Best decision ever BL/BA & Tummy Tuck Lost over 80LB 37kgs Pattaya, Thailand

Wow where to start. I am a mother to two bautiful son's and married to a wonderful man. I have always been a yo yo dieter with my weight going up and down over the years but finally I have lost 37kgs (80+LBs) and managed to keep it off for the last year but the damage was already done from going up and down weight wise over the years. What I have been left with is saggy skin on most of my body and a nice wee apron that wont shift no matter what I do and boobs that disappear when I lay down under my armpits and look flat in a sports bra but not too bad in a padded push up bra.
Now I know I should be happy as I'm one of the lucky ones compared to some that have had extreme weight lose but it is something I have always thought about having done and being able to go to Thailand makes that dream a reality as the costs there as a lot cheaper than in New Zealand BUT the nerves are kicking in I won't lie to you all.
Being away for 16 nights from my family to going to kill me big time and with it being over the Christmas period too that is just torture, but this works better as my work is closed over the Christmas period so its a win win.
I am having my surgery done in 1 go so hoping that's the correct choice for me and it will be a lollipop lift and a full tummy tuck done.
I have had numerous surgery's in the past on my tummy with 2 C-sections, 2 ectopic pregnancies and bowel surgery so not new to that side of things and also shoulder surgeries BUT this is in a different country without my family to support me and by the sounds the TT is totally different to C sections etc.
I have an amazing girlfriend coming along for the ride and also some amazing friends that will be in contact 24/7 through Skype etc so I know I will survive.
I would like to keep updated on here and will try to get as many photos as possible up so I have a record of the whole journey.
42 Days and 19 hours to Go Whoop Whoop

This is the email reply back from the hospital in Thailand after I asked for a confirmation of the time it would take to have the TT BL/BA in the one go like I am having done.

Further to our previous e-mail, Dr. Teerasut has confirmed that it takes
about 7-8 hours for the surgery to be completed.

OMG OMG OMG.....Am I over reacting seen as I didn't even know about this drug 2 weeks ago but since I have I've though you'd be crazy not to us it would you.

Well the countdown seems to be ticking down nicely and the excitement but also the nerves are really kicking in but it's just the waiting game now and patience is not a quality I possess at all!!!!
Still no real idea how long the operation will be until I see the surgeon on the day of the operation and I'm just hoping that the time line given of 7-8 hour's operating time is an over quoted time as going of the answers from my question to the doctor's on here re this it seems to be rather excessive for what needs doing.
Now also wish I could be just getting implants rather than a lift too but going off my photos a lift is needed I've been told..... The joys of weight loss and being a yo yo dieter for so many years arrrgghh
Talk again soon and I'll upload some more pictures of my tummy over the next few days.
