Okay, Okay, I'm Crazy, But I Have Schedule My Tt Again!



Recommended Posts

Well I spoke w/ the ps yesterday evening and I am getting my tt and Lipo the first week of July. Spoke w/ my boss and she's cool about me taking the time off and all is well. My aunt is headed to Texas on the 30th, so I'll be hitching a ride w/ her and then my mom is bringing me back. I would have flown, but I don't think I can handle my three kids on the flight back on my own, and since my mom is coming back w/ me to help me out after my surgery this worked out well. Well so if you have any spare $$$$ send it my way, cause I'm fixing to spend alot of money. I'm really surprised at how supportive my husband is being with all of this, I thought he would be bitching about me taking so much money from our savings, but he's fine w/ it. He said that if I really want to do this, I should go for it. Heck, he wants them to give me a little back as well, Look out JLO here comes Bella... Well talk to you guys later, I'll keep you updated, and let the countdown begin.

10 days till Tummy Tuck heaven!!!!!

DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana

Wowza, you go girl! Who's your TT doc? I'm pretty sure you are going to Monterrey, so you are driving AND taking your kids? How long is your recovery there before you can leave? I'm sure you have to stay until drains come out and all that...

Weel, congrats, girl! You are gonna look SO great! And you'll be able to wear that cute little wrap dress without some snotty nosed little kid asking you when your baby is due! wahoo!!!

My doctor is Ernesto Castellanos he has two offices one in Monterrey and one in Reynosa. I'm having my surgery in Reynosa as it is right across the border from McAllen, from where my mom lives, so I'll be recovering there. I'll have to stay two nights at the hospital and then come back in a week or so to get the drains removed. I am planning on staying for two weeks, in case I should have any problems. I have also contacted a local surgeon here that I can follow up with if necessary. So I'm covered in case anything goes wrong. I'm glad my surgery will be in REynosa cause I'll be on this side after the surgery, so I'll have access to a US hospital if needed. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi everyone, well three more days and I leave to Texas to get my tt, I'm really excited, but scared as well, there is so much to be done before I leave, have to leave everything done at work, my boss has no clue how to run this office, she shows up, does her meetings, and that's it, Oh well, I"ll get it done... I am so starting to freak our about this, is this the right thing?? Will I die?? Am I ready for all the pain I'm going to be dealing w/? i'm a really big baby so I pretend I'm really brave and then when it comes right down to it I cry like a two year old and want my mommy... Well wish me well, I am scheduled for July 4th... Next Monday....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
