I'm a mother of 2 girls, both via C section. I was classically trained as a dancer prior and considered myself as a strong & healthy person. After having my children I just couldn't get rid of the flap of skin that hung over right to my pubic area and felt very disconnected with the body I had before. Don't get me wrong I don't need to be skinny mini again but I just want the flap of skin removed. (I feel so as though it's not a part of me now already) I've also decided to try to qualify from a breast reduction (in Ontario you are covered for reduction if for health issues)as I spill out of a 34 DD. I have my consultation on the 16th of September and hoping for the go ahead for both surgeries at once. I feel anxiety & excited at the same time!

Ahhh go for the creation of the new you! You deserve it:) I look forward to hearing more and seeing some before and after pictures. I had a breast reduction in 2009 and then the tummy tuck in 2010. Best things I have ever done for myself. I am so happy with my results and feel amazing now.

9 more days until the consultation! sorry I do the count down thing, I'll try not to do it everyday, lol. Today I've committed myself to losing some weight, I'm thinking 15lbs before surgery is realistic. I already have good eating habits, but don't move enough and enjoy the wine a little too much. So no wine unless for special nights and need to move a lot more is on the agenda. I also plan on smaller portions. Weight loss is not my primary goal in this journey but more for the comfort in my clothes and in my skin. Thanks for the encouraging words ;)

so consultation was yesterday and I must say it went amazing, the staff was so friendly including the PS. Felt I was a perfect candidate for the 2 procedures. So when it came time to talk about when this is happening, I asked if it could be done before Christmas. PS said there maybe the possibility, then remembered there was a concellation...for the 29th of SEPT!!!! I took it!!!! my surgery is in less than 2 week, just like that. So needless to say I was freaking a but and I tried to think of all the things I need to cover before the date. I don't even have my money in order yet! WOW, well like I said, I'm best under pressure and why put off something that can be done in a couple of weeks! soooo I'm getting ready!

Now that is exciting! Probably best if you dont wait for weeks. The less time you have to think about it the better. Can't wait to hear about your experiences as you go through the process.

So I have 6 days left. Yesterday I went for another appointment to discuss what to do & expect surgery day. I found out that a nurse comes everyday to my home for about a week to check on my drains and such. I thought that was a nice perk, not sure if that's protocol or not. Anyways I'm heading up to the cottage this friday for the weekend and I really want to relax and enjoy.

Nice service!! Enjoy that...The count down is on...Can't waitto see your results.
