Seven day countdown, hold my purse, ish is getting real!! I've had all this time since my May consult to prepare and now its crunch time. The family is beginning to arrive from out of town for Christmas so these last few days are going to fly by. Thankfully, I have my amazing hubs to pick up any slack and fill in the gaps. He is going to be the best nurse ever (good to look at too)! I have scripts to pick up, a recovery room to prepare, a family of 10 to cook for and enjoy over the next week etc. There's not enough time! Next thing I know I'm going to be dreaming during surgery about my Sports Illustrated bikini photo shoot with my new fab belly, then I'll wake up with a big smack in the face from reality. I dread the pain, I'm really trying to separate myself from it and act like its not a thing. Gotta cope somehow, right?! So far I have acquired way too many post op supplies and a ton of confidence in my doc, his post op pics and reviews are stellar. I have been through seriously critical emergency surgery before to fix a crushed limb, so I am hoping my mental fortitude will see me through this experience as it did before. Current stats: 5'6" 160 lbs, down from 168, I eat clean and consciously, strict water drinker at a goal of 3 liters a day, ex-smoker and major outdoor/adventure/extreme sports lover. I have immensely enjoyed reading all of your reviews and it is all of you that have given me the courage to go through with this. Once all is said and done, I feel I am going to finally be the carefree old me that doesn't need to buy multiple margaritas for everyone sitting near me at the beach to feel comfy in my own skin clad in a bikini again.

I am so thankful and amazed that I was able to grow beautiful, smart, perfect humans inside of my body. Not so thankful for the aftermath on my abdomen. Time to say our goodbyes and part ways...

You'll do great. Dr. Gill is AWESOME! I Had the TT with my hysterectomy and honestly, the pain was not that bad. I was off pain meds after a few days and on Xtra strength Tylenol. My only regret is that I didn't do it years ago :).

Thanks for the kind words, you look amazing!!! The pain is scary because I remember it being so awful when I had the reconstruction surgery on my left side after an athletic blooper. There is no way this surgery can be as bad as crushed bones, right!?!? The continuous comments I see about the single regret being that ladies wish they had done it sooner is one of my biggest motivators in not chickening out :)
