I have been overweight for the last 15 years. My highest weight was 240 lbs. during my second pregnancy. Being only 5' 2", carrying most of my weight in my tummy, I have finally got down to 160 lbs and have scheduled my tummy tuck and breast lift with silicone implants. I am nervous but so ready for the next 6 weeks to pass so I can get it done. I have put a lot of time and work into losing the weight. But when I look in the mirror, all I see is the fat chick because of my tummy. I'm not looking to be perfect, I just want to see more progress than what I do now. I go for my pre-op on May 14th and I am anxious to find out what he will say about what he thinks my end result will be.

Pre-op
Well, I went for my pre-op yesterday and everything went great. It is now 3 weeks until my surgery and I am more than prepared. My bag is packed, meds are filled, I have my last minute shopping list made, and a very detailed list of instructions for my hubby, who is taking care of me, as well as, our 2 kids! I thought I would have been more nervous but I'm not nervous! I'm anxious! And so the countdown officially begins! Whoop whoop!

Hey! I know you're getting anxious! Tomorrow I will be 10 days post op...feels like just yesterday I was in your shoes! Check out my profile for advice! Also...a lift chair (the remote control recliners) has saved my life! I'm still sleeping in mine! Last note...set a timer for your medication and take it 15-20 minutes early so that it doesn't wear off, also take your muscle relaxers! Trust me...if you do this for the first 3-4 days you'll be most comfortable. Oh...and last thing, a shower seat!! There was no way I could stand up in the shower even now standing still without my CG is exhausting! Good luck sweetie!!! Message me if you have any questions :-)

The only thing I am nervous about is that he is on vacation the next week so I have to see his partner! I have such a great relationship with Dr. Delatte, I'm scared to see anyone else! But I am ready for Thursday to get here! And I will update as much as I can! Give you as many pointers and tips that I can! I so glad you were able to schedule yours! He is a wonderful surgeon! I can't wait to see my results! Now to just wait!
