I have a date for my tummy tuck!

Hello All, Well I have a date for my Tummy Tuck...Friday October 20th!! Whoot Whoot Whoot! I am SOOOO excited to get it done! No more watching it wiggle...a jello commercial has nothing on me! LOL! My hubby & I got all the particulars and I had the final "Photo shoot"...my PS noticed I lost more weight and I was smaller than when she took the first set of pictures in April. So that made me feel good. She says I did a great job getting the weight off & my TT/lower body lift will be "nothing but skin removal." She doesn't believe I'll need any muscle repair expect a few stitches in my lower abdominal area from having a child. (She says it's pretty common with child birth) I'm also getting my upper back "bumper" liposuctioned for contouring. I'm siked and can't believe how quickly the day will be here! Just have a few loose ends with bloodwork & a pre-op physical and I'm good to go. I asked if she could let me know how much skin weight wise is being lifted off..& she'll weigh it for me...probably under 5 pounds she is guestimating at. The only down side is I won't be able to work out for 2 months....but she said I could walk as long as it isn't too strenuous so that'll be good. I hate just sitting around. Totally off limits with house cleaning...OH DARN... The surgery will be minimum 5 hours due to the liposuction. They have to turn me over while I'm asleep and she said that would be the "hard part". Alrighty I'm rambling...Plus I get a new belly button... tee hee... Can't wait..Can't wait..Can't wait! What a journey this has been & I just feel sooooo blessed to be getting to this point in my WLS walk. I never would have thought in a million years I would be this healthy & happy! Have good night all, Mickey

Hey Mickey CONGRATS on your date! I know that feeling! I am so glad to enjoy myself while I am running... No more jello feeling from my stomach! You will be happy once this extra skin is gone! You know Dr Goodkind said He took off my extra skiin off and there is no fat left off because I exercise almost everyday and very good muscle wall on my stomach. Now I am saving my money for Part two of PS for arm lift surgery. Please let us know how do you made out after your surgery. Please email me private if you have any questions about this surgery then I will be happy to answer your questions. See you at Walk for Obesity ! SMILE! Hugs Kathy K
