Yes, I am getting VERY nervous. I had about 2 weeks notice on my lap band and that was probably better - now I have lots of time to worry!

When in Oct and what kind of surgery are you having?

Hi there

I'm getting LBL also in October - the 9th, in Lyon, France. Can't seem to think about anything else. Am scared but excited.

Congrats on your date. I'm having LBL and BL 8/13. I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it too much. I am getting nervous though.

I did the same with my lapband- consult then surgery only a couple of weeks later. Having this much time to think about it is stressing me out!

I'm doing a lower body lift with breast reduction/lift

good luck! :thumbup:

I know! It is hard to think of anything else isn't it? Me too scared but excited. Wondering how hard it will be to sit, walk, lie down. AND for how long.

I will be interested in seeing how you do! I am sure you will be fine. I hope you get great results. Where are you having this done and how much time are you taking off from work?

Thanks! I need a breast lift also but am doing it at another time. My surgeon didn't want me too be under for too long since I am also having a hernia repair.

I have already had my surgery, but I wanted to wish you the best of luck, and you will LOVE you results I am sure!

Ellen - are you using Dr Pascal by any chance?

Hi KD,

Did you have your LBL last week as planned? How did it all go?

Karen G, not too long now are you getting excited?

Ellen, I'm sooooooo jealous -- according to Nina soon you will have the best ass in all of Europe. Not fair, I want one too :smile2:!

Karen and Frangi,

Sorry I haven't replied. I was having a hard time sitting at the computer for more than a few minutes and my brain wasn't cooperating with my fingers.

I did have LBL, lipo, breast reduction and lift last week. I am getting around pretty well now although I told the hospital I thought I was going to have to stay there forever last week (I was there for 2 nights.) I had the drains and stiches removed today. I'm amazed at the difference. I haven't seen a flat stomach since my teens.

I went to lunch with my DH after my doctor's appointment and ran to one small store, but that was about all I could handle. I couldn't wait to get home to the recliner!

Yes I am getting very very excited!! Super busy getting things wrapped up at work. My nervousness has peaked and now I am in prep mode! Any tips are greatly appreciated. Did you really have 18lbs removed during your tt? My surgeon said 5-9lbs with a lbl and I am wondering if she is being conservative in order to avoid dissapointment! She said I shouldn't worry but that I will definately make goal at this point.

WOW! How are you sleeping? I am wondering how I will get comfortable after the LBL. Do you know how much skin they rempoved? Did you eat lunch out in a restaurant? sounds like you are doing great actually and it gives me hope!
