28 Yr Old Mother of 2 - Can't Wait to Feel Confident! - Edmonton, AB

YAYYYY a Canadian TT buddy on the exact same day :) lol. How are you feeling about it all? I go thru a roller coaster ride of emotions. Yesterday I was looking on this site and I was feeling sick to my stomach and wanted so bad just to cancel! Have you purchased any items yet? Let's keep in touch

I have only booked and scheduled my pre admission visit with my surgeon. I have had waves of am I making a mistake, but I look at my belly flab and know that I want to be able to fit into outfits again without having to tuck in the extra gear.

I am learning this site currently. As soon as I get with it, I'll post some before pictures

I may have to postpone mine until February :( mixed feelings on that as I already keep flip flopping between omg Im so ready to do this, I can't wait, I got this and then thinking what the hell am I going, do I really need to do this, is the pain gonna be worth is! Ahhh it's a struggle and I think postponing it is not going to make those feeling any better... We shall see, I'm waiting to see what's happening with my work situation and then decide by oct, early November.
I bought a foam sleep contour system from Amazon as I don't have a recliner but I haven't opened the box yet because it's going to feel so REAL!! Eee! I am going with Dr.Chong, I have heard really good things about him and I'm hoping everything will go great! I wanted to see Dr.Toy but he wasn't taking any appts even for a consult and I was just so ready to make it happen. You should also posts some pics and keep in touch with your journey :)

You are riding the same emotional roller coaster as me. The only reason I'm putting it of is cause I work up north and would pretty much be leaving my job going back to the hall and getting a number. With the economy the way it is I need to do the smart thing and save for another year just in case it take my a little longer to get back to work than I like. Plu I might go to Europe for a few months and enjoy the new me. Lol. Dr Chong is supposed to be great. It was a hard choice for me between the two. In the end Toy is going to ad a little more lipo than chong and a little cheaper although than was not a thought. I may even go back to chong. Don't put it off to long, just do it if you are able work wise. I have spent a lot of money on everything from abd pad, compression garments, chux pads, pillows, pills,,lol I could go on. I'm done now though. Just have to wait a year. I haven't posted pics cause I thought I'd wait till I was closer to my date. I'm excited to follow your progress. It's funny how alone we can feel in all of this hey. If you ever need to chat shoot me a text.

Ekkkk _TheTimeIsNow_ I'm officially one week away !! Ahhhh how crazy!! I was re-reading my comments and you mentioned abd pads and chux pads... can you please let me know what those are haha?? I think I haven't gotten everything I needed, hoping anyways... send positive vibes my way :)

Have * gotten

Abdominal pads are bout 8x10 gauze pads to put over longer incisions. And chux pads are large absorbable pads to place under you on bed or recliner in case of leaks. Women giving birth at home use them a lot. Birthing pads and such. I ordered all mine online but I'm sure if you went to a medical supply store here in town you can pick them up. Got ab pads from Amazon. They have chux pads to for sure. I was just scrolling through site and can't wait for your day to come. I'm going to schedule my surgery for August 30,2017. Firm no putting it off anymore

Omg I know how you feel for sure! I am just about 2 months to mine and I keep bouncing back between emotions. What doctor did you go with? October 12th is coming up eeeeeee soo exciting but nerve wrecking. Keep me posted on your recovery! I would love to hear how you are you doing! Wishing you all the best and a speedy and pain free recovery. Have you gotten all the supplies that you needed? Any special supplies you might have picked up?

Hey! I decided in Dr. Gervais in Mpls. I went to 3 different doctors and felt like he had some of the best reviews and rankings for our area. I'm still nervous on whether or not I decided on the right one but I think that is all my nerves kicking in Full time now.

Honestly, I have not gotten any supplies yet. I'm not sure what to get. I have a automatic reclining couch and will get my Ned's next Monday. I feel like I'm missing a lot of things to get to prepare :(

Eeekk 2 more days for you. Please keep me posted on your recovery! I'm sure You would do great. I have been making a list of things I think I may need from reading other ppls stories. Some things a lot of people mentioned would be:
Tylenol
Cold/warm Heating pack
Large undies
Stool softener
Loose fitting pants/dresses
Lots of pillows
Handy items nearby like Kleenex/baby wipes etc :)

I know!! I can't believe I go in tomorrow at 630am, my emotions are flying lol.

Thanks for this list :) I think I have everything covered.

I can't believe how many pills I will need to keep track of and take

Best wishes for your journey tomorrow. I will be thinking of you. Hope you can manage a goods nights rest :)

Well Michelle from there office called by right at 9am apologizing for the mistake. I had given them a new address the day she was sending out the envelope. She had sent my envelope to my old address and this other ladies to my new address. Pheewww! I checked my old address and sure enough my envelope was in there :) she explained that surely nothing like that could happen during surgery! She is super nice! So strange though because this woman's name is so similar to mine and my bday is Dec 19 & hers is Dec 21st. So strange lol

That's so good to hear!! Everything will work out and be fine

Does sound like an honest mistake. And they can account why it happened. Most important that your comfortable with your PS and that he is qualified. Wow your getting a new belly for your Birthday:)

It definately did. I was worried at first but my correct envelope was waiting for me at my other address so it worked out ok.

Yayyy for an early birthday gift to me ;)
