Robles Nightmare - TT, Lipo, BBL - Dominican Republic

I'm so happy I found this forum. I have been dreaming of the day I could have a flat belly with a lil cute belly button again. I was 19 when I had my first son and it changed my body forever. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because 6 years later, I had a daughter which further destroyed my belly. Instead of just stretch marks on the bottom; they had traveled to the top of my belly. I am a nervous wreck; I'm scared; I'm thinking I am out of my mind to even consider going out of the country for plastic surgery, but I'm doing it. My surgery is scheduled. I took 2 1/2 weeks PTO from work today. My boss instant messaged me and said, "Did you just put in 2 1/2 weeks PTO?". I said yes. LOL!! Well I need to lose 20 lbs and get my MD to prescribe some iron medication because I know I'm anemic. Well here goes nothing ladies. I'm praying for you and please pray for me. You never realize how horrible you look until you take a picture of yourself naked. I swear to sweet baby Jesus I no idea I was so fat. I look in the mirror and I DO NOT see that! I'll build up enough courage to show you guys my before pics one day. But that day won't be today. LBVS!!!!

Well, someone took the last slot for 3/24 so I had to change my date to 4/1. I've paid my deposit and my surgery date has been confirmed. I do like the advice someone gave about flying back first class so I'm going to do that. How far in advance should I purchase my tickets?
