Well I am ready to step over to the other side. I have scheduled my plastic surgery for October 23rd at 7:00am!!!:thumbup:

On the menu for that day is a Fleur-De-Lis tummy tuck. In english it is basically an extended tummy tuck with anchor incision. Also a mons lift and breast implants. After consulting with 4 PS's and the one I choose twice we determined I didn't really need a lift, sure it would help a little but in the end I am not really as droopy as I think I am and that with the implants I should be very happy. (I'm just deflated it seems)

He estimated 7-9 pounds to be removed during surgery from the tummy, Ddng that' alot of flabby skin just hanging around. Then a few days ago someone called from Ps's office and asked if I would like to donate my skin, I was like, I don't care what you do with it as long as it;s gone from me, I want it no more!!!!!

The breasts I think have given me the most stress over trying to decide should I?, Do I really need them?,can I live with a flat tummy and deflated boobs? what size to get, not to big, not to small, not tupperware looking, Arrgghhhhhhhhhhhh big stress headaches all around because of boobies!!! With the tummy tuck it is somethng I have wanted for years, so it was a no brainer, just find the right surgeon, and how soon can you do it Doc!!!

We went with a dr that is almost 3 hours away with LA/Bev hills traffic, so we will be gettng a hotel room for a few nights, as I don't and I repeat DON'T want to be in a car with my husband in LA traffic. Plastic surgery and crazy traffic and my hubby driving won't mix well, and won't make for a very happy Kelly.

Even tho I am not at my goal weight, I feel and my PS feels this is a good time for me to do this. It also might help with my weight loss platue that I had been having.

I am excited and scared all rolled into one. I am driving my hubby bonkers with all the pix I send/show him of tummies and boobs.

Well that's about it for now, I am actually on my way to my PCP to give him my list from the PS for my pre-ops tests and hopefully he will be on board with me having this done. 3 months ago when I mentioned it to him, he thought I should wait another year. Maybe if I show him the belly n all her glory he will agree with me:eek:

Thanks Jacquie,

Oh my 6 weeks, I am already fretting over 2 weeks.... It's weird how some Dr's say ok to showers with your drains and others say NO WAy at all.

WOW only 3 more days!!! I can't believe it.

You are almost there!! we are fixing to enter the flatlands together. I hope it is as beautiful and wonderful as we here!!!!

Hi guys - good luck. about the "hunch" I was told at first to walk hunched but now I am allowed to walk straight. I start off in the morning all tall and happy but by about midday I am hunching over again. Slowly but surely!

You are almost there!! we are fixing to enter the flatlands together. I hope it is as beautiful and wonderful as we here!!!!

WOW it seems like a dream right now. 3 days!!! At least we can compare battle stories.:biggrin: I have been cooking and freezing food all weekend so my family wont starve, (like they would) But they think they would.

Do you have someone to help you with the little guys?

My Ps wants me to stay out near his office for a week, but we booked a room for 3 nights and plan on coming home Monday. But if I can't sleep or get comfy at the hotel I told my hubby he is to bring me home to my recliner!!:tongue2:

Off to the dentist.

My 2 year old will be at my inlaws for 10 days (if I can live without him that long). My 9 year old will be at a friends over the weekend and then back home. I live in the same town as my doctor so I will be coming home. I taked about freezing food but Dh won't get it out and cook it, so I am giving them Sonic cash to eat on till I get up and about. I am making Mexican Chicken stew and chili to have for me when I get home. I can't wait!!!!

Good luck to the both of you on your upcoming surgeries. I am soooo jealous!:tongue2: I can't wait until I lose all my weight and get rid of my belly flap.:biggrin:

I just got off the phone with the tissue donation place, WOW they ask alot of questions. I'm like if you want it you can have it!!! I really don't care what you do with it.

OK 2 days to go and my nerves officially kicked in.

You are going to do great!!!
