Ok...so, here's a lingo primer. lol. I'm having the following procedures:
tummy tuck with a vertical incision(from the horizontal cut, upward toward my sternum).
breast lift and breast augmentation (bl/ba) with an anchor cut. That is around the areola, vertical incision to the under side of the breast, meeting the horizontal incision that is made in the crease under the breast.
medial thigh lift...which is an incision from either side of my groin, meeting the tummy tuck horizontal cut, down the inside leg crease, and ending somewhere along the crease between the buttock and the leg.
When I'm more brave, I plan to post my pre-op pics from both home and at the surgery clinic during my pre-op visit with Dr. Sauceda. Then, of course, I'll post my immediate post op pics.

Thanks, Marilyn...
I am so pleased with my decision to go to Monterrey. Dr. Sauceda seems like the cat's meow...I can't find a negative bit of feedback anywhere! So, it looks like I will have a new and improved body for Christmas and New Years. I can't wait and neither can the family. I'm feeling so blessed right now.

Brit...
I am so sorry to hear the problems at home are still hanging around. Sometimes life can seem so unfair and lacking of joy...but it will turn around.
With regard to the reactive hypo...I've had a few episodes, but they have always happened in the middle of the night. Typically, I am woken out of a deep sleep only to find myself confused, sweaty, nervous, and shaky. I only seem to know that I need to get to the kitchen for water and something to eat. It scares the crap out of me every time it has happened! I've been lucky it hasn't happened during the day or in times when it could put me or others in danger. In the end...I have no idea why it has happened or what has triggered it.
I really hope your health is good otherwise and that you are able to find ways of controlling your hypo symptoms. A blood sugar of 16 is deadly! Take care and come around more often!!! I miss seeing you around here.

Hey everyone-
I've had a rough time recently...
home problems, illness and now recents probs- am going to post on main RNY board just to get more feedback and ?'s answered...
but here's the jist...
possible reactive hypoglycemia?... had 2hr blood glucose test and failed- started meds- had test again just Friday- felt the usual driving home after- shaky and hyper after being hyper and then tired after drinking the stuff for the test...
My Dr gets paged at 2am- and then calls me- level had dropped to 16!!! Now she had told me not to drive home because she knew the test would mess me up- but a 16? From what I've read- that's pretty bad and the Dr was totally freaked out. So- now own a meter and am learning to use it. but it's crazy- no real changes in diet- was never a dumper... what the heck is going on?
Good to know that my symptoms (shakiness, loss of memory at times, nervousness, trouble speaking and drowsiness) have a cause. But I will be thrilled to get the education that comes with whatever I've got. Dr said (beofre the test) she wanted me to go diabetes community center, and meet with a dietician... but from the testing this weekend- it doesn't matter what I eat- the numbers bounce all over the place. At my most recent physical the Dr was thrilled- kept my weight off- resting pulse 58, BP 96/52 and my body fat from my home scale still syas I'm at 20-21%. I've been exercising ave 1.5- 2.5 hrs/day- mon -thurs. Other than my monthly iron infusions thought all was going well. Went in this time with complaints of the shakiness and muscle cramping.
Oh well- keep ypu posted-

Congrats! Yes - it's really happening!!! I'm so happy for you and pleased that you can get all of those procedures done at once. That is really what I was hoping for also, but it just didn't work for me. So, I'll settle to do it in stages.
I'm glad you went with Dr. S. from the posts I read you should be in good hands. That is awesome that your hubby gets to do along for help and support!
I love it when the kids are excited for you. My son is 10 and is so supportive in his own little way.

I have already posted this on the Plastic Surgery forum...but, you girls, as they say, are my peeps so I have to personally tell my news.
I have a date of December 22 with Dr. Sauceda of Monterrey, MX to have a tummy tuck w/anchor cut, bl/ba w/anchor cut, and a medial thigh lift. I will be staying for about 12 days, and will have my hubby accompany me there. Of course, I will be away for the holidays, but my kids are actually excited to see me go...they know I've wanted this for soooo long! My 7 year old, Piper, said to me last night, "I just know you are going to be more beautiful and perfect when you have your tummy fixed, Mom." I hope she knows what she's talking about! lol.
Anyway, we ordered our passports yesterday on expedited status ($385?? yikes!) and have money in hand for the surgery and travel costs. I have to get the $ into the bank today so I can book our flights. I am super excited and anxious...this is really happening?? Wow!
