I am less that 12 hrs away from another drastic step in my life as I go under the knife once again to improve the fabulous results that the lapband and my hard work over the last 2 years afforded me. My Tummy Tuck and breast lift is all set. gone will be my Jello belly and frowning belly button. The girls are getting lifted and some air will go back in the tires... I have lost so much weight that they now resemble half inflated Water balloons... Those long ones....I don't want to look like a twenty year old..... Just a healthy 52 year old woman who isn't quite done having a good life.

I received a call from the dr and the anesthologist which I though was pretty cool. Both just wanted to make sure I was ready to go and had any last minute questions. Very classy.

I have been nesting all day...at work making sure i left my desk so that i wont be missed too much....lol and at home doing things i fear my not be so easy in the coming days before Christmas.

Just took the mega dose of antibiotics that the dr gave me...took me 20 minutes to swallow the 3 caplets. My band is just a constant reminder..... And I am getting ready to take my last warm bath for a while.

Thought I would check in here as you all have become a wonderful support team and I appreciate your dedication to your health and well being.

See you on the other side....

I am so happy that you are almost at the end of this chapter in your life. You have come a long way and I congratulate you!

Excellent planning! I am 55 and know exactly what you mean, I too believe I have quality time left!

I'm so happy for you. you have worked so hard and it will all be so worth it. My favorite things since my Tummy Tuck:

1) looking down and i can see my "stuff" and shave with out having to hold up the apron....lol

2) throwing out all the "granny panties" and buy new ones from VS..... Pretty ones that don't roll down.

3) wearing a bikini...and rocking it...!!!

4)....... feeling amazing that at 44 i look better than some girls 1/2 my age...

all the best my friend.... can't wait to see your before and after....

Super excited for you...... :D
