The Next Chapter - Las Cruces, NM

Whoohoo, it is gonna happen tomorrow. I can hardly stand it, I am so excited!!!!!!!!! My mom and I will leave to Cruces tonight, tomorrow is surgery, and then we will come back on Thursday. Thank you to all who have been rooting for me!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed as a friend of mine says. Also, saying many prayers. Got a call from ps that they still did not receive clearance from regular doctor's office and the person that saw me wasn't in today. So, went to mom's doctor and they did a ekg and chest xray and reviewed bloodwork. He said he would clear me as soon as the coagulation test results came back. Thing is my surgery is scheduled for Wed, the 18th. So, waiting to see if he can fax it first thing in morning so I can have surgery on Wed. I really liked this doctor and believe I will now be seeing him. I feel better too, at least he did a physical and other things to give me clearance. Other office did not, just gave thyroid meds and said it was ps decision. This has been so frustrating, but now hope to be on the road to the flat side!!! Please continue to send positive thoughts and prayers my way in hopes that my surgery gets done. Thank you!

Wishing those who recently received their new flat tummies are healing well.

Update....regular doctor won't clear me for surgery, just states that they are treating me for my condition and that it is my plastic surgeon's decision to do the surgery. After back and forth phone calls between me, reg. doc office and ps office and faxes back and forth, the ps office said that since my freeT3/freeT4 levels are normal and I am being treated for the thyroid issue the ps and anesthesiologist say it should be good. PS will double check this weekend but said to go ahead and leave the date for Wed, the 18th and they will let me know 100% on Monday. I totally understand their point, but the waiting is so hard. So, trying to be reasonable and positive, but not get hopes up too too high!

Please send prayers, positive thoughts, cross fingers toes and eyes that it is a go and that everything will be good. Thank you!!
