My surgery is 29 days away. I am getting liposuction and a tummy tuck. I weigh 163lbs. my highest weight was 170lbs. I lost 7lbs which is good. I would love to lose more, go down to about 145lb but I don't see it happening. Went to the doctor to get blood work and everything done for them to clear me for the surgery. So hopefully that goes well. Can't wait til the day. Will post before pics soon. Not ready yet sorry. Go to the place on the 12th to see if I'm cleared. Fingers crossed

Thank you for joining us on your journey to the new you.  This next month is going to fly by quickly.  Have you lined up help at home for the recovery period?

Join in the December Forum and make connections with others also having surgery in December.

I have people that's gonna help me but I don't think they can help me like I need the help. Especially with my 3 yr old

Take any and all help you can get for the first few days.  There are many things you can do prior to surgery to get set up.  Have food prepped and everything on hand in the house.   Your 3 year old will be ok, just make sure not to lift him/her at all.

Surgery update

scorpio34
Just got a call from my doctor referring me to see a hematology-oncology doctor. Very worried right. Pretty sure it might not be anything but this might end up prolonging my surgery. Very scared and nervous right now. Really freaking out even cried. Hopefully when I go see the doctor on the 12th they don't have bad news for me and I can still get the surgery on the 30tb. Fingers crossed

Went for my Pre Op today so far appt. is still scheduled for the 30th. Was told not to gain any weight but I'm definitely gonna try and lose weight for the 2 wks that I have left. They're gonna look at my blood work and call me in a wk to let me know what time to come for my appt. They told me my dos and don'ts. They're gonna send my medication over to my pharmacist.
