My consultation went great! I feel the DR gave me realistic expectations. My goal is to stay on my current routine of being conscious of what I eat and workout moderately. I'm beyond nervous!! This forum has two sides, a blessing and a curse. LOL!!! Its very informative and very scary at the same time.

Can you advise of where I can ask what kind of cream I should purchase to assist in the healing and compression undergarments I will need after surgery

Always check with the doctors office first.  Some doctors have specific products they like you to use after surgery.  If they do not have a preference I am happy to get you connected with options.

So. I've lost 7lbs. I was heavier than I initially thought. So, I had to get my tail in gear. Working out 3 days a week at a boot camp watching what I eat. And no alcohol. Let's see how this goes. I've decided to upload a few pictures. I can't wait for my surgery date.

So, I weighed in today. The scale is going in the right direction????. I'm down 9lbs and pressing forward. The TT will take care of my tummy. I want to be totally happy with what I see in the mirror. So working out ensures that once my tummy is flat, I'm not pointing out other areas to fix.
