I honestly have no idea what to expect, I am nervous! I will also be having a brachioplasty (arm reduction?) at the same time, a breast reduction in December (I'm currently a 34-G) and a thigh reduction in January to remove the loose skin. Nervous but excited and hoping to finally feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Anxiety Anyone?
I am having some major fear and anxiety about my surgery. I have barely slept from nervousness and I don't know how to handle it. For some reason I am terrified of things going wrong, not healing properly, etc., or that it won't look as good as I hope it does. It's a lot of money to spend on something that could go so badly! I'm getting my arms done at the same time so fingers crossed that all goes well and I am panicking for nothing. Did anyone else experience more anxiety than excitement before their surgery?

Pre-Surgery Prescriptions!
Picked up my pre surgery prescriptions today. One is a patch to wear behind my ear the night before surgery and should stay on for two days after, to help with nausea. Got my antibiotics, anti-nausea pills, and an anti-microbial shower soap to use the night before surgery as well.
I will have to check my pamphlet again as well. I think it said to shower the morning of the surgery too, so I am a little worried about the nausea patch coming off in the shower, but the pharmacist said it should stick just fine. Going shopping tomorrow to get some last minute needed items and I am deep cleaning the house this week! As a student, I am also doubling up on my homework so that I don't have to do it in the first few days of my recovery.
Apparently, my surgical hospital has a spa that offers facials, manicures, pedicures, and even has a hair salon. Wow! Trying to decide if I should treat myself or if I'll even be feeling up to it. I was so nervous but now I'm feeling excited. So far I've had nothing but wonderful experiences talking to the staff and the surgeon.

It wouldn't let me add descriptions for the photos for some reason. One is a picture of me on a train, and you can see how much extra skin is around my belly and arms! If it were fat, it could exercise it off, but it's mostly just loose skin and flab from pregnancies and weight loss!

Hi, I'm 3 weeks and 2days post op and thought I could help you through the process to hopefully make things a little easier.
I read you post about how your worried about getting depressed and I'm afraid that's jut part and parcel of it. It's not as bad as people say it is, you just have low days. I think mostly because your so restricted after surgery and most people underestimate the recovery process. I know I did! Your having more work done than me so I can't imagaine how worried you are.
Before my surgery I was so excited and didn't find sleep an issue. Sleeping after is so difficult so I would really try and get as much sleep as you can.
I have done a review on here, feel free to read and look at my pictures.
I would say we are a similar build and have pretty much the same tummy. I think you will get good results.
