Tummy Tuck - Vacaville, CA

My pre op is Monday. Surgery is scheduled for Oct. 16th. I feel excited and a bit nervous. I don't have a lot of questions or concerns because my mom just had hers with the same Dr. and I went with her to her pre/op and was there every step of the way. I am glad I saw first hand what it was like before I did it myself. I keep asking her if it was worth it. The more time passes she feels more and more like it was worth it.

Today I had my pre-op and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Paid remaining balance and signed all my papers. Also had the dreaded before photos, it wasn't that bad. The staff and Dr. are all very nice and I didn't have very many questions.

Up until this weekend surgery felt so far away. Now it feels really really close. I went away with my husband this week and ate way too much and wrong. I had wanted to lose some weight before surgery. I've been feeling sort of low on energy but can think of so much to do to prepare but lack the energy/motivation to do so. My son has a sore throat and runny nose so I am hoping I don't get sick too. One of the things that I am looking forward to most is not having to do the morning routine waking my teen son up every morning. That is a huge struggle every single day. He's pretty much a rock. Surgery day is 12 days away. My doctor said not to take anything special as far as supplements just be healthy. I'm not really concerned too much about gathering items and such for such a short time. I will borrow a recliner from my mom that has an easy handle to open and close. My recliner you have to do quite some leg work to close.
