A Year in the Making and Date is Finally Set. - Post Falls, ID

I am finally close to having my surgery. I am getting nervous. I was ready when I first went in, but was sidelined by the need for a hysterectomy first. Then the cosmetic surgeon wanted to wait at least 4 months after that for me to heal. So now, here I am! I can get photos soon and post later.

I am getting in surgery mode now. I'm glad I had the hysterectomy last Dec. I had never had surgery before except for tonsillectomy in 1976) so that helped me know a bit of what to expect. I'm still too shy about taking my own pictures and posting them. Not shy about getting them on the site, but shy about having them stored in my computer. I have only discussed this with my husband and no one else is aware. I just don't need the comments and questions. (and negativity from some) I see how I can keep anonymity for the site but not in my personal computer.
So I post as if this were a "mommy makeover" but my kids are adults. At my consultation the Dr. had me relax my abdominal muscles ( I looked 9 months pg) and told me my muscles were stretched probably 2 1/2 - 3 inches. I am constantly holding them in and it's really hard to relax them for very long. I can't wait to get that cinched up!
Now I am getting concerned about my chubby thighs. Will they look out of proportion to the rest of me after the surgery? And what about my facial skin? It is getting saggy too. And my eyelids could use a little lift. Then I have sagging upper arm skin. (I'd lost about 100 pounds over the last 3 years) Well, this is a start, I'll see if I can work on the rest of me over time.

I go in tomorrow for my TT, BL with muscle repair. My husband took two weeks off of work and he is more nervous than I am. He'll take good care of me. I went to the store and bought protein shakes, jello, peanut butter and eggs. I also have soup and crackers. Filled my RX's and good to go.
