Surgery date is May 27th. I'm so freaking nervous.

Hopefully this will be one of the times when you look back and wonder "What was I so afraid of?"

Thinking about you...

[Debra 0]

Nervous ?!? You !?! You are one of the most well-informed in-the-know people here! You know you are doing the right thing, you know it will be awesome for you! Just be lovin' it! Pep up! I'm thrilled for you and we will all be here for you just like you are always here for us!

...so today I got the saline removed for the plastic surgery. Met Donali for dinner. Ate reasonably. Came home and ate unreasonably and feel borderline sick. You kind of had to sort of expect that. AAARG.

Hope you're feeling better this morning. Again, it was great to meet you and DH - I enjoyed our time together very much!!!

Hey Sue

Hope your calm and ready for tomorrow. I wish you the best.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Alexandra 55]

My thoughts are with you too, Sue. Best wishes for a SMOOOOTH surgery and peaceful recovery. Can't wait to hear how it went, and what a hot mama you are afterwards!

Sue,

I wish you an uneventfull and painless surgery. Went to one of my support group meetings last night and saw someone who just had PS in March and she looked wonderful! You will too!!!!! Can you post some before and after pics for those of us who will be considering this surgery too in the future? Thanks.

Bright, I'm having an abdominoplasty. Not because I'm anywhere near goal, but because I'm old and have had two prior open abdominal surgeries and the little that I have kept off has left me looking like Austrian drapes.

[Bright 9]

I felt bad not knowing about your surgery Sue, so I have since ACTUALLY read some back posts and know all about it/you/your tum now so ask me anything I am youngish (34) with no prior abdominal surgeries yet I could out-austrian drape you any day - I can stand stark naked and yet no one could make out if my hair colour is natural or not, if ya know what I mean...... And my wandering boobs also strive to shield prying eyes from my private area..... sighhhhhhhh

Anyway, best of luck - I'm sure you will be very happy with the results, and I hope you get over any discomfort really soon.

take care

I was wondering has anyone had a Tummy Tuck yet and could give some insight on its affect with the port. Along with the plastic surgeon do we need to have our initial band doctor reposition the port.

I'm in a three year study and can't have the ps for another 2 1/2 years yet I am concerned.

Thanks,

Jackie
