Why am I freaking out?



Recommended Posts

I'm having a Tummy Tuck and breast lift on Monday morning. I wasn't this scared for my sleeve surgery. I think I'm more worried about the recovery. I can't imagine coming home with a catheter and drains. Should be interesting. Just trying to keep my eye on the prize. This is the last step on the body transformation journey I've been on since December 2012. I've lost the weight and now this will help me feel good about my appearance. Positive thoughts...the best is yet to come. ????

Those words were the exact ones I was about to say

EYES ON THE PRIZE

I know how it is - I always focused on all that could possibly go wrong...

These are the steps to the new YOU!

I'm having mine on Wednesday and I'm very anxious mainly because of the recovery. I have heard the first few days are hard but I haven't heard anyone say they regret it!!!

Good Luck

I'm doing great and the pain is MUCH less than I expected. Only hurts when getting out of bed. I go to dr today for a check-up. Hopefully I'll get to see this beautiful body. Pictures to come soon!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
