omg hottt!! you look like a different person

wow you look great!!

thank you so much everyone for your thoughts & opinions on this. I think its safer to catch a cab just to be sure. Im so used to having friends & family close by to rely on... living in a different state from them surely is difficult at times

wow good on you, I actually did the same for nose surgery two years ago. I wanted a certain doctor to perform it & paid out of my own pocket (still paying it off) but glad I did it $18,000 later. This time I wasnt in a fund but paid into hospital only... you are right the year wait feels like it takes forever but here I am only 9 days til surgery

All I can say is I know how you feel... I seriously didnt expect to fall pregnant at 43 ... I wish you all the happiness your bundle of joy will bring.

my headaches were gone by day 4 ... u are almost there!! keep up the good work!

hahaha flying squirrel how funny, thanx for the laughs!!

wow lila, thats alot if money, is that only because you are not in a health fund or hospital fund?

wow you have done an awesome job!! you look great!!

best of luck everyone... cant wait for your updates ????

thanks for your replies, Im considering driving home from surgery, but will depend on how Im feeling afterwards... Ive heard a few people say that they have felt fine enough & have driven themselves home :/

hey guys can anyone help? how long after surgery could you have driven? (not doctor recommendations) but rather when did you feel like you were coherant enough to be driving & up to driving without being a danger on the road? anyone actually drive themself home from hospital?? Any answers would be appreciated

wow what a difference in such a short time... u look awesome!!!

wow you look great, what a difference!!! i hope to be as successful. keep up the fantastic work!

hi aussiegirl, why are you back at hospital? i thought they did that test before leaving hospital? Is there more tests to be do e once leaving? thanks

wow you look awesome and in such a short amount of time... i luv it when people post before & after pics ... thank u for sharing them

keep your date !! im a single mum of four kids & have just moved to a new state where I know nobody except the people I work with. My kids are the only ones that know Im having this surgery & like you I think I have done too much for them over the years. Now when I ask for some help around the house its a battle!! I do everything plus work full-time. Im having this surgery for ME. You should do the same. Tell your kids and your hubby you are going through with it and they all have to step up and help. Write out a roster for them all and put it on the fridge, then dont talk about it anymore to them. If they cant be supportive dont engage them in conversation about the topic. Go and have your surgery and come home and look after YOU as number one. if they need clean clothes they will learn how to wash, if they are hungry they will learn how to cook! I know there is alot more to keeping a household but please dont put this off, even if you end up washing wet towels & scrubbing dirty dishes for the next six months after healing from surgery it will still be worth it!! Do something wonderful for YOU! YOU deserve it!

wow congrats! cant wait to join you on the ither side
