61 and feeling 30 again - San Antonio, TX

I have lost over 80 lbs and now have much excess skin in abdominal area, well other areas also but that is another topic. At 61 I feel almost silly to be spending money to get rid of loose skin and fat, however, I am going for my pre-op today at 2:30 and having the tummy tuck on Halloween. My objective with this procedure is simple, I want to tuck my shirt in and see my belt. It has been a long time since that has been possible for me. I originally planned to have this in December but yesterday got an e-mail from my Doctor's office about a Halloween special and could not resist the $1000 savings, my costume this year will be a flat tummy suit. I am gratefull that this is going to happen so soon, not giving me a lot of time to worry and reconsider all of this. I know it is best for not only my physical health but also my mental health in improving my external self image.

Have been reading a lot of the posts, I am grateful for all that have shared their journeys and am greatful that it is only 3 days till my TT..

got the call.. now scheduled for 10am monday.. 66 hours to go. feeling really emotional about this, mostly anxiety I think. Taking all the pre-op vitamins and picked up all of the post-op meds. Starting anti-biotics sunday. My weight loss came as a result of changing food choices rather than dieting in a formal sense, I have no idea how many calories that I consume and have never felt hungry. I will be glad to share how this came about with anyone that is interested.
I will post a few pre-op photos this weekend, though I must say before hand that they are not pretty, something about gravity and loose skin.
