Miracle About to Happen!

I wish I could use more characters!! I am having a panniculectomy of the bottom flap of skin/fat, a abdominalplasty for the upper layer of fat/skin with reconstruction, liposuction around my waistline and the reposition of my navel. I am hoping to have no excess skin and contour. (Insurance covers panini but not a tummy tuck so saved some money there)
Once this procedure is complete, I will have a waiting period due to blood loss before we can tackle other areas. I plan to pursue a boob reduction and lift because my frame is small but currently you can't tell because of all this excess skin. I lost over 135lbs in a year. Cardio cardio cardio is the key and don't eat carbs as much as possible. I gave up soft drinks completely which was my weakness so just get motivated and you can do it too. If all goes well with this procedures, I would like excess skin removal on my thighs, lipo possibly on my back and a butt lift IF squats while in my waiting period doesn't take care of those areas. Lots to look forward too but I deserve it! :)

I'm at the hospital and they weighed me this morning at 81.2kg which I don't know what that converts to in pounds BUT I still feel huge anyway. I'm excited to have the procedure and nervous at the same time. Even though the pounds fell off on the scale, it's hard for me to see any results under the skin hanging all over the place. I figure I will do the panni and be able to see where I need to target more after this and decided on a tummy tuck later IF needed. My doctor seems to think I will be happy when this is done and so far he has been correct in everything else I wouldn't be happy with so I'm eager to see the results!!
Pics below show me with clothes and without so I can reference later the effects. My first post has the upper half uncovered but since that's not my goal with this procedure, I'm concentrating on my lower and mid section.

I am writing this the morning after my surgery took place but the pics are from the day of surgery. Everything went smoothly and the doctor is amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Dupin because he cares about your health not just the way you look. He wants to ensure your procedure(s) are effective but safe. ????
I was unable to take my camera or cell with me in the OR so I don't have many pics to share and none of the skin removed. But I a resident doctor was able to send me pics of the drawing on me and a nurse sent me pics of the finished process before they bandaged me all up.
My mother was in the waiting area and was told that about 12lbs of skin and fat was removed. The cut is long across me and kinda looks like a fat roll in the pics but it's not. It's just swollen on that area. I am extremely pleased with the way it looks already so I can only imagine when the swelling goes down and fluids finish draining.
As for pain, I am very comfortable today. They won't allow me to get out of bed to even use the bathroom so I have a Cather in me which I hate but can live with. I also have a pain pump installed so it's been administering what I need, as needed. I was able to eat and drink immediately after surgery bc I was starving after not eating all day. They wanted clear liquids at first in case I threw up from all the drugs used to knock me out. But by the end of the night I ate chicken.
My blood pressure is always low because I have POTS syndrome and it's been acting up some severely since the procedure. If I sit up straight or stand up, my blood pressure drops to 53/32 or close to that area immediately. I am thinking it's because of the blood loss for now but will see the doctor in the am to ask questions. As long as I lay down flat, I'm fine.
They have been giving me some meds to help me sleep but I'm not in pain. I am sore but I don't consider that pain. Nothing you can't deal with. I've seen post where people say they feel like knives are stabbing them but for me at least it's nothing at all like that and makes me wonder if they just need attention or want people to cater to them after surgery. Truth is you will feel it of course but just do what they advise and you won't have all that pain.
Tomorrow (today technically) I am having the caterer removed and learning to enough my fluid bags along with injecting myself with some form of meds in the stomach I think. Not very clear on that so will have to update later. If they can get the fainting and blood pressure stable when I sit and stand then I will be discharged today.
