Plastic Surgery Countdown is on!

  • Popular Post
I’m just under two weeks away from my tummy tuck, BL/BA, and arm lift. I’m nervous and excited! This truly feels like my reward for all of the hard work I’ve put in to lose my excess weight. I’ve got my cute swimsuit picked out for my before & after pic which I will post here. For those who’ve gone before me, any last minute advice?

    I’m cringing at these, but know how much I appreciated seeing others “before” photos. Last photo is the day of my VSG at 262lbs, I’d lost 24 in my pre op period. Today I’m 155. 5’4”, 50 years old. 16

I am! Packing my bag tonight. I had a pedicure today and getting waxed tomorrow then we fly out doe Miami Sunday morning.

How are you feeling? Has your pain been tolerable? Have you had a peek at things yet or are you still all covered up with dressings?
Wow! Getting real quick huh?!!
I’m feeling ok. Pain has been rough past couple of days but it’s def manageable pain though. I have seen the girls and they are swollen but look great! Haven’t seen all of my tummy. Just had hub check on my belly button. So far so good.
Keep saying to myself it’s all worth it once I’m all healed up! It will be!
Careful on going to places bc of your COVId test. I was afraid to get waxed and my pedicure bc w my luck I’d somehow pick it up. Not sure where you live but it’s getting pretty bad down here again. I’m in Texas.

I had COVD back in October and since I’m a nurse in a big public health hospital I’ve already had my first vaccine. Although there have been isolated cases of people getting re-infected it’s pretty unlikely. Once less thing for me to worry too much about!

I’m glad your pain has been manageable and that healing is going well. Are you able to get up and moving much?
Oh I see. Yes I’m moving around. I Look like the hunch back of Notre Dam but I’m getting around ok.
Waiting for my miralax to work if you know what I mean. Lol

Have a safe flight to Miami tomorrow!! It's a chilly 64 in Naples today but will be back to 76 on Monday! I'm sure Miami is even hotter!

Sounds delightful! It was 30 with black ice on the road for my walk this morning and rained all last week. I am seriously craving some sun! Are you up Monday or Tuesday?

I'm on Tuesday!! What day do you go in for pre-op?

Pre op for me is on Wednesday and surgery on Thursday. We’re going to take the drive down to Key West on Tuesday.
@chubrub and @kristieshannon. I’m So excited for y’all!!
Think someone wrote something about using a cane to walk. If you have one you can borrow that will help. My back hurts from being hunched.

That’s a good idea. I’m going to pick up a toilet seat riser and shower chair when we get to Miami, I’ll grab a cane too.
