Well, I am finally starting my review blog. I have been reading everyone's blogs and experiences daily. It is helping me be prepared for the worst, hoping for the best. Some have a lot of pain and some do not have much pain. Some take two weeks off work, some take two months... Everyone is so different and reading these is really helping me understand that no matter what there is support. Sad days and happy days, there is support.

I have decided to go to Dr Marcus Peterson in St George, UT I have a friend who also went there and that is what made my mind up! I live in California, so my hubby and I are staying there for 1 week. I am super excited but very nervous and anxious, mostly about recovery and being under general anesthetic for so long.

I work long 12 or more hour shifts in a trauma center as an ER nurse, it is emotionally and physically draining sometimes. I will be taking 1 month off. I think that will give my body plenty of time to heal enough to work without people noticing that I just had surgery!!! I did not tell anyone at work what I am doing so it should be interesting, if they just comment that I went on a diet or something!! lol I prefer not to deal with people at work making comments and such. Actually only my family knows!!! My children are grown so they are not home, my husband took vacation time.

I cannot wait to get rid of my twin skin!!!!

So excited for you. I had the same mindset, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Hooray, you started your story! So glad you are taking a month off. That is great! You definitely will need that time to heal and get your energy back for working those long days. Please keep us posted on how it all goes!

Thank you so much for sharing. How did you manage to get a month off work? That's the tricky bit for me.

My nerves are getting to me!!! I am constantly worried that I am not prepared. I keep looking forward to bikini shopping, which helps. Lol I will try and post some pics this week. I have been taking vitamins regularly, which is difficult. They make me gag! So last night I went to CVS and got the adult gummy vitamins. WWWAAAYYYY easier to get down!

My 2 yr old grandson lives with us, the thought of him jumping up on my lap post op just gives me chills!!!

Lol, my black blob (got it at 17 and there were stretch marks on it) on my bikini area was removed. Wasn't sure if he would be 100% gone or just cut in half. :)
