TT

So my pre-op is this Tuesday. I need to decide if I can settle for a regular TT or get the Body Lift which will smooth my back fat as well. It's a 3k difference plus larger area to care for while healing.

This morning I had my physical, blood work, and then pre-op appointment. I just decided to just go with the regular tummy tuck. The doctor told me that I could smooth out my back with working out and weight loss so decided to just go ahead and save the money. The Dr specified that the TT will address my biggest concerns so that was good to know enough. I him that I'm deciding not to get a belly button, he was at a loss for words even though I had mentioned previously. He said that most people will find it abnormal didn't recommend it but, but in the same sentence said it made his job easier so I if that's what I want then he"ll do it. I just had to sign a consent form which I'm totally okay with, I just really don't feel like I want to deal with a belly button and I don't plan on wearing a belly shirt, but if I do then I just won't have a bellybutton so oh well. Lol. I paid my balance and reviewed all my instructions and prescriptions. This is real you guys!

Had some plumbing issues at home when I'm trying to save leave at work so that was a mess including my liability with the association for water damage to my neighbor below. Had to appeal a grade in a class so that was another battle. My mom will be coming to help out so I'm doing major spring cleaning and am pretty consumed with all the above emotionally . She doesn't support the surgery, says I'll have a ugly scar and I just need to lose weight ( despite me explaining extra skin can't be removed with weight lost). I'm not sure it's even a good idea to have her come considering it might turn into a " I told you so" situation if I voice any dissatisfaction along the way. I am taking the Friday of surgery and Monday off and working from home for about two weeks so I lucked out my boss approved that. I'm excited about my surgery and doing my best to stay grounded because stress is the last thing I need considering the physical trauma my body will soon endure. I need to update my paperwork ( Will, who can make medical decisions in case of emergency etc since I'm separated and don't need an ex having rights when we are estrange) so that my daughter is covered in case of anything ( she's 13 and I'm a single parent). Does anyone have recommendation on temp disability insurance in the event there are complications- like AFlac ( better safe than sorry right?)
