13 days until my surgery!! My mom is flying out to help take care of me and my kids. I have decided to do the Atkins diet to try to get off 10 pounds before my surgery. Last night I could not sleep at all, I kept having dreams about the surgery again. I wonder if that is normal?? I have been on the internet almost everyday trying to find pictures and reviews of people who have had this same procedure. I honestly can't wait for this all to be behind me :)

Hello. For losing weight and to help with your healing it would be better to eat nutrient dense foods. Lots of fruits and vegetables. In the form of frozen berries, smoothies, steamed veggies topped with noodles or rice and dressing. Best of luck.

I am so happy for you and making this big decision...I cant wait to see your outcome and how things work. I have to try and loose some weight before my surgery, I am not huge I am 5ft at 137, but all the weight is in my mid section and they have to do extra work because the gap between my muscle is over 4 inches. Very scared now !!!! Good luck and cant wait to see results

Yea the doc said he was doing some extra work on me as well. I have a severe gap between my muscles and he is doing lipo to my flanks. Good luck to you and I hope all goes well with you too.

I had a Fleur De Lis TT November 12th and have breezed thru the recovery! I too was on the internet all day and awake all nite before the surgery. I lost 6 lbs from just nerves. I had a fantastic Dr and wonderful team working on me so just as soon as I arrived the day of the surgery I was "taken care of". I went home the following day with no pain and a pocket full of pain meds..,...I never took one. I did have to take meds for healing and infection, just for protection, but needed nothing for pain (I did take a pill for sleeping for the first 3 nites). I was of course sore and felt tight,so I did not stand up straight for a few days. I had only one drain and had that removed by my 1 week apt. All in all I have to say it was "easy" ... I did take care of myself by not doing much and resting every afternoon. By the second week I was walking my dog in the afternoon and feeling great...the only downside was the swelling...,I wore my compression garmet all the time. I gave up wearing it around week 5 okr 6 but still put on a wrap around compression to sleep in (havent been wearing it for a week or so nowa). I am now at week 10+ and feel right back to normal and have for quite some time. I do have a small area of swelling that does not seem to go away but I have been told to be patient.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FLEUR DE LIS...I WILL BE THINKING OF YOUI!!!

Thanks for that, I am so happy to hear that your pain was minimal. I honestly just can't wait for it to be over. The waiting is sending me into a spiral of emotions ;)

Was that the muscles as well? I'm having same procedure in November and so scared of the pain!

That's awesome that your insurance is covering the procedure. It's a rare occurrence. Lol I got lucky too. They're covering my fleur de lis as well. Can't wait to hear how your doing.
