I've wanted this ever since I started gaining weight 12 years ago. Well, after two years of working hard, 6-7 days a week in the gym, I lost100 lbs and got my body fat to 20%. As most who are getting this procedure or who are considering it, you know all the exercise in the world won;t get rid of that hanging skins so here we go! I am excited but nervous. I have heard all the horror stories about clots and wound issues with healing, etc. This board has been invaluable for the many on here who have shared their feelings and those who have already gone through it and offered their suggestions and tips.

Had my pre-op today. My PS said I could continue...
Everything else was staus quo info.Got my questions answered and then went for my bloodwork and diagnostics.
My "nurse" was a little new and stabbed me in 3 different places trying to get blood. After stabbing number 3 I made her get someone else. Then my EKG was abnormal (she didn;t connect one of the leads) and finally, my blood pressure was high. Small wonder.
So now I have to monitor it for two weeks prior to surgery, twice a day or they won't do the surgery. It isn't usually high but I did take a fat burner this morning and had a cup of coffee on my way to the appointment-lol, nd she aggrevated me.
They won't give the prescriptions in advance since S. Fla is the pill capital of the country and they are controlled substances, so have to wait until day of. Got my binder and am looking on line for the other garments.
Hired a home health aid for the first few days as I just don't like depending on people but if I have to I would rather it be a professional.
Have everything else and I guess I am ready. Not nervous, just not looking forward to the recovery, being out of the gym, being still-that kind of down time so doesn't suit my personailty, but oh well!
