Plans....TT and stuff
Good Morning all.........I went to get some coffee this AM at Speedway as normal, and the gal there said it had snowed overnight just a weeeeeeeee bit.
I am NOT ready for this cold weather. 31 degrees was the temp on my truck thermostat this morning at 545am as I left for work.
. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Ok, so as you know I'm proceeding with my plans to have the reconstructive surgery Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty under the sweet direction and skillful hands of Dr. Vincent DiNick, MD -extraordinare!!!
My plans (as several of you have emailed me indicating you would like to know them) are as follows:
Mom is coming on the 25th, and we will place her in a locked room covered with duct tape and rope and no stuff bunnies. "NOT!"....ok well it was a thought.
She is truly arriving on the 25th, dinner out no doubt (surely not Bennigans where I was humiliated Monday!) as that will be my last 'decent' meal until post op. On the 26th we are heading to Ann Arbor where deluxe accomodations await us at the "Marriot" Hotel (it's either in Ann Arbor or Ypsi I'm not quite sure) and there we will kick back and enjoy perhaps a dip in the pool (I won't drown her I promise!!!) and my noon diet of clear liquids must cease at midnight.
On the 27th, I shall arrive at Barix/Forest Health presently surgery arrival time is TBD (to be determined) - it will either be 6am or 11am. I won't know until next week.
I shall then undergo the dream I have waited for for over ............30 some years.
Recovery at the hospital however long needed, then perhaps one more night at the hotel to make sure I can handle the ride home (2.5 hours).
Once home, I plan to lay around endlessly watching movies, sleeping, watching movies, or tv, listening to music, possibly watching movies, and enjoying being waited on hand and foot.
Should any of you wish to come visit, just do it. Debbie Miers is my angel and will have my address and directions to my home and cell phone number. All I can warn you about is I have a cat so if you are allergic 'heads up". Other than that, come on over. Take me away from there after my first week or so. I'm sure I would love the company. Knowing how Mom gets on my nerves (shhhhhhhhhhh- don't tell her I said that!!) I would most likely love to see faces I've tangled webs with here and there.
Just a note: If you want to call me first and plan something that's great...but skip the email because right now and TFN, I don't have internet at home. (Hey, the horse is more important to me!!!) So you are welcome to call..... ok?
And one more thing, THANK YOU all for your generosity - kindness -support - friendship-sticking by me through all this and being just the greatest friends anyone could ever have!!! ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/mbgraphics/emoticons/love.gif)

You go girl. I can't wait to get all this extra skin removed. I want a TT, thighs, breast life and face work. I hope they can do it all in one surgery. What made you go so far to get it done. Is your Dr. really the best? 2.5 hours is a heck of a way to go.
I am down to 163 from 285 but still have 30 or so to go.
You will look so hot after it is done. Good luck with your mom.

Good luck to you Stacey! I am actually sitting right now with a nervous stomach which I haven't had in years. I wasn't even nervous for my bypass. At 5:45am I leave for my full TT and tubal. I am very excited and I know that this is a treat that we deserve after all our hard work. All I can say is I wish my mom was alive to help me. I have the same kind of parent still around though, my dad who still reminds me that I still look fat. I am certain all the mental abuse that he doesn't even realize he is causing will lead me to believe that I will always look fat. I hope this TT makes me feel better and see a prettier me..
Enough of my nervous rambling.. The point is good luck to you and you will be in my prayers
