Full Filling Promise to Myself! Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck with Breast

ldyhaz
Over 14 years ago I had gastric bypass and lost well over 100lbs. In the last five years I started running and really eating healthy. My promise to myself was when I got to the point where I could consistently maintain I would have a tummy tuck and breast implants. I have done it!!

9 years ago I had a bowel obstruction and I now have a vertical scar and a misshaped tummy. That along with the loose skin really makes me self conscience . Spandex is a wonderful thing but can only hold so much in. Doing yoga I am so distracted by the hanging flesh. Private times with my husband are uncomfortable because I am aware of this flapping mess. Through the weight loss my breasts have sagged and gotten smaller.

All kinds of emotions have be going through my brain. Excitement and Fear being the biggest. I have done my research and I have complete faith in my surgeon. I am not expecting perfection just improvement. Since I currently have a well healed scar vericially I am not too concerned about having the extra scar. My biggest fear is just the operation it self. Normal pre op nerves. My plan is to prepare my home for my return and healing time. I have a super supportive husband. I am 8 days to surgery and I am hiding from the world just hoping not to get sick. That's also a big fear. Staying healthy until the day.

Decided to start this blog because my PS being in such a small town only has one written review from several years ago. (about this procedure)
fleur de lis tummy tuck.

I am really getting excited. I have done all my research. I have managed to avoid catching any nasty bugs...So far so good. Found the perfect hotel for hubby. Next couple of days I will stay busy, finish cleaning, cooking and setting things up for my return. Will continue to avoid people!!

I know!!! Several family members and the local schools are just infested!! Even canceled a hair appointment for toady. I am keeping my Massage for Tuesday evening. Figure that is going to be helpful. As the day gets closer I feel calmer. I read up on the hospital and it is a very new hospital and they are super serious about infections control measures. They also have several medical specialists right on campus. I know I will be in good hands.

Added bonus!, For years I have had pains off and on in my stomach. Just figured It was old age and something I had to live with. My wonderful PS located and fixed a Hernia!,,
