Ready for my life to change!

Hi, y’all! Lisa here! I am a 39yo single mother of a now adult daughter in the USAF! My life has changed so much in the last year with divorce, job change and my new empty nest. I hit puberty at a young age and my Breast grew in saggy. I’ve also always been over weight. I decided several years ago to diet and lost over 100 pounds. I am currently 5’7, 155 pounds and a size 6. Don’t seem possible right? I fit that mess in a size 6 pants. I’m scheduled for a TT and lift/reduction on Jan 22nd. To say I’m elated is an understatement. However, also nervous. I know it’s normal. Any useful information would be greatly appreciated. I’ve learned so much since visiting Real Self. I ordered my sports bras today and am gearing up for sleeping preparations. I m still preparing questions for my doctor and love hearing the act care info. I want to be as prepared as possible. Thanks so much:)

Yesterday was my pre op apt and it went great. I got a lot of great information regarding the procedure and recovery. My doctor has decided to do a no drain tube procedure and I’m actually pretty happy about it. Wasn’t expecting it but he had only good things to say and my research has provided the same good info. I rented a recliner last night to have for a month during recovery. I have a few things left to get and I’ll be ready. Only 12 day away:) Happy tears today!!

Nerves are starting to set in a little. Definitely becoming more real. And all the questions and what if’s are popping up. Assuming this is pretty normal?! I’m not super worried but can’t help but have those pestering thoughts in the back of my mind. Mostly about my daughter already having lost one parent at 15. She’s 18 now and in the Air Force but I am her best friend. I’m not going to drive myself crazy with it. I know this is still what I want and the excitement is as equal as the anxiety! Subject to change the closer it gets. Hehe.

I was literally so scared I went and got extra life insurance just to be safe because I couldn’t bear the what if. I have 3 small kids so I wanted my husband to be covered as much as possible. As I mom I think it would be weird not to worry lol. I’m sure everything will go fabulous for you!

Thank you!! Tom is the big day so nerves are really kicking in today. Super sock to my stomach. The worry-is taking over the excitement a little bit at this point. I’m optimistic though that it’s going to go great. Thanks so much!! You look great btw!!! ;)
