Having this surgery has been on my list for so many years. After years of hiding, covering up, avoiding men, and at times obsessing over my flaws i am finally finacially able to tale the plunge. I just can't even believe it is about to happen. I am so excited!!! I do believe the realself stories has helped motivate me to keep moving forward. I have enjoyed them all and sadly but true i realized so many feel as I do. I can't wait to get this started....8 more days

Hi newbme....good luck to u on your decision to treat yourself. At this point i believe you are going thru a range of emotion to include doubt and questioning...why am i doing this....that's all part of this journey...knowledge is power...as long as you have done your research, then you have made your decision with confident ...is some one travelling with you?

No doubts here. I've been wanting this for 30+ years. I actually can't hardly wait. I'm like a little kid over here trying to control myself...lol!

Well most everything seems to be falling into place
Deposit- check
Payment- check
Flight-check
List of questions for Laura- answered- check
Items to take- check
Important numbers, addresses, emails given to family- check
RH- UnKnown, depends on what's available.
Extra garment shipped to wrong address and won't be here before I leave. I will only have the one they provide.
Tried to get my hemoglobin checked at an Urgent Care but results wouldn't come in the same day. Praying it will be high enough

Will I actually need all these things? What can/should I leave at home?

Hard to say. Especially traveling so far. Better to take and not need than need and not take.

Could you post the actual items that you needed. I'm happy to hear from a Queen in the 50 club like myself. I'm headed to Robles in May. Any info, tips would be greatly appreciated.
