OH MY GOD...21 days!!!



Recommended Posts

I need the some serious good vibes sent my way...in just 21 days I'm headed under the knife for my lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I'm really starting to freak out. I recently separated from my husband and I'm really scared about the recovery. I won't have someone with me 24/7. I hate pain and I know that I will be in some serious, serious pain. YIKES. Send me some good, non painful vibes!!! Thanks everyone.:mellow:

I'm sending good vibes your way! You'll do great. This will be the icing on the cake after your fantastic weight loss. Will you have someone else at home to help you out after surgery? I can't wait to hear how your surgery goes. Mine will be April 30th.

Sending positive healing vibes out your way.

Sorry to hear about the marriage. You do have someone to come help you out the first few days right?

Don't stress these 3 weeks before your surgery, it will be done and over before you even know it.

Mum, Good Luck with your surgery. I had a lower body lift a little over a year ago and have no regrets. Sorry to hear about your marriage though. My Doctor would not let me go home unless I had someone with me 24/7 for 5 days. Hope you can get someone to come & stay as it really helped me. I wasn't able to shower w/o help, as I needed someone to take off the compression garment, dry me off & put on another garment. It was also helpful with getting in & out of bed & going to the bathroom.

OK, so the title says 21 more days but now I'm just a mere 7 days out from surgery. I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. I can't believe that in just one week I will be at the hospital right now gearing up to go under the knife. Oh my God...the reality is incredible.

I am just about ready...going to get my blood work done today and going to take my prescriptions to get filled. I'm doing it...it's all paid for and there's no turning back now. Holy cow...I can't believe it.

WOW!!!!! What an amazing feeling you must be having. I send you nothing but wonderful vibes and constant support. I have bounced back and forth on this issue many times, as to have excess skin removed or not once I achieve my goal. Setting here thinking about 7 days out for you almost makes me a bit over whelmed for you and myself. To be able to look at yourself in a different light and feel so much better while doing it has got to be the most rewarding thing since the weight losee journey. If I lived near you I would help take care of you, just to watch your life change. Goodluck on this and I am sure you will do fine. You know the old advice we have all heard....NO PAIN NO GAIN right. Once all is done you will begin your life again but in a different mind set. How awesome.

Hi there everyone...the hard part is over...the six hours of surgery went well and I'm doing pretty damn fantastic. Went in for my follow-up today...didn't get any drains taken out but that's alright...I almost cried when I saw my flat stomach. I have the world in my hands now...damn...I'm so happy...despite all the pain. Here are some pics...what do you all think?

Congratulations! I have been watching the skin become looser on my body week by week. I didnt think I would need a lower body lift, but it is apparent that i do. I am encouraged by your photos and smiles!

my best to you! You look great.

Congrats and welcome to flatlands!

Apparently when I came out of recovery, I reached down, felt my waist and said 'omg I've got a tiny waist!' LOL!

I don't remember but the nurse assured me that those were my first words.

You look great, matey! It'll only get better from here!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
