Today is the day!!

It's 4  something am....omg who gets up at this hour???? Anyways I have to be at the hospital by 5:30. I could not sleep at all last night. I looked at the clock from 2 am til 4 I swear! I am having my hernia(3rd boob as it has so affectionately been called for 3 years ) fixed and a panni. I am very nervous about the whole panni thing. I hope it wont be too much worse than a c-section. Anyways I was told I would have a couple of drain tubes and something called a omni pump. It is something to do with pain management. I am more nervous about the removal of the tubes in a week or so than anything. I will update when I can.

Oh and I am 9lbs away from the doctors goal and I wont be a year out til the 25th!!! Yeahhh. Maybe the skin will weigh 10 lbs.

Melissa,

Good luck to you and let us hear how you are doing when you can.  You have done so great with your weight loss... Congratulations !

Good luck Melissa.

Good luck!

You will do great!

The skin very well could weigh 9 pounds. I had 11 pounds cut off of my belly.

The tubes are annoying. You will be so glad to get them out. It uncomfortable to have the tubes pulled out, but you will feel better after they are removed.

take care

Good luck Melissa. I will be waiting to hear how you have done. So close to goal weight! wow

You're in my thoughts and prayers this morning. Hope all goes well and you enjoy a speedy and uneventful recovery.
