Stomach Pouch Coming off - Sherman Oaks, CA

So much to say. I'll come back to this. For now can I just say I'm a really young 56 who finally lost my pregnancy weight with my youngest baby at age 16, kept it off for a year (SO much harder than losing it) and that my surgery is in less than 2 weeks - TUMMY tuck and BREAST lift (w/a bit of reduction, no lift or implant thank you very much - I had a BR at age 18, a million years ago, and well, they grew back and no way I'm putting anything extra in there). And I can't stay off this site! I'm nervous, excited and everything in between. I have a million questions, many of which you wonderful ladies have already answered here, and I can't thank you enough for that. I may one day get the nerve to post pictures.

So half the price I put above is for the extended Tummy Tuck, and the other is for the breast reduction. Maybe I should have the thread moved? Anyway, I got my medical clearance today. In fact, my doc called me at home to congratulate me on my blood labs - she hadn't seen me since I had just lost the weight, and now, seeing it off a year later was kind of big deal. I'm so proud of myself and ready to finish the job! Again, I have so much more to say. Maybe in my next post.

I'm SO NERVOUS. All I can think about is that this is elective surgery and what if I don't wake up? I am doing two procedures together that some doctors won't do together. But my doctor is very conservative and says I'm healthy, he's never "lost one," and I'll do fine. Plus my doctor okay'd me. Clean bill of health. And then again, I see some people on here who do so much more at once than I'm doing. Is this two-day-before fear normal? Tell me it is!
