Getting Nervous about my PS
I know I haven't been on the boards lately but I REALLY need you guys right now. I feel so much more nervous about my plastic surgery than my gastric bypass. I had my pre-op appointment yesterday for my November 6th surgery. I am so nervous that I found myself snacking for VERY BAD things to eat. I haven't been like that since before I had my RNY in May 07. Has anyone else gone through this...this emotional, I guess, turmoil???? I'm excited to get rid of the extra skin and finally complete my journey BUT I'm so SCARED!! Maybe because this surgery is for cosmetic purposes...NOT to save my life like the gastric bypass. I don't know. I feel so jumbled inside....hence the jabber of this post. Is this a normal reaction???? Has anyone else experienced this same feeling? Any support right now would be truly appreciated. I am going to try to make it to Tom's Farm but I will only be 2 days post op. Do you think that would be too soon to come out? Will I even feel like it??? Maybe some of you could stop by my house???? I am in Corona.....right up the 15 from Tom's Farm!!
Love you guys!!!

I have no idea what you are going through, I wish!! lol but wanted to send support and well wishes. I'm sure what you are going through is normal and I don't really think it is purely cosmetic! It is the finishing touches on the new you and learning to live with and accept your new body and attitude. I really believe it is a necessary step and you are very lucky to be taking it!!! God will be with you sweetie!!! MHO is that Tom's Farm will be too much for you that early out, but I could be wrong!
God bless you sweetie and smooth sailing!!!! bigg huggs, Becky
Surgery was RNY 5/21/07...I can be found on Facebook: anewbecboo or Becky Reddick
Thank you, Becky. I know that I am blessed to be able to have this surgery. But I am really scared. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it!! I can't imagine what it is going to feel like to have this extra skin off and have my breasts back where they belong!! Have a great lunch at the San Diego get together. I was going to try to make it but one of my daughter's has a gymnastics competition and the other has a soccer game. I will make it one day!!
Hugs,

I think that what you are feeling is quite normal.....I felt the exact same way before my plastics, even a bit guilty, like I didn't really "need" it. I think that you are not alone, as I've taked to others who have felt the same way too.
Blessings to you...........be sure to take lots of pics in the whole process!

Janel,
I think you hit nail on the head with your response. I think what I am feeling is guilty....spending that kind of money on just me. It seems so selfish. But I know it is the right thing for me...to complete my journey of weightloss.
Thank you so much. Oh yah, the PS already took my "before" pics!! All I can say is SCARY!!! LOL Thank you for your support and kind words!!

Hi Heather,
Well let me tell you, I went for a consult and am waiting for my insurance company to come through with confirmation that they would pay for it, but then I had another shoulder surgery, the first thing I said when I woke up to Doug was, no tummy tuck, I can't take this any longer. Of course that was last week and now I can't wait to have it done. The skin needs to be GONE GONE GONE! Try not to focus on the surgery but how good you will look AFTER. Sometimes you have to do that to get through rough times because of anxiety. You are going to do fine. I really don't think you will feel like showing up at Tom's Farms, just rest and take care of yourself, that is what is important.
Hugs, Diane
