I am scheduled for surgery on 3/21/16. Had lap band surgery 9 years ago. Skin is not as tight as I would like. My breasts have ALWAYS been an issue for me. After my consultation with Dr. Davoudi, we decided that a mommy makeover would be best. Breast reduction, abdominoplasty, lipo of flanks and back. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

As of today, I have 13 days until my surgery date. I start my liquid diet on Monday. Am a little concerned about no wine for a week pre op and up to 3 weeks post op :). Don't judge me..LOL..after a long day at work, moscato and I are friends!! :)) I have been going over my list of things that I will need post op to ensure that every thing is in place. I did decide to go ahead and pay the extra money for the Exparel injection. I want as little pain as possible and if this is suppose to help lessen the severe pain then SIGN ME UP!!! :). A little nervous but excited too. Its been GREAT to see the posts of those who have already had their surgery earlier this month.

What is exparel injection?
March 23, 2016
It's an injection that is placed into the muscle for pain. It's suppose to last about 3 days after surgery.

AMAZING SUPPORT SYSTEM
yetramcMarch 9, 2016
Well, got a text from my mom telling me to check her Amazon account because she has ordered me some items for surgery. I go into her account and see that she has ordered me a wedge contour bed set to use instead of a recliner as well as an Air Relax Air Compression leg massager for blood and lymphatic circulation. My husband asked today what I still had left to buy for surgery or for my preop diet because he is off today and wanted to get the last of my things taken care of on his day off!!! I am so blessed to have my primary support system on board!!!! My dad and my husband will be taking me to surgery and my Mom (who is a nurse practitioner and works nights) will meet us at my house after surgery and will take over my care for the first week following surgery. And did I mention that my dad is a respiratory therapist. AMAZING SUPPORT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surgery date is getting closer and closer. I am scheduled to go back to my surgeon's office tomorrow for a hemoglobin recheck as my levels were a little low at 10.4. My surgeon's office is not too concerned but wanted to ensure that it was not an error with the lab. So to all of those who have transitioned to the flat side and those of us still waiting with anticipation I say, We Got This!!!!!

OMG your day is almost here!!!! So excited for you. Do share how was the preop and the liquid diet?????
March 18, 2016
YES!!! I go in on Monday! Gotta be there at 7am. This liquid diet has been a BEAST!!!! LOL. The bigger issue for me has been not being able to have a glass of wine at night after I get off work. LOL. My PS advises that we stop alcohol use a week prior to surgery because alcohol is a natural blood thinner. LOL. I am sooooo tired of soup!!! will be soo glad when I can eat again. It's funny that when you can't have it, you crave some of the weirdest stuff.
I have spent the last few days getting everything in order. My wedge system that I will be using for sleep came in the mail last week. I picked up all of my post op medications on yesterday. My air compression lymphatic/leg massager came yesterday. I work today and am off on tomorrow. I am on call on Sunday (hoping EVERYONE goes to work). LOL. Then will leave my house about 5 am on Monday because I have to be at the hospital by 7 and Atlanta traffic can be SOOOOOO unpredictable. I am ready. Still nervous but a different kind of nervous.

Yes please do let me know! I will pray all goes well for you on Monday. I ran this week starting to get things in order. Let me know how the wedge system works out for you. I am debating to buy one or just use the power recliner I already have.
Thanks for sharing your journey with this community. I hope you find all the advice, tips, and support you need here to feel prepared to take this big step. Please let me know how we can help.
