10 year dream soon to be realized

WORTH IT$10,000
I have been dieting on and off my whole life! At about he 17, I started gaining weight and could not get it off. Turns out I had been diagnosed , much later, with polycystic ovary syndrome, making it very difficult to lose weight. I developed the classic PCOS body shape...skinny legs and a big belly. My mom died of cancer bout 10 years ago. Shortly before her death, I had reached an all time high of 260 lbs. she said her wish for me was to be happy and to have weight loss surgery to lose weight and get healthy. About a year later, I had gastric band surgery. I lost about 50 lbs and stayed that way for many years. About 2 yers ago I started taking Farxiga, a drug for diabetes, and jump started my weight loss again. I lost 30 more lbs. Now down 80lbs, I have excess skin and flab to deal with. I am 52 years old now, eek, how did that happen lol, and ready to do it! I have picked 3 local surgeons to have consults with and plan to have my surgery in October. Any advice is appreciated!

7 weeks til my life changing operation. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I’m mentally and physically preparing for this. I was up all night looking at tuckthattummy.com, this is an awesome resource for before, during and after tt surgery. I am also planning a garage sale in sept and have been purging my house, almost like when I was about to give birth to my son. I feel the need to ‘lightener ‘ in body and life so I have nothing to worry about during recovery. I can’t stop thinking about what to wear to the surgery and after. I bought a couple t-shirt dresses but not sure why is best to wear. Any suggestions are appreciated
