So my supplies are purchased, deposits paid, bags are packed, flight booked and cash ready. I fly out on 12/21.....It's all very surreal. Is that me or am I watching some other insane women get ready to have surgery in the DR? Mommy makeover here I come. My surgery date 12/22 with Dr. Miguel Mota. TT, BL with implant and lipo for BBL

I've been up since 3am thinking.....I'll be alone in a foreign country depending on an app to express my needs to medical personnel after major surgery. WTF? What was I thinking? I am stressed out. Like worrying ever solved a single problem.....I am ashamed to say I have gained weigh since starting my journey just from stress eating. I can't wait to get back at it after surgery. I'm a beast in the gym- cross fit, 5k jog and plyometrics. I have waffled in the last year but I started at 290lbs then I lost all the way to 165lbs current I am right about 200(for shame) I know but I did it once I can do it again. I am ready to love this body. Even at 165 the extra skin was too much and my [RS bleep] were flat as pancakes.

My date was bumped to Tuesday. I was said but I was already on the ground so I had tosuck it up. I got all my labs Monday and pay $20 for and x Ray at another facility. The running around with out eating was had but when you are as thick as I am hunger is a state of mIndiana not actual event. So I kept it moving with a veggie shake Monday midday and the some Dominican food (not spicy)about 7. That was all my eating. I had to be at the surgery center at 7:30 am. So I answered some question and signed some forms on Spanish (yes I typed paragraphs in my translated app). I took the blue pill then the anesthesiologist came in. By the time he put the iv in I was a sleep. I have a low tolerance for every thing. That was about 10 am. Next time I woke up it was 7pm and my husband was blowing dr mota up. Mota true to form told him I was fine and resting. He also assured him I would call when he went to chk on me. Which he did. I was still dreaming/hallucinating that I didn't Remember talk to my own man!
