Well, I had liposuction 10 yrs ago. Since then I've exercised moderately and also had another baby. All the weight has drifted back into my abs and chin areas. I feel I picked a pro doc he has great credentials and nice referrals but who really knows...The problem is he gave me Valium pre op 5 mg and I have had to take one to two a day all week for nerves and my procedure is tomorrow. I asked the anesthia dr he says they do not interfere with meds in procedure. I am just having a total anxiety and cannot hardly sleep and doomsday thoughts of blood clots or embolism and feel guilty cause I have 2 children. That depend on me. Anyhow I have been extremely unhappy with my stomach and opted for lipo over TT. I fall In The grey zone where both ways was an option. I know i will have some excess skin. I know these thoughts are in my head but I'm going emotional big time I woke up and cried this am. I am going to do it cause I am little and can't take the 6 month prego look anymore my confidence is gone. I want to be a happy mama for my kids and feel good. I don't know if all this Valium is good before hand but its not good to over stress either. I'm ready. I hired a nurse to take care of me after. I don't know if I'm freaking out with reason or not but my dr has assured me he has never in 30 years had a complication and I will be fine. I am trying to be positive and also i have quit smoking permanently as I want a healthier me. I have to do this my body look like 4 sticks, arms and legs a pot belly and a double chin. I stretch all my shirts out to try and cover. In my head I'm hot cause i am cute but when I go out guys are like yuck... It shouldn't matter but I agree when I get dressed. Anyway scared. Scared. Scared. Tomorrow is the day. Pray I can just get back to me again before the bulge and be safe and happy. - thanks
