Hi Everyone!

I finally have my dates worked out for my PS (and as it turns out) GYN surgery as well. I will be having a Tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation (using silicone implants), and a myomectomy on June 13 in Miami.

I know, it's a lot of surgery -- isn't it?????

I would've liked to have done just the PS by itself, but I have a very large fibroid tumor that needs to be removed. There has been lots of drama regarding this (which I detailed in another thread in the August 2007 bandsters section) because most Dr.'s prefer to do a hysterectomy in cases like mine, but I just felt that I didn't want to go this route. So I will be having an open myomectomy, which involves operating on the uterus and removing the fibriod.

Since I live 1000 miles off the mainland of the US, it makes sense for me to have as much surgery done at once as possible. I actually "need" a circumferential tuck (or LBL), but my plastic surgeon simply would not consider doing it because he felt that combining this procedure with an open myomectomy would introduce a level of risk that was not acceptable to him.

At first he only wanted to do the TT, but I asked him if he could do the breasts too. He had to think about it for a day before he consented, and I may or may not come out of surgery with the breasts done if the myomectomy goes into overtime or the GYN encouters any problems (hope not).

For sure, I will be getting the rest of the LBL done because my backside definitely needs it, but I will just have to wait for that until I recover from the first surgeries.

This post is getting pretty long so I will end it here, but the last thing I want to say is THANK YOU to all who post here. This area of the forum is just about 100% responsible for giving me the knowledge and confidence to go through with this :thumbup:

Congratulations Frangi on getting your date set. I second the thanks to all who have gone before us and posted about their own ps experiences. It has also helped me tremendously.

Good luck Frangipani - That is a lot of work done all at once, but necessary. It sounds like you're gonna have some goooooood drugs :thumbup:
