I have had a "frowny face" belly button since I can remember and I really dislike it. I also have a "bump" of fat that is above the belly button that does not go away regardless of my size. Since I have gotten older and controlled my weight with running and working out I have realized that I cannot change the shape of it and that bothers me. You can see it in all of my shirts and no matter how fit I am I look out of shape.

I had a great doc with a great staff. They have been so nice and helpful. They answered all my questions and took as much time with me as I needed. I never felt rushed with them.

Its Tuesday and I had my pre-op appointment for my TT and Thigh lipo, scheduled for Friday, 13 April. (HA! Friday the 13th....geez, what was I thinking!) So I'm finally getting nervous about this whole thing and hope that I'm making the right decision. Everytime I get freaked out I just think about the stupid "bump" and my decision remains firm. I mostly get freaked out about being sedated. That really bothers me. I don't know that the pain is going to be all that bad....I had a hernia repair about 9 years ago and I remember being able to walk around fairly well at 4 days post op. I am only taking 10 days off of work so I hope that is enough....if not I'm sure my boss will let me take more....I just really don't want to. I told a co-worker about my surgery a few weeks ago and he stopped by my office today to tell me that I had a great body and that he didn't think I needed any work and that he just didn't want me to go into this thinking that I didn't already have a nice figure. That was sweet, it definitely made me feel good but also reassured me that Im doing this for me and not for anyone else. Getting a body that I feel comfortable with is the thing I want most.
