Being scared before a surgery is very normal. Most everyone is afraid of the unknown. But just stay positive and try to think about that new tummy you are about to get. You will be ok. Keep reading through the Realself website and you will feel better. There is an endless supply of great information, friends to chat with and great support. I recently had a tummy tuck and it all turned out very well. Go under the Tummy Tuck Forum and read my Tummy Tuck Survival Guide. Good info and I promise to make you laugh out loud. Hang in there girl and keep us up to date!

Week three is the turning point and you will feel much much better. As long as you dont have a physical job you will be fine going back.

Definitely get that cleared up before this surgery!  Trust me when I say that you do not want to have any infection going on in your body when you have this surgery.    You want a nice smooth recovery:)

Hi Jodielynn - Glad to hear the tooth is getting better.   You definitely will feel better in the long run having this all healed up.  You are so close and the day will be here before you know it :)  Try and take some relaxing time for yourself this next week.  Go get a mani and pedi.or a massage this week.  Rest all you can, stay healthy and keep your chin up.  It is all exciting, frightening and overwhelming all at the same time. 

Try to think about spring time and how wonderful you will look and feel.  Picture yourself out buying new spring and summer clothes.  Before my surgery I would go through magazines and catalogs and cut out pictures of clothes I wanted to buy after the surgery.  That kills some time and is fun.  I had an entire scrap book of outfits I wanted to put together.  Items that I was going to be able to wear without the double muffin top...

Hang in there because your day is almost here :)
