You WILL NEVER regret this choice :-) Its the best thing ever and you will do just fine! Prepare by having good pain meds ahead of time, REALLY good vitamins (got mine from MMH the Vitamedica pre-post op plus the Sinechh tablets) and just try and focus on positive outcome. I had a hell of an ordeal but none of which had anything to do with anything other than long wAit before dr ever started my surgery, I think I was under for 6-7hrs and honestly I would never have believed it... Once they get you slightly sedated the next thing you know you are out like a light & then waking up! This was the best thing I have personally done for myself & only wish I had done it 12 yrs ago! You will do just fine and if afterwards u are unable to get straight up your dr will give you blood thinners so you don't need to worry about blood clots! Just listen to your dr's instructions & do plan on being restful for the first two weeks! Hardest part is the anticipation & then it's all done, you then will feel better each day afterwards and honestly I had a lot done (not all good stuff lol) but the worst pain was the muscle spasms in my upper rib area from extensive repair that needed to be done! Make sure to remember if you get this type of pain ASK FOR VALIUM ASAP!!! That was the only med that kicked the pain down! Once the dr started it (day 2) , I was like a new person and was able to get on with the healing!! You will be so happy you did this for YOU! Feel free to ask me anything & the ladies on here have been fantastic! I was lucky bc my best friend had this done 4 wks b4me and she told me everything as she was going thru it! Hang in there trust me, it's better than any other gift lol!!! xoxo

Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. I will probably read your post several times before next Wednesday. I hope, in a few weeks I will be as encouraging to others as you are to me today. I'll keep you posted. :-)

I think you will have great results, it's a process and really it takes one day at a time... My only tip would be that everyone's different no matter how prepared you think you are it's totally different when u actually have it, just remember its a process and don't pick yourself apart (I do it a lot) and look at the positives always and don't focus on the negatives that u "think" you have... Can't wait to hear and see your results :)

I think you will have significant change. one way my ps said to test it was to lay flat on your back, and that's how flat your stomach will be because all the extra fat falls to the sides. There are lots of things you can do to prevent blood clots :) I was sooo scared of anesthesia but when I woke up it was like nothing happened, except I had the shivers. Cant wait to see how things turn out for you :)_
