Renewedhope is Headed for the Flatlands

[jjsmiles 3]

Great plans Renewed!! I got my toes done too (complete with pretty flowers on my big toes). You won't be able to vacuum for at least 6 weeks, so get used to the idea of stuff on your carpets (unless you can talk DH into using the appliance :tongue_smilie:).

I am still not able to bathe or shower because of the drains, so pamper yourself with a couple of baths since you don't know when you will be able to get "all over" wet with hot Water.

Keep yourself busy this week and it will fly by.

When you pack for the hospital, bring really loose comfy clothes, including easy on shoes (I had my crocs), just in case you really swell up. You might want to consider a looser bra or sports bra as well, as believe me, you don't want anything tight or even fitted rubbing against your body.

Good luck!!!!! I am getting excited for you as well!

Thanks guys. I am so excited. i went to Walmart today and picked a few last things. I typically have veryhigh pain tolerance. i am hoping this won't be any different and I will be moving well again soon.. I am going to take it very easy though. I don't want to risk any problems. Counting down the days!!

I went to see my surgeon this morning. She is also my lapband doctor so we did 1 year out pics and measurements. What an emotional journey this is. DH went with me so he could ask questions about my tt and thigh lift. He is so supportive and so funny. He was pleased with the answers and is very excited about my surgery. I should be under for about 6 hours. I was a little surprised today. My doctor decided not to remove the saline from my band for surgery. I don't have very much restriction right now, so she thinks I will be fine. I sure hope I don't get super tight. She said that she can always take some out later. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 Friday morning. Nothing solid to eat after 6p Thursday and nothing at all Friday morning!!

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!! Have I said that already???

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!! Have I said that already???

Yeah, but it's okay, lol. We are excited for you!! I can't wait to see pictures. You are gonna be smokin'!!!!

Only 3 more days....

[Shalee04 7]

Yes you said it, But your allowed to keep saying it!!! I am excited for you too!!!

I'm not having any fill taken out either, I only have 4.5cc in my band and am not restricted. I have needed a fill for awhile, but at $350.00 a fill I decided to wait till after PS. I'm not allowed to eat anything tomorrow, only liquids. :-(

We are almost there.....

I know. I can't believe we have finally gotten here. Today I am precleaning my house. I told DS that I don't want a tiny thing out of place. No clutter. No piles. Nothing. Then, tommorow we are going to clean clean clean!!

Today Tony was asking our doctor's assistant about all these different areas. Will the little bit of fat onmy upper abdomen be gone (without lipo)? Will this be gone? what about this spot? It was really cute as he has a lot of the same questions as I. It is just hard to imagine that this is real. If all she says is true, then I am goign to be more than pleased with my results!! Can't wait!!

Your excitement is contagious! Good luck. I'm looking forward to the before/after pics.

[renewedhope 4]

Thanks! I will definately post some, but it will be after surgery. I don't want to show my before pics until I have some after pics to compare to. So...stay tuned and I will post pics after some of the swelling goes down!!

[georgia girl 35]

2 more days! I can't believe it's almost time. How ya feeling? You're going to do great!!

[Foofy 0]

Whoo hoo. It's almost time!!! Best of luck! I can't wait to see the results.

I am so ready to do this!! I am not scared at all, but I do feel a little nervous. Not in a bad way, just nervous anticipation. DS and I just finished up his schoolwork for today so now we are fixing to clean house. I am so proud of DS. He has worked really hard this week to get a week ahead in his schoolwork so that he can take next week off while I recover. He still has some language arts to do tomorrow and then he will have a week off. That will really make my life easier as I recover to not have to worry about his schoolwork.

I am so pumped!!! I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 on Fiday morning!! It is getting really close. Yall be sure and say a prayer for Shalee as well. She is having her Tummy Tuck in the morning!! She is going to do awesome.
