WORTH IT$10,000
I'm scheduled for TT w/lipo and hernia repair on May 10. It's been an interesting mental process. When I was in the doc's office she said, "I'll throw in a breast reduction for half price." I said, well, actually, I like my breasts the way they are. She seemed pretty stunned by this information. I'm in the unusual position of NOT hating my body. Yes, it has taken a lot of work to get here, and I don't mean dieting, I mean learning. Learning to love myself. My decision to do the TT, other than the hernia, is for physical comfort. But I would be fine either way. I suppose that eliminates the possibility of being unhappy with the results!

Good news! My tt was moved up a week to May 2. I'm happy because it gives me an additional week of recovery before my trip. It is now NINE full weeks before I fly. Feels better to think I'll probably be up to most activities by then (can you say camping in Glacier National Park?). I found some "before" pics on this site that look just like me. The results are amazing. I can't imagine it. I'm going to take some pics and post them. I'm starting to have really anxious dreams. Need a pep talk!!!

I spend WAY too much time reading reviews on this site! Glad I do, though, because I am so inspired by everyone's results. Here is a bit more about me: I'm turning 49 in a month, sort of mid-way through my recovery. I have 4 kids, 21, 17, 15 and 11. I'm recently divorced, but that's another story. I was unfortunate enough to grow up with 3 extremely thin (can you say ballerina?) sisters, while I was always kind of healthy-normal. I looked HUGE next to them, so I was dieted nearly to death. I have always worked out and eat a healthy, mainly veggie diet. I don't have issues with food or junk or sugar at all. I was weight stable all my adult life until my first pregnancy. i gained a normal 35 lbs, and basically 21 years later that's still my weight! i suppose I'm grateful I didn't end up 140 lbs overweight! Anyway, my trainer is totally stumped. I just don't lose weight no matter what. So finally I decided the problem is that I'M NOT ACTUALLY FAT! I'm all belly, and I've given it an eviction notice. I'm very, very ready to go into this next stage in my life. Two things are not going with me, my belly and my wedding ring. until the next lucky guy comes along, that is.
