I have been learning to live everyday to its fullest, loving myself because I am worth it, and believing in myself, MY REALSELF.....
that's is why I chose my user name LIveLoveBelieve
L@@king forward to getting my Tummy Tuck as well as Lipo on my flanks the all so mushy LOVE HANDLES;)..... As the days are crossed off the calendar I have mixed emotions my thoughts are like the wind, wrapping my mind around my thoughts , I am taking this Giant Leap.....and it's for Me!
Any helpful suggestions will be totally WELCOMED.....the minutes a ticking away quickly
I don't know anyone who has personally walked this path...

HIGH POTASSIUM Pre-op bloodwork needs a second l@@k
I got a phone call from my Doctors office yesterday, some of the blood tests I had
done pre-op stuff concern them High Potassium and something about my calcium levels.....
I am totally FREAKED that this is going to interfere with my Tummy Tuck surgery scheduled 10 days from now.... The doctor needs the lab to repeat there tests......
Of course I went bact to the hospital yesterday right after I got the phone call ....for more blood to be drawn Pre-op.
I spent way to much time last night, trying to figure out what could be happening.
G@@gle is a great tool......but one that could paralyze you, if your allow it to ..
Hopefully it has nothing to do with my Kindeys......High Potassium levels are connected.....gotta shut down the Internet......overload of information......
Anyone else ever have High Potassium Levels Pre-op? I should of listened better to my doctor when was reviewing my blood test results, I didnt write the details down about my calcuim levels just that it is also concern. #1 Rule take notes...
Breath deeply, Stay postive, Reach out, Chill.......
Doc said that these level world concern my anesthetist prior to surgery ......
NOT GOOD!!!!! Enough to even cancel.....
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
What is going on??????
I am so ready to have my surgery....
TRYING to be Positive but now I am totally worried.....
I keep l@@king at my rolls of fat....they need to be gone,,,,I need this surgery to move forward.....
I'll know on more Monday, once the new bloodwork is studied.....
Thanks everyone for letting me ramble......

Thanks!!!!! I am so nervous, if I get my TT cancelled or postponed i'll
be so sad. :(
At 60 years old.....this is my time....I feel...confused

Here's hoping your surgery can proceed! I haven't had my blood work done yet but I do have the requisition so better get it done on Monday which will be 9 days pre-op. My surgery date is Sept. 18th. I am so thankful for having found this website!

Thanks BB, I am trying to stay positive, hoping my blood work won't be a set back.
You and I are both set next week....Sept 16 (me) and Sept 18 (you) for our life changing transformation. My nerves have gotten the best of me this weekend, when this happens I get hives....I'm trying not to obsess... I have been trying to keep my surgery private only telling my 2 adult daughters, one of my 4 brothers a favorite niece and of course my hubby,....
I hope to get away without telling other people and friends....It will be on a (need to know basis)
I like your back-ache plan, might work for me!!!!
September 8, 2013
The back-ache story is probably the best one as actual back problems can last a long time. I think we all get very nervous from time to time. I've had many sleepless nights already since I scheduled the surgery and I've actually come close to cancelling several times. Then all I do is look at my profile in the mirror to get me back on track!

7 Days from today!!!! Countdown I've been on pins and needles...Hopefully all is good....
I had addition pre-op Blood work on Friday because high potassium and questionable results.....I've been on pins and needles all weekend waiting to hear from my Surgeon hopefully early-up in the day.
I am so ready to have my surgery, I have been fearing there will be a delay,or worse.
Help...
I need suggestions, a list if the most important things to get prior to my TummyTuck. I have a shower seat, toilet riser, regular recliner, baby wipes, arnica....pretty short list I need suggestions!
Just pacing the floor until I hear something about my blood work, then i'll deal with it.
I will update later once I hear from my doctor.....

I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction 5 months ago, the best thing I ever did for myself. I'm 59 years young, I have more self confidence than I have ever had, and instead of always getting dressed in the dark, it doesn't bother me now to leave the lights on. The only real issue that I had was an allergic reaction to the steri strips, which set me back a little, but once that cleared up, it wasn't that bad. I feel like my stomach is still swollen and feels tight, but everything I have read says that could take up to a year to resolve. I will keep you in my prayers, good luck.. Just keep thinking of the end results and you will not be sorry.

I had the tummy tuck and breast reduction done 5 months ago, best thing I ever did. I'm 59 years young and have more confidence now than I have ever had. The surgery or recovery were not really all that bad. I had a allergic reaction to the steri strips and that set me back a little. Once the drains were out it was smooth sailing. The one thing that I am a little concerned about now is my abdomen is still really tight and swollen, but I did read that could take up to a year to subside. Will keep u in my prayers and good luck.. just keeping thinking positive about the end results
September 9, 2013
Thanks for the support and prayers....good new my blood work is perfect, I have no idea what happened....My surgery is still set for next Monday Sept 16th. I'll follow your progress, your look wonderful, I hope the tightness subsides soon.
