Plastic Surgery may NOT happen now..............

So I got an email from Barix that it may be a couple WEEKS before they call me to schedule a Tummy Tuck Surgery date. I'm really saddened by this. Let me explain. 1. I am single, and my Mom (who is psychotic) is the ONLY person who can take me down there and stay with me afterwards while I recover. There is NO ONE ELSE. 2. My Mom has purchased her "round trip airfare" for Mazatlan and departs out of Chicago on January 2, 2007 for 5 months. She indicated if I need her to stay, that I have to pay for her airline ticket, which is over 1 thousand dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so upset I could just spit. If it doesn't happen this year, I'm just going to forget it and live with big fat belly rolls and never jog and be the big fat person I am now. I'm so upset I could just cry right now. Yea, I may be putting the carriage before the horse but this is a disappointment when I thought it would be THIS WEEK (which is what I was told) that I would get the call for the date. I just want to have a good cry. This is really upsetting.

Stacey, you can do this without your Mom. You just need a ride home. Will it be uncomfortable?....Yes. Would it be easier with someone around?....Yes. Can you do it alone?....another big YES!!! It depends how bad you want it. My hubby got me home, but he travels for work, so he was only home the first day....I pretty much stayed on vicodin and slept, ate, repeat. Hey fellow Boarder's......Is there anyone out there from this Board nearby that can pick Stacey up from the hospital and get her home and comfortable? Can we take turns checking on her for a few days??? Stacey, aren't you from Mt. Pleasant?? I'm not too far, but I do work. I'd be happy to come and visit you....just can't stay because I work. But if there is enough of us, we could do this. If my Mom was like yours, forgive me when I say this, I'd rather NOT have her around for this. It's just gonna stress you out. Let us know what goes on. Hugs, Theresa

I mistakenly posted this same thread twice.......sorry about that! Theresa, I can't ask people to do this for me. People have lives, kids, families, jobs. It's generous of you to offer, and even voice to boarders to help out. Problem is I was told I need someone to "stay" with me for at least 1 week. I can't ask anyone here to do that.............. Thanks for being so wonderful............and yes, I'm in Mount Pleasant...still the same one just a new name Stacey

You know Stacey, I know all Dr's are different about how long to be cared for, etc. I should have thought of that. But still, maybe we can somehow help you. If I weren't working, I'd just come and plop myself down in you house and stay a week!! I'm sure you'd get sick of me!!! Maybe if a few of us scheduled a day each??? There's got to be a way. Hopefully you get a date soon and your Mom isn't gone yet. Let the Dr. know your perdicerment (sp?) and maybe they can fix it up. Carrie, are you reading this??? Also, you are NOT fat!!! It's easy to feel horribly bummed when things aren't going well, but you know you are a great success and I look up to you with all your accomplishments!!! Just hang in there...I KNOW things will work out! Most of all, best of luck to you....we are keeping you in our prayers! Theresa

Theresa: Wow...what sweet things to say to cheer me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so touched by your and other posts on that other thread that I mistakenly posted twice DUH what was I thinking????????????????????????? Ok, deep breath, I called them, and left a message about my PREDICAMENT? sp? and hope that things will work themselves out. If not, then I'll come pleaing to the board and see what's possible. PARDON ME FOR SAYING THIS BUT DA**IT I'M NOT A GIVER UPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so there I'm not gonna get tired of you Theresa you just do whatever you can do.......ok? Already you've made my pissy mood into one full of smiles!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smiling again Stacey

I'm already on it. I'm working on trying to get this set up. I've pulled your chart and have requested special attention to it. Stacey, I plan on keeping my eyes on it. I already mentioned it to the doctor as well. Carey

WOW. I dont know what to say other than THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stacey

RE: Plastic surgery may not happen for me Response from Jacqueline Berninger at 12:24 PM CST on 08/22/2006 Clinton Township, MI To my knowledge Dr DiNick is not doing any surgery for a couple of months, he is spending the time to open his new office, he can't do both at the same time. About 10 days ago I got a surgery date for the day before Thanksgiving, a friend of my was offer some time in Dec but decided to schedule for 3 Jan 07. This will be my fourth surgery with Dr DiNick, this last surgery was schedule for 3 Jun but it was postpone due to my possimum level being to low. Dr DiNick is worth the wait, just ask anyone who had surgery with him. Jackie

When you are done crying, drop me a note. Again, I've no obligations and have time on my hands. If we have any compatibility, I'll be glad to help you out. I owe so much to so many, and this would be both a payment on my karmic debt and a chance to find out if I will want plastics in the future.
