I can't find a bra!! no stores have any that can help me, does anyone know some place that sizes you and has them in stock I will need at least a ddd if not bigger because of the excess skin. Please help!!

 I am glad that you have the surgery over and making progress. I, too, am dealing with St V in Carmel. How has the adjustment been to get the supplements, water, food and etc in during the day? I am waiting for the insurance acceptance. 

I too can't believe how fast this month is going. When I first started this journey, I thought it would take forever to get to have my surgery, and boom...it's next month!! Wow!!! 

Thank you so much for telling me about the bowel prep. I thought we would have to drink some of that nasty tasting stuff they give you before you have to have a colonoscopy. My husband and to drink that a few years ago, and it was all he could do not to throw up!!! I can handle the prep diet!! 

Are you ready to start  your new journey?  I'm making lists of things that need to be done before my surgery. I'm also trying to prepare my kids for what's about to happen. My oldest daughter and youngest daughter have alot of questions, but basically, they support me. My middle daughter is totally against the surgery, so I have to use baby steps when I speak of the surgery. I'm also trying to prepare my husband for all the "chores" he will have to do while I'm recovering. I just  hope he can handle it all!! 

Is it normal to be scared to death and excited at the same time?  lol 

When I had surgery they gave us a yellow packet that had questions in it.  It covered different situations and scenarios that could happen post op.  My best advise is to just have a plan for the good outcomes, but also have a plan in case you have complications.  I was one of the unlucky ones to have a few complications.  I feel that because I had a plan in place I still healed quickly.  Wishing you the best!

Hello! I hope you're doing well. ***UPDATE***  I have a date!!!  Heather called me yesterday to inform me that my surgery will be on Thursday, March 3rd at 8 am.  I'm soooo nervous and excited!!

I'm still waiting on her to call me back with a pre op date and time. I can't believe it!!! Finally!!!

Thank you so much for answering all my questions. I have so many of them! I'm just trying to prepare myself on what to expect. I think the one thing that scares me the most is shots. Isn't that silly? I mean, I'm facing major surgery, and I'm afraid of the shots. Geezz !!!  I'm also nervous about having to drink the "paste'. I hope I don't throw up!! How in the world do you contain a burp? lol 

It's so nice to have you to talk to about this journey.
