Hello - I am a 48 year old single mother of two. My daughter is 28 and my son is 18. My son is now in his 1st year of college. I still can't believe it! Can you say grown and gone? I have done my job, sacrificed for my family, now its time to do me!! Its time for me to get my groove back. Every year I do a self evaluation. I came to the realization that the last couple of years I had situations in my life that were really draining me! I realized that sometimes you have to drop the extra baggage. Friendships, relationships and situations. I've done that! And now its time to celebrate. I'm going to celebrate the new me starting off with a new tummy!! FTT with Lipo to the flanks and lower back.

I'm 5'10". I'm not looking to be a skinny chick. But I do want to be a flat bellied chick! LOL! This is my gift to myself! I'm not telling very many people. So I'm glad I have found you all to share my journey. My mom and my daughter are very supportive of my decision. I'm lucky to have my mom on my side. She is a retired registed nurse. So I will be well taken care of during my recovery. My journey officially begins tomorrow. I will go to my pre op appt. Drop off my cash and start counting down the days!! I look forward to sharing my journey with you. Just as I look forward to cheering you on through yours!

I think it's great that you are giving your self this gift. We get taken for granite when it comes to treating our selves. Yes we may go buy a new pair of shoe's or get our hair done but doesn't every one? I don't consider those things as gift they are part of our every day routine. Being able to have this kind of procedure done is a true gift.

Enjoy your gift you so deserve it.

I posted those pics and immediately deleted them from my computer and my camera!! How humiliating! The ONLY reason why I posted those were because others were brave enough to share their experience with me. :) I saw yours too. We're going to get through this with flying colors!

I totally agree....brave souls who post "before" pics that remind me of me gave me the courage to finally do this for myself and have faith it will be ok. They rock, and now we rock too ;)

This weekend was awesome!! Had a party to celebrate my sista girls!! I had 12 of my girlfriends over for food, drinks, jacuzzi and great conversation. We had a fabulous time. A few of them spent the night, so we woke up and made a nice champagne brunch. I have the best friends ever! Those that didn't know, I shared with them about my upcoming procedure. Everyone was happy for me. They all offered their love and support. What a great feeling. 9 more days and I will be in flat tummy land!! This week I will fill my prescription and pick up everything else I need. Geez! Its Monday again??

I am officially at the 7 day count down. I dropped off my prescriptions yesterday. Picked up everything I need. I'm ready to roll. I'm not nervous, just ready to get past the recovery phase. Thanks again to all of you who have shared your stories. More than likely I have read each and every one of them! LOL! I'm obsessed with this site! I am so glad I found it. You ladies are the BEST!!!

Five days, girl! How you holding up? I so hope you post right away post-op to let us know how you're doing. It will probably be the last thing on your mind, or the last thing you feel like doing (posting) but hopefully you can check in. :)

I'm pretty calm. This month has come so quickly. The days are flying by. I watch for the posts from our girls as they come out of surgery. Everyone is doing well. PotteryGranny was in and out of surgery and on her way home eating ice cream! LOL! I can only hope I do as well. You are two days after me, how are you holding up? You ready?

I'm good with the exception of a UTI (being treated with sulpha) and a sinus infection/cough (which can't be treated as they won't prescribe two different antibiotics at the same time). I never get sick, so I'm guessing it's nerves. Hoping the cough goes away, as I've read coughing + TT's = misery. The good news is, my doc prescribed a post-op pain med that is also used for cough suppression. Lucky coincidence.

Thinking of you!!!

I saw PotteryGranny's post, lol! And how about DianeLynne - so sucky.

ohhhh! Whats the name of that pain med?? My concern is sneezing! I sneeze every morning like clock work. Thats what scares me. I don't want to pop anything.

I feel bad for Dianne. So much prep for nothing. You would think they would just postpone her for a day. Hopefully thats what they did, haven't heard anymore from her. Maybe she is in recovery?
