Ok, I finally have a date, so I thought I would start a thread about my plastic surgery!!

I will have an extended tummy tuck, thigh lift and mons lift on October 24th. I am having my tubes tied at that time as well.

My emotions are all over the place allready and i am usually not like that at all. Will I really have a flat tummy?? Are my expectations too high?? Will I be happy with my body after the surgery or will I continue to find every flaw?? It's like a whirlwind of questions going through my mind. Those of you who have allready done this, did you experience these same feelings.

Here's the other thing....Since I set the date, I am having the hardest time staying focused. I want to lose 15 more pounds before surgery and I can't seem to stay focused. The surgery should be motivation enough.

I am going to use this thread as a way to keep all of my lapband buddies up to date on my progress, and would also love the support and advice of those of you who have been there. I am amazed at the friendship and support I have received on this website. You guys really do ROCK!!

I will post before pics closer to surgery.

FLATLANDS HERE I COME!!!

Renewed, you are so calm cool and collected, I must have the nervesness for both of us.

I can't wait to get to the other side. I probably wont be posting tomorrow, I will try and have hubby post a quick note. But I will be thinking of you on your surgery Friday.

See you in the flatlands!!!

Your excitement is contagious!!!!!

Good luck on Friday. It is really great that your DH is really getting into this process to help you out - great teamwork!!!!

My thoughts are with you.

good luck!!! my surgery is next Thursday- I'm thinking happy thoughts for you and a speedy recovery :sad_smile:

Thanks guys. Shalee, I am pretty calm by nature. Today DS and I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the house. So, the place is spic n span. Tommorow I am going to buy a few last things, take my little guy to my inlaws, get my nails done, and pay bills. It is also DH birthday. He won't get home until late so we celebrated last Friday, but DS and I will probably surprise him at work and take him supper!!

I am SOOOO READY!!!!!!!

You are 1 day away from having a flat tummy!! You so deserve it too!

Best wishes for an easy operation and speedy recovery.

Mimi

renewed - have you in my thoughts for tomorrow & look forward to GG's update.

Renewed - I'm thinking of you girl! Like Luluc I'm looking forward to GG's updates. You are in my prayers. I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Best wishes Renewed!

Renewed - Best of luck tomorrow!!! I'll check in on you on Saturday. I'll be away from the computer - Soccer Tournament

Remember you have come "Full Circle"

Thanks so much guys!! My c25k buddies are here. how cool is that. I have been running around doing stuff all day. I got a manicure and pedicure and am lookin pretty cute. You know, looking cute is a must for surgery!! I guess you could say I am becoming a little nervous, but not bad. I was probably more nervous when I had my lapband surgery. This feels like a reward and I can't wait to see the results!! I also feel like I am in the best health of my life so I am not worried about complications and such!

When DH gets home from work tonight he is going to take my bandiversary pics for me and before tt pics. I will post the clothed pics tonight if i have time. I won't post the more telling before tt pics until I have post op pics to go with them.

I still have to shower, shave and pack for the hospital, so I may not be on much tonight. You guys are the best. I will miss you for a few days, but rest assured, as soon as my body will let me I will be up and posting again!

DH is going to keep Georgia posted on how I am doing. Georgia, if he forgets CALL HIM!! He doesn't mind at all. I told my sisters the same thing. I am afraid he will forget my todo list. LOL Can the world survive without me for 6 hours of surgery? I just don't know!!

See you all when I get to the flatlands!!!!

Good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive energy your way.

Good luck tomorrow! I'll send good thoughts your way. Post when you feel up to it.

I'm thinking about you girl. And praying you have a speedy recovery. I will call your hubby if I haven't heard from him by 4:00 or so. Whoooo Hoooo, you are soooo headed for the flatlands girl!

What a difference a year can make!!
