Tummy Tuck with Lipo After Weight Loss - Oakdale, MN

I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have never been able to look in the mirror naked and like what I see. This is something that I have wanted to do for years but never thought that I would be able to. I let it go for years because I constantly told myself that it was just a dream. I lost around 100 lbs, met and married the best man in the world and he takes the best care of me. We both work really hard and I have gone through lots of fertility issues and am not able to have children so with the help of my husband, my dream is finally coming a reality. One of the main things that I absolutely can not wait for is to stand naked in front of my husband feeling no shame or fear that he will not love me because of what he sees (which would never happen but it still scares me) I have to be honest, I am scared to death. I am excited, hopeful, scared, nervous, anxious, worried that I am not making the right decision, you name it. I know I am strong but I am scared of the pain, having regrets afterwards and possibly not liking the results. Although when I type that it sounds funny because I laughed at the doctor when he was telling me that I would have a scar. I told him that the scar that he would leave was nothing compared to what I am carrying now. I am hoping that I will find guidance and friends to share my experience with and to help me along the way.

Okay so I seem to be at a place of acceptance, for now anyway. I don't feel as scared, just ready to do it and get it over with. I REALLY hope that I can keep this feeling. Being scared sucks! I hate anxiety! Just 21 days until my Pre-op appointment with the surgeon, 22 days until my pre-op with my PCP and 35 days until my surgery!

Welp I had my pre-op with the surgeon today, now I am scared again! I got my prescriptions, surgery is paid in full, and I hope that it stays that way...meaning I hope that I don't have to pay for revisions! My surgeon won't charge me but I would still have to pay surgery center fees, etc. UGH! Dear God I hope I don't come out looking worse than I did when I went in LOL!! I am off to my PCP tomorrow for surgery approval. I just have to keep reading and focus on the good and stop focusing on how bad it's going to hurt or the "hope I wake up from surgery". I know everything will be fine but wow when you read all of the potential things that could go wrong...I wig myself out!
