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!!!!!

DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana

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....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
