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!!!!!

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....

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
