Who's Having SX In DR Beginning Of May??
Anyone having SX beginning of May n staying at Armonia wanna buddy up Lemme know. OOOOOR anyone that's out in DR between the 1st to the 9th of May message me so we can meet up :)
1 Week Count Down!!
Ugh! Wish I never told my mum about this SX until I got on the plan. Been getting an earful from her ever since I told her. It wasn't that bad in the beginning, maybe because she didn't think I was serious about it but as she's noticed how 'semi obsessed' lol I am and as my date draws closer the comments don't stop lol! She's even told my dad And my brother about it. I really don't need to hear it right now, I'm worried as it is hoping that everything goes right during and after surgery, I have no complications, hoping my haemo levels are high enough to get the bbl AND arm lipo, about not being over the BMI limit etc... Although it can be highly irritating at times, I do understand where their coming from and why they're saying the things their saying. I'd be the same too even worse in fact lol but I digress...
Nothing new to report yet. I was thinking if I should purchase my anti embolism socks online or buy them at CIPLA, I believe there $30 which is about £17. Hmm I wonder how long they will take to arrive if I order them from eBay today. There around £5. Need to measure my legs to get my correct size. Read in one of the groups I'm in that you should buy the 20-30mmHg ones. Any higher than that and you could be doing more harm than good.
Got my Dr's app in the morning gonna see if I can get some strong pain meds *fingers crossed* (Here in the UK Dr's are less incline to give their patients any medication if their having elective surgery) I have an ongoing back problem so I'm just gonna complain about that and see if she will give me anything stronger than paracetamol or Ibuprofen..
Oh on another note! I booked my holiday with work from last yr for two weeks when I though I would be having surgery May 5th. I was planning on leaving for DR on the 4th but now I have to leave 1st which is next week Thursday (Oh Sh#%!! I just realised I only have 1 week to go!!) so I will be missing two extra unplanned days of work. I don't know what to tell them, if I should call in sick en route to the airport lol or just tell them I can't come in. The crazy thing is my close family member owns the business I work at and my Mama told them what I plan to do also LOOL! FML!!! So I guess the 1st option is out of the question.. Ugh I'm just gonna have to say I won't be in but I need a really good excuse because these biyatches won't allow any type of lame reason...

My times coming fast!! 11days to go!
Sooooo basically guys my SX has now been moved to May 2nd. Confirmed with Duran thanks to Bella Vita and my RH (Armonia) I also got a reply back from Duran to confirm BMI status "IT HAS TO BE NO HIGHER THAN 34!" I'm 5'3 and cutting it fine, my BMI IS 34 and I've been slacking with the dieting thing ugh! Need to step it up because I'm not about to fly all the way to DR and get turn't down for SX. I only have 11 days to go Eeekk!!!
I went to my docs to test my hemo last month and it came back 12.7 which would be fine if DR docs didn't measure their blood levels a point lower or whatever they do lol. I started taking my iron pills late January so thought it would be a bit higher than that, But nah. So since finding that out I bought Feroglobin which I take twice a day including my B Complex/B12 and my Folic Acid I don't take my Vit c pills as much anymore because the Feroglobin has enough Vit C in there but as of today I think I may start taking them again hopefully my hemo will be up to at least a 13.7. Umm what else do I have to update you with... Yeah, I have most of my supplies I just need to purchase a suitcase that has four wheels, I'll be having arm lipo so this will be easier for me to travel with. I also need to get Compression socks, Chux, more baby wipes, a blanket and Arnica pills.
I've started back on the juicing and I'm hoping to lose at least 7lbs by my date. I have PCOS so it's easy for me to gain weight and harder to take it off so we'll see how that goes.
Question! what outfit did/are you guys wear on the plane ride home. I was thinking of wearing my onesie but it's a bit too thick for DR so I thought about wearing a maxi dress with a cardigan (wanna hide the compression sleeves) let me know guys oh!
Question no.2: How did you guys style your hair did you have braids, natural hair out, weave?
I will post some of my pre-op pix soon with measurements
