Jimerson in 2013

i bought almost all of my medical supplies I think I need for my surgery, unfortunately I feel kind of invisible here. I update my blog, ask questions and I really dont get any feedback from anyone so i did the next best thing and just read a bunch of reviews and see what helped other people get through the recovery as far as supplies goes and my list is pretty big. I bought about 15 or 16 things all off amazon.com and I was happy to find like 98% of things I was looking to purchase. Its a pain in the a** to have to buy things seperately from different websites. I guess I should list the things that I purchased.

-boppy pillow with cover
-female urinal
-Medline Locking Elevated Toilet Seat with Arms
-stool softner
-Sanar Arnica White Ointment
-Arnicare Gel Twin Pack
-Johnson and Johnson Red Cross Waterproof First Aid Tape (since the silicone strips Im getting have reviews that they usually fall off after the 3rd or 4rth day figured this would help)
-ScarAway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets
-Mederma Scar Gel
-Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy Advanced Cream Formula (figured id try to get minimize my stretchmarks while im at it)
-Make Me Heal Plastic Surgery Healing Supplements & Vitamins Kit
-Sunbeam 756-500 Heating Pad with UltraHeatTechnology for my neck and back
-Aveeno Anti-Itch Cream, 1% Hydrocortisone, Maximum Strength
-Preggie Pop Drops (21 Pieces) - Assortment of Sour Flavors (to subside nausea...i dont want to take anymore pills so i got candy lol )
-Texsport Bazaar Armchair (I saw a review from lady who did the most brilliant thing...she bought one of those portable chairs that ppl use at the park and cut the part that would touch her butt out and she was able to sit without putting any pressure on her butt...definitely got that!)


Im also planning to do a series of "home made slimming wraps" starting now until my surgery and afterwards to see if it will help with my stomach so I bought:
-Celtic Sea Salt, Fine Ground, 16 Ounce
-Eternal Essence Oils - Jasmine Fragrance Oil
-Illite Organic French Green Clay Super Fine Special Powder for Face Facial Body Mask Skin Natural Regenerator

I still have to buy more things for my wraps but i didnt have enough time this morning before work. Right before I pushed "check out" it hit me...Im really going to do this! Im excited but I am still a little scared and nervous. I know this is normal but I can only imagine how I will feel as the date approaches!!! Well, thats all for now ladies. Ty to whoever does read and comment!

booked for surgery! time to buy supplies! anyone have some advice/tips on what I should buy

Hey all :) Good news. I called the Dr. Jimerson's office I have a phone consultation with him on 01/25/2013. The office knows I would like to have my surgery in February but Im not sure when I will be able to book it, if I have to wait until after the consultation so I sent them another email and hopefully I can get a reply soon, if not Ill just call back. My boyfriend said that he will be coming with me for the surgery and wants for us to go down there a day or two before to enjoy GA together which was sweet. Its awesome having his support. My mom...man, I dont know what to do. Should I tell her? Should I not? Of course many of you are like....UH, YEA TELL HER lol but you dont understand. She will LITERALLY worry herself SICK. She will get so worried that she will become ill and that is something that I dont want. Of course the thought of the chance of something going TERRIBLY wrong and her not knowing a thing about it also scares me but I try to comfort myself by reminding myself that Dr. Jimerson does this procedure an average of 4 or 5 times a week and that should put me at ease. I try not to think about the VERY slim chance that I can be the one with a devastating result regardless to how experienced and comfortable he is at his work. I just want to be positive about the whole thing. I asked my brother and he said..."don't....just dont tell mom." How long am I planning to stay out there? Im definitely staying there more than a week after my surgery, perhaps up to 2 weeks so when I come back, Ill "look" normal (with clothes on of course) so Im hoping she wont notice too much too soon although if she does notice I really dont mind. I just want her to not put herself in the hospital over this.

I also got a phone call from Dr. Simon himself, one of the surgeons that I was interested in for a tummy tuck. He was very laid back, down to earth, nice and when he asked where I was from (NJ) he asked about how bad it was during Hurricane Sandy which was nice. I mentioned in a prior email to his office that I wanted to know if after a fat grafting that of course includes lipo, if these areas can receive further lipo along with a tummy tuck. He told me something that I havent heard from any surgeon, he said that I may be pleased with the result of lipo and may want to hold off on the tummy tuck although he has performed this procedure to young women who havent had children yet such as myself and since I have no children and im young my skin should tighten up quite a bit, I really really hope I can do something else other than a tummy tuck, I am allowing at least close to a year before deciding what to do with my stomach and hopefully with a few tricks that im learning about that help with sagginess and buldge I can at least have a mini tuck and not an extended scar. Dr Simon then asked if I had any questions for him and told me that his assistant will get back with a quote. The email had the quote for lipo along with a fat grafting which I already said I was having with another surgeon. I replied asking for a quote for the tummy tuck and I got a reply saying he doesnt recommend one....ok, well thank you for wasting my time. I wasnt asking about his fat grafting. Im going to hold off on the whole tummy situation and getting quotes until after this procedure with Dr. Jimerson and giving myself a yr for my skin to kind of bounce back along with a exercise routine and trying some of these tricks out such as suran wrapping your tummy really tight and then using a sweat belt and doing regular stuff or exercising with it on.
