$6,060
I went to have my consultation with Dr. Turkle and I was very nervous. I had been shopping around and although I had seen a few doctor's, I alway felt as if they were trying to sell me something that I did not ask for. One doctor made me feel as if I needed to have this, this and that done. It made me feel self conscious and it was insulting. Dr. Turkel was kind, professional and only discussed the procedure that I wanted. She made me feel as ease, and I really appreciated that. I surprised when I schedule my appointment that same day. I am looking forward to the surgery; however I am afraid. I am hoping that I get exactly what I want. With that being said, I trust Dr. Turkel to do her best. I will do a follow up post after the surgery.

preop today
I had my pre-op appointment today. I got prescriptions for my pain meds and I purchased the vitamins that my doctor recommended. I think I want to get my flanks done. I believe it will give me better results. Not as nervous now. Just ready to get on the other side, the flat side. It's getting real. I am still contemplating posting those before body shots.

It's sounds good but, you have to give yourself daily injections for 10 days to prevent blood clots, and no one told me that those injections would cost 250. :[

My doctor has not mentioned that at all either. I haven't heard about the shots. I'll have to call and ask the office about it.

I'm post op day 1. I feel great and am so happy with how flat I am. Very little pain and only when I get up and down. I feel like I could walk a mile with no problem. Really doing good! I posted my postop pics if you care to have a look.

2 days until my transition to the flatside
I am counting down the hours now. Today is my last day at work. I decided to give myself a day to mentally prepare for my tt surgery on Thursday at 8am. I have been plagued with a worldwind of emotions. One minute I'm happy, and in the next minute I'm scared. I feel excited, overwhelmed, scared, giddy, nervous, grateful, blessed, all at the same time. I kinda feel like I did the day before I received my Master's Degree. Although I deserved it, the reqality of really accomplishing it was surreal. Mostly, I feel as if I am realizing a dream, just like I did then. This whole expereince is beautiful and humbling all at the same time. Please pray for me. thanks
