Hey guys. I'm starting a new blog. I have my surgery in 5 days. I'm getting a breast augmentation, lipo, fat transfer to my hips, and a tummy tuck...which by the way I wanted for 8 years now. I'm excited and nervous. I can't sleep at night.

I'm excited because I need my old body back and yet I feel selfish for putting myself at risk since I have 3 wonderful daughters and a supportive husband. I'll be under for about 5-6 hours. Never have been under so I'm scared crapless LOL.

I will be keeping updates regularly after my surgery which is 9-16 and I will definitely post pics... I think I may even do the video diaries which are very popular recently!

Please anyone tell me about your anesthesia experience for right now I'm more concerned about that than post surgery!

Hey Angie! Thx for the comments. I love this website. I have a ?. I can only do video on my I-Phone. Can I still upload them to the website? I'm going to do my video diary starting at the pre-op point and from there continue on.

I'll send you a personal message about this. Yes, an iphone should work fine, but email them to me and I'll post. Details to come.

My personal experience with anesthesia was really good. No complications at all. You are safer in a controlled OR than you are driving on the highway. How exciting to get the totally new body! Can't wait to hear and see your progress as you go through this procedure. Congratulations!

Ok so I am wondering. I stay the first 24 hours at a surgical center. And the nurse told me to bring stuff to do...so quick question am I gonna be with it enough to do things? She suggested books and movies. I don't see how in the heck I'm gonna be reading a book. Weirds me out I thought I'd be knocked out by pain meds..

Can't hurt to take a few things just in case you're bored.

I was super nervous about going under as well. I had a three hour tummy tuck with lipo. I wore a seasickness patch and then had an RX prescribed to me for nausea afterward. Just a heads up, you can take both together. I didn't know and I was sick the first day home. I didn't stay overnight though. I've always gotten sick on the table, so, this was a nice change. :) I don't really remember anything about the pre-op except them putting the aniseptic on me and then I laid down on the table. It was the easiest operation I've ever had. Click on my name to see my "Excited but Nervous" post to get all the details. Your surgery will change your life, it has for me!

Ok ladies and gentlemen....2 more days. Tonight I have Zumba then tomorrow is all preperation. I'm very excited I talked to a few people who've went "under" and they say easy breezy. That thats actually the best part! Well, this is my first surgery ever and the first time ever going under. My husband will be there and I'm ready to start recovery so I can feel my self esteem return and feel like my stomach isn't a parasite living on my body!

Hey thx for the guide. It made me laugh and helped me to know more of what to expect. I don't know why I keep thinking that when I leave surgery I am gonna throw on my skinnys and go have a drink with my husband LOL. That day will come tho!

Glad I could make you laugh! My goal was to be totally honest about my experience so that others going through this would feel normal. Well the skinny jean thing..I called that my grand vision! Now how crazy was that :)

Ok I'm now 2 days away. I'm cleaning my house like a pregnant woman nesting. 2 more loads of laundry tonite after the girls get their baths done and I'm finished! Went grocery shopping yesterday. So I think I'm covered. Any suggestions???

Yes, take a deep breath, have a glass of wine and sit with your hubby and relax :) Oh I remember all of this so well. Thinking about you and can't wait to hear from you soon after surgery. Stay in touch.
