The Long Journey - Wichita, KS

Totally crazy that I'm worried that I'm not worried, excited or plain freaking the hell out...yet! My TT, MR, BA & BL plus Smart Lipo on the chin starts Tuesday. I will be having the Smart Lipo done in the clinic office Tuesday, follow up on Wednesday at the clinic and then the other procedures will be performed at the hospital on Thursday. My surgeon is located in Wichita, KS which is a 2 hour drive for us, so my husband and I will be staying in a hotel most of the week. We fortunately have an apartment style hotel suite with a mini kitchen and separate bedroom. It will be nice if I want to snooze and hubby wants to watch TV.

My best friend went through a TT/MR a year ago by the same surgeon so I feel like I have some of the inside scoop & feel more prepared. In addition to sharing all of the horror stories she is sharing her leftover goodies guaze pads, tape, binder, shower chair, potty riser, neck pillow, etc. I know there will be a tons of texts and phone calls to her asking questions in the next couple weeks.

I have prepared and froze a ton of meals to have on hand during my recuperation. This was very time consuming and a ton of work but I just couldn't bear the thought of eating my husbands cooking/science experiments for the next couple weeks.

I will post before pics soon...totally procrastinating doing it...YUCK!!
