I started my weight loss journey on March 15, 2015. Reached 50 pounds by July and then had a gallbladder attack. Who knew rapid weight loss hurts your gallbladder?? Lost another 15 and have been at current weight since October. Had gallbladder removed in November after PS said to do that before TT.
Six days out and can't decide if I am nervous, excited or just anxious. Surgeon is 3 hours away so I will be spending the first night in a hotel then traveling home the next day.
Prior breast reduction will probably keep my girls from being perfect boobies. Just hoping not to lose sensation. I don't want to be bigger....just better. I've had big boobs....don't want to go there again. A large C or small D is my wish. Leaving it up to PS to keep me in proportion. Guess I'll know in a couple of months what I have.
Concerned my upper abdomen is fat....he says it is skin.... I must have really thick skin. LOL no lipo so I'm hoping it flattens out. I have one rather pointed rib so I'm anxious to see where I end up.
I think I have all my supplies purchased. Going to work all weekend getting things packed, cleaned and organized. I'm a lot OCD so I want everything ready when I get home. I probably have over purchased what I will need but I want as smooth of a recovery as I can get with little stress.

it is done!! 4.5 hours of surgery. woke up easy. First night would have been great except I could not urinate!!! Finally called PS at 9:00, He was so great!! Met us at his office and put in the cath himself. Saved me an ER bill. Kept the cath overnight, removed it myself the following morning. I have been peeing like crazy since. Staying on my med schedule. Pain is minimal so far. Anxious to see what was done. PS said there wasn't much muscle repair. That might explain why I am not having much pain.Maybe some pictures tomorrow.
