I found an awesome Dr. And scheduled my surgery. I Went to my pre-op last Monday and the reality finally kicked in. Tears came pouring out. When the PA came in all I could get out was, "I've wanted this for so long". And it's finally coming true as if it were a dream. I'm so excited. I will update as I go.

Emotional morning
I woke up early and found myself here on RS reading the many experiences in healing, swelling and life on the flat side. I have always been so self conscious of my belly, so I got up and decided to take pictures in hopes of coming to terms with the reality I have been hiding from for so many years.

Pictures are good! You can look back at them and say wow! I feel and look so much better now! Just be patient! Unlike me!

So much going on.
There are so many things going on right now, from trying to find a three position lift chair to making sure my little ones have everything they need. I think I'm a control freak because I'm finding it very difficult to let go and rely on someone else to care for me. I've even thought about hiring someone to come in and help my husband take care of me....truly gives me anxiety just thinking about it. I think I have everything in place except the lift chair. I've got all my meds, my bandages, gauze, neosporin, tegaderm, etc. coloring and puzzle books, colored penicils, an electric sharpener, my Christmas cards, stamps and mailing list. Button front nightshirts from VS (gotta keep it sexy). Lol! Christmas tree and decorations in place and, now I need someone on Elf duty (somebody's got to do it). Aahhh! Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah, ......breathe. Ok. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything or if there is something I haven't even thought of. Thanks for listening to the ramblings of a soon to be "flat".

Your husband will do great! I was surprised but I a walker for the first week (maybe it was the passing out that made me feel I needed it but it was good to have because you are a bit unsteady the first week! I am also in love with my shower chair! Still use it!

I had a TT 3 years ago and a breast lift and implants 1 month ago. I was so scared my husband wouldn't even know what to do (BL- no big deal I was fine) but I needed my husband for the TT and he did amazing. Sometimes I think we forget that they CAN do it we just don't let them. You will do AMAZING and its worth it! I have heard amazing things about your dr.
