Good Morning I'm sitting here at work and can't think straight... I can't wiat till it's my turn to reach the flat lands. I spoke to my boss about my leave of time and she is very supportive. I'm thinking of my sick leave kind of as a vaction away from work as well. I was talking to my husband last night and he said "Babe you know once you have that surgery you are going to be in a lot of pain". Ok whatever lol. I am ready......................

Oh you can do this!!!  You will be fine and the pain is all temporary.  The results far out weight the short term pain.

Hey I was just thinking about you, how did everything go I'm so happy for you. I notice you put Dr. Ginkas but you meant Dr. Gikas right at Swedish Covanant hospital. I can't wait to hear back from you were you able to take a peak. Less than 24 hours for me I can't wait....
February 26, 2013
Yes Dr.Gikas. No I wasn't able to peek:( but it's definitely flat. I go Thursday to have my bandages changed or taken off. When I can actually see it I'm going to post pics. I was so nervous! My throat was hurting afterwards and I had a slight panick attack. I felt like I couldn't breathe do the anesthesiologist gave me a volume. I still can't believe I did it! Are you ready?!:)

Oh no.... Well I pray everything starts turning around for you! I'm excited for you. Try and get a good nights sleep so the time can go by faster. I'm not sure how far you live from the city but make sure you're on the highway early because traffic was crazy.

Hi Real Self,

Just made my final payment in full. I'm schedule for February 27,2013 at 9:00AM. It's finally here and old boy am I nervous. I did my blood work today and got measured for my garment. I'm having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo to the flanks, also I'm having my underarms done because I have hanging breast tissue that looks disgusting. The time has come so this weekend I will prepare myself for what is next. My doc said I don't need anything extra, but after reading post on here I will grab a few things. OMG it's time Wensday will be here in no time.
