So Anxious! -Newport News, VA

Good luck:)

Good luck in your journey !

Stop worrying about the surgery. Sounds like you picked a great doctor and if he's not worried you have shouldn't be either. Your PS won't do anything to compromise your health. It would not look good in his record either, lol. Recovery is a different story. Get your support people in place and plan on resting. It's emotional and painful but once you get over the first couple of weeks you'll be feeling better each day. Just keep in mind WHY this is important to you. As for the peanut gallery ... I'm still going through that with my mother in law. She was furious I spent the money on it. Well.. Since I've never asked for a dime I don't feel it's her place to make that call. So she continues not to speak to my husband or I. It's been over 3 weeks. Her choice. I've been a great daughter in law and maybe someday she will realize how foolish she's acting. I was reluctant to tell people but I ended up telling everyone at work on the last day before I was off. Let it all settle and they can hash out opinions while I'm gone. I've done this for me. Sooooooo.... Stop worrying, start preparing and keep us updated with pics! You'll do great :))

BREATHE! Lol, you'll do fine. And as my mom always says, "everybody has opinions about everything". The only one (opinion) that matters is YOURS. As long as you have plucked a reputable doc, have a good support system for recovery, you'll do FINE. Try to stay calm, healthy and rested til your surgery!

My surgery is in a couple days and i am a little nervous but mostly about recovery. But i know i'm making the right decision for me. I have lost a lot weight and have sagging skin issues which need to be corrected. Don't worry about what other people think it's not their body or their money...you have to be comfortable in your own skin. You are NOT going to "leave" your children for a smaller waist...if anything you will be an even better mom because you won't have to worry about your excess skin and the discomfort that goes along with it. You will do great, look forward to following your journey :)
