Nervous...two Days Til Surgery and Counting - Panama City, FL

I have been reading posts on this website for about a year and I am finally about to take the plunge. I have a tt with lipo scheduled for 7/25/13.

I have lost 130 pounds stretched out over a long period of time. But, I have carried around the extra baggage from it for far longer. I am very nervous about my procedure and the pain that may come along with it. I hope, more than anything, that my results are worth it. The thing I'm most excited about is having a real belly button. I will keep everyone posted.

Yesterday was surgery. It went really well. I think my results are going to be even better than I imagined. I'm in a lot of pain today but I'm gonna get through it. Will keep this up to date with photos and all. Have my follow up appointment this afternoon.

Went to the doc for my follow up yeaterday. Got a peek at my belly. Because its silken it just looks like a giant but cack. I did see my new belly button.!that was exciting. Last night I got to take my first shower. I thought it would be great but to was excruciating. I lasted maybe three minutes. Then we got to put on the compression garment. Holy crap was that work! My mom did the best she coul, God bless her, but needless to say it was rough and painful. With it on, things are more comfortable. Yesterday, before seeing the doc, the binder was rolling up and pushing in on my staples. With the compression garment under it, it doesn't do that any more. It looked strange looking down at my new belly. It was interesting seeing my vagina without having to lift up flab and standing just so. I can't wait til the road of recovery is over and I have my final results. Recovering through crap is tough work. I'm hanging on to being able to wear a bikini with my two yer old. I haven't Ben able to wear one my whole life
