worries/supplies

$4,500
This past week has been so hard, help bailed out on me and I started to freak out. But, things are slowly falling into place. My husband is taking an extra day off, that makes it 3 and my mom will be here helping me out with the little ones. Im only one week away from the surgery and guilt, fear and concern are creaping up on me. Im feeling guilty for spending all this money on me, I'm scared something is gonna go wrong and I might not wake up :(. I'm concerned because I'm gonna be out of commission for at least 2 weeks and my family needs me. But a tiny part if me is really excited :)

Supplies:
So far I have these and I hope I dont need any more.
*Pre-op supplements
*arnica montana
*post-op supplements
*scar sheets
*kelo-cote
*milk of magnesium
*stool softner
*hydrocodone
*acetaminophen
*Hibiclens wash
*dressing bandages
*gauze
*alcohol swabs
*hydrogen peroxide

*throw up container (one I got from the hospital when I had my son)
*recliner
* side table
* Toilet raise
*shower chair
* removable shower head
* a new sport bra with back support and front hooks. Even though I don't know what size I'll be after.

I have an appt with dr Ramirez. How did your surgery go? Can u please post after pics?? I'm getting a BA and TT
I'll post some pics later, I backed out on the tummy tuck the day before my surgery and had BA lipo on flanks, abdomen and waist. ..I highly recommend Dr. Ramirez, I'm very happy with my results...he contoured my body perfectly :) just what I wanted.
I am having Surgery April 3, 2014 with Dr. Victor Ramirez and I am posting all my before and after pictures and details on Real Self. Follow my blog (s) for updates. *Very Excited* realself.com/review/mexicali-baja-california-mommy-makeover-abdominoplasty-full-tummy-tucks-full
I AM FOLLOWING YOUR LIPO JOURNEY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING NOW AND POST SOME PICTUREES, I MAY GET SURGERY WITH HIM IN DECEMBER. THANKS
I'm torn between with DR to choose anyone have any comments on DR victor Ramirez?
If you lift anything over 5 lbs or twist or bend down or stretch up for any reason for four weeks after this surgery, you can greatly jeopardize your results and risk complications like displaced implants, hematoma, seroma, etc. that you would possibly need revisionary surgery for and another month to heal. Please seriously consider hiring help at home for housework and child care for a few weeks. Even lifting your child one time during these first few weeks could shear the two healing surfaces off of each other inside your tummy and cause a seroma that has to be drained repeatedly. This is major surgery, and it is WAY easier to ruin your results than with say, a C-section or appendectomy or anything because of both implants and trying to get a huge flap of abdominal skin to stretch and redrape and reattach....
Get some loose dresses like the pj ones at Walmart for $5 so your comfy and stock up on Chapstick lol

Having second thoughts :(

I received my healing supplements from make me heal, and started taking them.But I'm having second thoughts about the whole thing, my help just bailed out on me. Keep in mind that I have a 4 and 18 mo little ones. My husband will be off for the first three days but since I won't have anyone to help after, I'm starting to freak out. I don't know what to do :(
