After reviewing this site for approximately 8 months, reviewing different Drs, reading posts, etc. I finally took the leap and had my eyelid surgery done! Piece of cake!
I also had Vaser Lipo done on my outter and inner thighs (ouch)! I plan to have a mommy makeover as I reach a manageable weight:

I was up late, couldn't sleep and decided to post. Sometimes, spell check is not your friend!!
Thank goodness for the real self community and the stories. Without finding this, I honestly don't believe I ever would have completed my eyelid surgery, nevermind considered more.
As I was being marked, I was excitedly thinking, I can not believe I am doing this. I was never that person that would put those wants first and go for it. But through reading all of the other journeys, I realized I wasn't alone and it was ok to want something for myself.

Stitches have already fallen out...

As I was cleaning my eyes today and ran a qtip over my eye, a whole stitch came out. As we looked closer, we realized that all of the stitches have already fallen out. Surgery was just Wednesday. Everything looks good, just a little concerned.
