WORTH IT$8,810
I have lost over 130lbs over three years. It was hard work and now I finally will 'see' my new body out from under this tummy! The cost I mentioned is actually for lipo of waist/flank area with the abdominoplasty. I have wanted this for almost 4 years now, but there was always that guilt in spending the money. My weight has been stable at 160lbs and I am 5'4". I will be sure to post pictures of before and after because it is my favorite part of this site!

So today we drove to Dothan and paid the remaining balance! It was scary, but exhilarating! My pre-op is scheduled for the day before surgery and then I have to be at the hospital at 5am.
I will be driving myself because my husband will be in school. My son is staying overnight with a friend so I can try to rest well before surgery :)
I cannot believe it is so soon. I am terribly anxious and had a hard time sleeping last night. I truly hope it will not be 3 weeks of no sleep..lol. My husband is so very supportive since he watched me lose all of my weight and then be left with a less than happy state. I have always been heavy, so when the doctor mentioned putting my stomach 'where it used to be', I laughed out loud. I think the last time my stomach was flat, I was 12! My doctor said he will be removing a significant amount of skin since I had an extreme weight loss. I do have realistic expectations and know that I won't fly out of bed looking fabulous, but to have my 'flap' removed will be quite liberating I am sure. The doctor also said he is going to lipo under my arms where the last PS who did my BR did not. That is awesome to me because it does bother me that it sticks out over the bras.
Anyway, I am terribly excited and keep rambling and looking at before and after pictures! I will be taking ictures before, during, and after as well so that people can obsess like I have!

So I called the PS this morning because on their FB page it states they offer military discount and we already paid for the TT/Lipo. I also asked about the BA and they should be calling me back with all of the info! I am hoping they can put the 'discount' from the other procedures towards the BA, then we can just pay the remaining amount. I truly hope I can get all of this over at once :) Now I just have to WAIT for the office to call me back...I am not very patient..lol.
At least I am watching my friend's kids today and that will keep my mind off of it for awhile!
I am beyond excited. While my husband is always supportive, I think he loves the idea of bigger boobies again. He mentioned at least 4 times yesterday that in just a couple of weeks, my boobs will be bigger. At least he is supportive right?! lol
