general_antiope 189 Posted November 17, 2009 Allie, it's two days away!!! :w00t: Are you unfilling your band at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allielee 263 Posted November 17, 2009 gahhhh day after tomorrow I will be in surgery at 8:30 a.m.! I am so excited and soo nervous. Kate I didn't get an unfill, I am actually really tight and asked my lapband doc and he said I didn't need to get an unfill. The percocets that I have are small. I have so much to do today.. I am trying to keep busy so I am going to get my nails (mani and pedi) done (no nail polish per doc) but cleaned up. I have to go find some large sweatpants with pockets to hold the drains.. going to finish all the laundry and make a couple dinners to have in the freezer for my family. I did have some sad news yesterday, my grandpa passed away. He has had alzheimers for years and really didn't remember anyone. It is so sad how that disease steals so much. Please keep me in your prayers on Thursday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Magoo 71 Posted November 17, 2009 Allie: I'll be thinking of you on Thursday. I'm sure things will go smoothly. You're going to love having a flat tummy and perky boobs again!:w00t: Congratulations, and please let us know how things go. Take care. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apples2 19 Posted November 17, 2009 Allie...so sorry you lost your GF.. It's been fun watching you transform. Looking forward to you posting photos of your final results. Stay strong, but have a pity party those first few days. Any of my friends that have had TT, breat lift, etc. have said anything they went through with the pain (some say they really didn't have a lot of pain...just that the drain bags were hard to deal with) was worth it. It should be considered the final step in your transformation. Good for you for taking that step. You will definately be in my prayers. God Bless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allielee 263 Posted November 18, 2009 TOMORROW! Wow I can't believe that tomorrow I will be on my way to finishing what I started on June 20, 2008. I am so excited and nervous all rolled into one. I think I am ready lol. I have purchased every thing I might possibly need. I am going out today to do some christmas shopping. I was just thinking gosh what if it takes me forever to feel better and I can't get out there to shop. I want to make sure that I get something special for my hubby and my girls. I also think the more prepared I am the less likely anything will go wrong. I will try and get on here as soon as I can after surgery. I am hoping I have a speedy recovery. Please keep me in your prayers :redface: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Magoo 71 Posted November 18, 2009 Allie: I'm jealous because you're going to have the abdomen and the boobs of a 20 year-old! You'll do great. Your positive thoughts will help through this.
