WORTH IT$7,100

Surgery is Tuesday; I booked only 10 days in advance, really on a whim. Nervous and excited at the same time. This is something I have had in the back of my mind for a few years now but always a "someday" thing (which really means I'd probably never do it). It's already paid for, so no turning back now! I will post some before and after pics as time and healing allow. On a happy note, doctor said I don't need any lipo because there's no fat, it's really just skin on my stomach. That makes me feel good in a weird way. :)

did u find winter was a good time for surgery? not sure if season makes a difference but it seems the summer would b harder.

Winter was good because it gave me time to recover for summer. Personally I'd do late fall or winter for that reason. Good luck with your decision!

1 day pre

A Few "Before" Pics

LauraInNJJanuary 27, 2014

I took some "before" pics - 1 day pre-op. I really can't believe at this time tomorrow I'll be in surgery!

I also can't believe I am about to share these pics!

I am working from home today trying to prepare for surgery tomorrow. I have one more prescription to get, laundry to do, cleaning and whatnot. Did a big grocery shop yesterday so that there's enough food in the house for the next couple of weeks. Feeling a bit of anxiety but I know this is the right thing to do for myself, and I can't wait to see the results!

Day of treatment

Today is the Day!

Leaving any minute now, a bit nervous. I feel rather "backed up" despite the liquid diet, milk of magnesia and enema yesterday - I didn't really "go" that much even with all that. Wish me luck! I will update when I can.
