In only a week it will be my turn...I caught a stupid cold from one of my children and I hope it is gone by the time I leave :(...I would not want to have to cancel again...It cost me a extra $400 for flight changes each time! Also my luck could not get any worse...I just realized I will be on my darn period on my surgery date. Did any of you ladies have surgery while menstruating?? How do they deal with that??? I am all prepared and am trying to keep positive. I have looked up risks, complications and all the gory stuff...(I really have to stop torchering myself) I was so nervous last week but it almost seems I am more calm this week. I guess I have finally quietly submitted to my decision. It is something I really want and I also feel my stomach needs this. I am still on the fence about bbl with tummy tuck...I keep reading where it is best to stage them and it puts up risks of surgery itself. I am at a point in my life where I am healthy and I think there is no time like NOW....this is the youngest and healthiest I will ever be so I might as well get er done while I can enjoy living in my body for once rather than hiding the rest of my life.

Saw dr c last thursday, she said she wouldnt be doing bbl with tt anymore because results arent as good. I didnt have bbl. I got my period a few days after. It gets messy. But you will have to get your period anyways so u will be having to deal with it and the compression garmemt at some point. Best of luck!

In exactly 2 weeks I will be getting surgery! I have so many mixed emotions but more excited than anything. I still need to pick up a few things. Can anyone give me a any ideas on how they managed their luggage in the airports post surgery? I plan on taking some a medium size suitcase I can pull on wheels and will make sure it is not too heavy. If anyone can offer any info or tips I would greatly appreciate it.

I am now in for October 28th..I told Fatimeh if I chicken out this time I will simply not reschedule anymore. I cannot keep stressing and cancelling. I am excited ad h ave bee trying for some time to lose more weight because the results will be better. I am torn between losing weight and eating healthy. If I diet I worry I am not getting enough nutrients. There must be a way to do both! I would appreciate any info or advice that may help...I am SUPER excited and keep trying to be positive!
