3 Days to Phase one of reconstructive surgery

I just wanted to post a quick message to everyone to keep me in your prayers as I endure 3 surgeries in the next 5 weeks. On Monday January 26, I will have a breast reduction done. Flopsy and Mopsy will now become Nip and Tuck. I also found out two days ago, that my gallbladder does have to come out, so that will now be phase ll. March 1, I will go under the knife once again for my abdominoplasty. I am very nervous about all this surgery, but excited to see what the changes will bring. I had my surgery 12/12/02 and have lost almost 95# and 79 3/4 ". The goal is to lose about 11 more pounds of skin. I will update soon on my progress. Anne

Just an update on my progress. I have now had my breast reduction surgery on 1/26/04 as well as my gallbladder out on 2/5/04. I would have to say the worst thing about the breast reduction surgery is seeing yourself for the first time. It was shocking but as each day goes by and the swelling subsides, it looks better. I actually have more pain from my gallbladder surgery than the breast reduction. I was very scared before surgery, but I know the outcome will be worth all the worry and pain. My abdominoplasty is scheduled for 3/1/04 and frankly I will be glad when it is over.

Best wishes to you hon, on your upcoming surgery, May you have a quick and smooth recovery. hang in there and enjoy the new you. Take care **Hugs**

Anne Good luck to you. I have not started looking into plastic surgery but I too need the same thing done. Did your insurance pay for any of it, or will they? Who are you usign for the surgery? Please let me know how you do and I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to tighten up my boobs! I've never been so flat in my life and I too would love to lose 10 pounds of stomach fat! Good luck, Jeannie
