I have been yo-yo dieting since I was a teenager so always had a bit of a jelly belly, but now my weight is fairly stable at 142lb. However after two large babies the second of which was a caesarean I had an overhanging pouch. I have lived with and hated it for years , youngest child is 11, and now it's time for it to go. My boobs really need an uplift and one is slightly bigger the the other, I considered waiting but it is more cost effective to have both procedures at the same time. At the moment I am swinging between looking forward to having a flat tummy and freaking out about the op and recovery time. My op is booked for the 25th of October, yikes, that's not long.

Well I have to say that was the most horrific experience of my life, sorry if that scares people, but I have to be honest. My blood pressure kept dropping which caused me to get light headed, I was dry retching which caused terrible burning pain across my incisions. Turns out I needed a blood transfusion, I am having my third bag of blood now and they are preparing another one. I was supposed to go home this morning but I don't know when they will send me home now. I have not been out of my bed yet and have not had a chance to take any pictures. I hope it was worth it.

No going back now

I paid for everything in in full today so no going back now. Only 9 days to go so I have started preparing for the big day. My parents are moving in to take care of me, the kids and the dogs. I have been batch cooking meals to freeze as I am a very picky vegetarian and my Mum hates cooking for me. Don't want to starve if I'm not up to cooking, I suppose it's one way of losing weight, lol. My PS provides everything I need including compression garment, dressings and meds, the only thing I have to bring is post surgery bra which I bought on Amazon. It is really soft and front fastening which will be a lot easier to put on. I got some Arnica Montana today, I asked my PS and she said it was a good idea.

Last day of work tomorrow

I have my last day at work tomorrow and my pre-op the following day which leaves me one day to clean the house and get some shopping done. I can't stop thinking about the surgery and I'm feeling tired because I am not sleeping well, I am looking forward to having the surgery behind me. I forgot to mention that my PS does a drain free procedure. She believes that although it means a little longer on the table it makes for a much more comfortable recovery with less rick of infection. I have to say it was one of the main reasons I chose her because I hated the idea of having to constantly be emptying them. I have started packing my bag and am trying to think of all the things I will need. I am an avid book reader but from other reviews I don't think I will be able to concentrate on a book, maybe I should bring some magazines instead?
