3 weeks POSTOP

I am 42 and have 8 children. Two of them were born by c-section. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I would love to be 30 pounds lighter than I am right now, but that would make me the same weight as my 16 year old. I'm not sure that's realistic! LOL.

I am 5' 3" and have recently lost 11 lb using Weight Watchers. I weighed 167 this morning. I had upper abdominal liposuction on February 15th, as the surgeon felt I'd get a better result that way. I have developed a seroma on my upper abdomen, which he says he will drain during the surgery. I am also having my inner thighs liposuctioned.

Surgery is tomorrow! I'm nervous, excited and a teeny bit scared. And of course I started my period this morning so that should be fun with the garments! I'll be sure to update as I recover. I want to keep track for myself also. I guess my biggest fear is just the unknown. I don't know if it'll hurt more than a c-section, or just different or what.

Sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. I'm first case so surgery is supposed to begin at 8:30. Took some final pics this am so I'll upload those later after I get home. I'm staying the night in the hospital.
