Hi everyone, thanks so much to all of you for...

Hi everyone, thanks so much to all of you for posting on this site. It has helped me tremendously. Well I'm a week away from being sliced and diced, the anxiety is building, I just hope that in a weeks time I will be sick and tired of feeling anxious I will just go with the flow. Well I'm 5ft 4 inches short, and weigh 170 pound or 77 kilo. I have 2 adult sons and a wonderful caring husband. Over the past 2 yrs I've lost a massive amount of weight through gastric sleeving and my body seems to have found it's good spot with the weight I am currently at. I will be having my surgery interstate.


I don't mind admitting that I'm terrified about being put to sleep for such along time anywhere from 4-6 hours I'm told. The pain doesn't bother me it's the whole making sure I wake up business that is playing on my mind. There is no backing out now I've paid up and my hospital insurance is good to go. I think I have everything organised loose fitting PJ's, big knickers, x 2 binders and surgical bra, along with bio oil and silicon sheeting, oh and the ever important stool softeners..LOL. Keeping busy the last couple of months while waiting for this has been great. We have landscaped our yard, and for this week I plan on building a new fence with my husband, anything to keep my mind off what is coming up. I know that I'm looking forward to the day after the procedure and will be happy that I had done it. So roll on the 19th I'm fast running out of things to do before this Op.

Don't have a fleur de lis tummy tuck . I had one and woke up with a scar from my pelvis up to my breast bone. Fricking liar. Was not supposed to even go up to my belly button. The idiot couldn't re tie my bellybutton right and 'had' to cut me up higher to get a grip on the dam thing.

Hi Softgirl, I'm ok with the scars from a fleur de lis, as I already have a big scar up the middle from previous surgery. I'm sorry to hear your not happy with your Op but I do hope you get the results you wanted.

Hi Cherribomb, Thanks for your comment. My friend phoned today who had the same work done by the same surgeon and she was telling me how excited she was for me. She still has to pinch herself as she says she's a 47 yr old in a 20 yr olds torso..LOL I'm so looking forward to next Thursday when it's all over..I will post pics of after as soon as I'm able.

Well the countdown is on. Next Wednesday is the big day. The anxiousness has subsided somewhat, mind you that has been more than likely because I've been working myself into the ground trying not to think about what is coming. Anyway my yard is looking the best it's looked in years, the house is totally organised, I'm not quite sure at what point I became Martha Stewart ha ha ha ha ha. But anyway I'm in no doubt now that I've sufficiently driven my poor husband nuts with work lists that he will be very much looking forward to having a break with me post op. I've been reading alot online about the Fleur De Lis and I've found that women can develop swelling in the pubic region and this is called "Ken Doll". Well I have had nightmares about it thinking I may have to purchase male Yfront undies to tuck it all into comfortably. I know what my last words on the table are going to be now. NO KEN DOLL!!.....ha ha ha ha

Good luck!! I can't wait to see your results. I am having the fleur de lis done at the end of January. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
December 14, 2012
Thanks, I will keep you all updated on my progress.
December 14, 2012
I'll be following along as I have my surgery the same day! Good luck!!
December 15, 2012
We will be excited with the results and sore at the same time. Good luck for Wednesday!! Are you only having a Tummy Tuck done?
December 14, 2012
I'm having the fleur de lis too!! How far is your vertical scar going to go up? Where did you find info on that Ken Doll thing you are talking about. I'm not liking that!!!
December 15, 2012
Hi, my vertical scar will go right up to almost between the boobs. I figure if he the PS is cutting he may aswell cup up as far as he needs to so that I get a good result, as he will only ever get on chance at it.....LOL
December 15, 2012
Yeah I hear ya!! Mine is going all the way up too!!
December 15, 2012
Except that in my case there was NO NEED for me to end up with a long vertical scar. My PS didn't know what the frick he was doing.
December 16, 2012
Hiya, Ken Doll is swelling in the mons apparently it blows right up in some ppl...

Well it's Monday night here it's been a long hot day 102 degrees. Have treated myself and had my hair done, then silly me went out to the nursery to buy plants ended up with 35 of them so the hubby and I have been planting most of the day. However it has meant that I've kept busy which has been my whole aim. I just can't wait for Thursday when it's all over and done with. I spoke with the sleep Dr today and requested Pre Meds to calm me prior to the surgery, and she has agreed so that is good. So now all that is left is for me to have a manicure, pedicure and waxing done. Then it's an early start on Wednesday we have a 3 hour flight to get to the state I'm having the surgery in and before I know it all will be done. I'm so hoping for it all to go smoothly.

Hi Andrea, it's so nice to meet another person with the same name. Well my op is tomorrow afternoon. Thanks so much for making me feel better about it.I know I will be fine the moment I open my eyes. It's just the whole going to sleep and not waking up thing that messes with my head.
December 18, 2012
Wishing you the best with surgery!!
December 18, 2012
Thanks, I'm a bit nervous to say the least...Not long now until I reach the flat side!!

Hi Kimmers, Well I'm all sliced and diced, and to be honest what a breeze that was. I'm home now, with absolutely no complaints at all.
December 24, 2012
