I am 43 years old, I have 3 kids; 20, 17 and 10. I'm ready to get rid of the extra in my tummy, have my boobs back to where they used to be and not start a fire when walking with my thighs! My procedure is scheduled for November 11th and I'm super excited! I have been considering these procedures for a long time but was very nervous to do them until I found this website.

The dreaded Before photos...
TxnnGANovember 4, 2015
I decided to take some photos so I'll have a baseline to compare to after surgery. What a humbling experience that was! So, a little more about me: I'm 5'8 and weigh around 180, which is heavier than I want to be but that's just a number. I bought myself a Tanita scale and have been tracking my water weight, fat weight and the leftover weight - muscle and bone. I have about 50 pounds of fat!!!
When I went in for my initial consult, Dr. Son told me I had to quit smoking and any nicotine aids too. I'm happy to say that I accomplished both and it was awful!!! I never want to smoke again just for how painful quitting has been. Anyway, the result of quitting smoking has been that I gained some weight, nibbling stuff but also because nicotine changes your metabolism. I have been working out and I hope to make this my new habit. I really enjoy it and get a high on endorphins when I do it.
All that said, here are my before pictures.

You go girl! Quitting smoking is quite a challenge! If you can do that, you can do anything! I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Song - a brilliant, humble, precise surgeon - who doesn't over charge! :)

So far that has been my experience...any words of wisdom for me as I am preparing?

Well, my best advice is to stick with the exercise and clean eating. Do squats until they just don't hurt anymore! Having strong legs has helped me get out of bed and off the potty! Also, be sure to have a good caregiver the first few days who helps you stay on top of your medicines.

The time is getting near, I picked up all my prescriptions today! I am really excited about Wednesday but I'm also so nervous. The amount of time for the surgery freaks me out a little, praying everything g goes well. For now, I just have to keep calm.

PS usually prescribed some kind of injectable blood thinner so u don't get blood clots after surgery. They should explain to u how to do it before they send u home.

Yes, he did tell me and they gave me a box but I still need to go fill the prescription.
