A short bio about it myself:)

I'm 36y/o (soon to be 37 y/o in March 5th), married, mother of 2 kiddos(11y/o boy and 21 month old gril), 5'4, 140 lbs. I desire this surgery for 11 years but I had mixed feeling and guilty trip. Eleven long years of reflexion, my ruin temple needs improvement after neglect it. While waiting, I walk and run, will tweak my diet a little to accentuate my legs. I trust myself in this journey, of course it will be a rocky road in some days. The important matter is to arrive to the finish line.

I forgot to add which procedures will be done:) A standard abdominoplasty, and hernia repair, lipo (abdomen, waist, back roll). I choose what will benefit me the most in this procedure. I could have chosen to lipo my tight as well, so I'll tone my legs with aerobics or weight lifting.

Yesterday, I made a payment of the final balance with the patient coordinator. Then I went over the details of the procedure and my questions with the nurse.

She handed me as well my prescriptions that I order the same day but my neighorhood's pharmacy was out of Percocet, I will order it today in another one.

I'm a bit nervous, irritable, and anxious. I can't believe after waiting for so long(11 years), I will do it. My mother isn't aware of it anyway, she leaves so far(7500 miles), no need to worry her already with my decision.

My husband finds me fabulous and accept my body the way it is. I don't love this part about it, I workout this body but this stubborn area won't change a bit especially the tummy area. I hide it well with loose clothes or large pants but at the end when you remove the clothing; this area is still present.

I'll be happy when I meet my TT sisters in flat side too;)

You are getting so close! I know you are nervous but I'm sure everything will go wonderful. That is neat that your husband loves your body as it is, but in the end, you want to love it too. :)
