130. Also, I'm still working out (lifting weights) I'm NOT doing any kind of cardio except for walking, I want my body to be strong before surgery. Anywhoo, any advice for me would be appreciated. Can't believe in 4 more days I'll have a new and improved me.

Good luck ;)
Thank you! :)
Yes, take arnica. Just go to GNC & tell them you're having surgery & see what they suggest. Bromelein is good to.
Thanks, I'll be stopping by GNC this afternoon.
And iron. MOST important of all!!!

I'm so excited my surgery is around the corner! I...

I'm so excited my surgery is around the corner! I didn't gain as much weight as I would of like to, I'm at 127lbs which is about my normal weight. I'm pretty much all prepared and ready to go! Now, it's just a waiting game until my surgery date.
I filled all my prescriptions, here are the medications I'm taking with me:

Demerol (for pain)
Valium (anxiety)
Soma (muscle relaxer)
Keflex (antibiotic)
Transderm Scop patch (prevents nausea)

and of course I'm bringing all of my vitamins:

Iron
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Quercetin
Bromelain
Arnica montana
Probiotics

I wonder if Dr. Campos will still charge me if I take my own meds?? Hmmm..

Well, that's it for now. Anywhoo... Good luck to everyone with their upcoming surgeries and wishing everyone a quick and healthy recovery to those who already had their surgery! :)

Good luck, can't wait to see your results.
Thank you :)
You're Not Mixing Demerol & Valium, are you?
My doctor prescribed demerol and valium for me. Is it not good to take at the same time?
Um, I don't think so. My dentist wouldn't give them to me. She gave them to my ex & wrote all over the bottles warning signs. Then called to ensure I was following directions. And soma's?? You trying to comatose yourself thru recovery? Docs actually want you to feel a little pain to keep you from doing to much. If you're completely numb you might over exert yourself & f something up!
I researched online just now, it sounds like it's not a good idea to mix the two, I may just use the Valium after I stop the Demerol if I need it to relax. Thanks for the heads up.
I'll show Dr. Campos my prescriptions and see what says about when to take each one. I'm having a tummy tuck with muscle repair, so my doctor thought Soma would be good after I stop taking the pain pills.
Ok. Yeah. Def ask Campos
I hope not!! I'm in nursing school. I wouldn't advise that at all.
Btw, how tall are you?
I'm 5'1
I saw on your profile your 5'7, what's your weight now?
I'm 145
Hey girlie, I haven't been in for a min but I thought of you & I wanted to wish u luck... I'm so happy for u.
Thank you, it's means a lot, we got on here around the same time and been supporting each other. Our lives have definitely changed over the past 6 months... well, actually your has and mine is coming up! Yay!..Anywhoo, I hope your doing well and everything comes out the way you want it to! I'll try and post my pics soon after my surgery!
Of course. Im super excited for you :) Yes my life has really changed! It's been rough. After my surgery I looked like a hot air balloon :( my body takes forever to heal. Even with my boobs. I'm still not sure about the results. My bottom isn't that big but it will do. I'll def fill in my jeans lol. I'll be checking up on you & if you have any questions at all you have my email. It can get depressing... That's what I'm going through.
Aww.. I'm sorry your feeling depressed, but like you said it takes a little longer for you to heal and when you do ...look out! lol :) you'll be breaking all the guys necks wanting just a glimpse of you! (your husband is going to have to beat them down!) :) I'm sure I'll be emailing you a lot after my surgery because I know it's going to be a looooong recovery.
Haha!! Beat them down that's funny... My husband loves when guys check me out. His arm candy lol. & I hope so. Yes def email me even if you need someone to talk to, especially bc I've been well still going through what u'll be going through. never feel like ur bothering either :)
Thank you girl! :)
Btw u already look good!! Your going to look sooooo Amazing!!!!!
lol, thank you! :)
