Scheduled for my Tummy Tuck w/Dr. Krieger

I am so sorry Loris - that sounds rough - you know I am here if you ever want to talk.

My divorce should have been through by now as we have been separated for over a year but it is about to get nasty so guess it will take longer to get settled. I am not in any great hurry except to be free of him but I am pretty free now so it is not desperate. I just started to take Connor to counseling to help him deal with his relationship with his dad because Connor just doesn't want anything to do with him and Bill barely spends any time with him... and when he does all he does is complain about his behavior - so Connor doesn't want to be there..Pretty sad really but the couselor asked me why I was trying to force a relationship there when there was no bond on Connor's part and I have been thinking about that. I was thinking it was necessary for his future well being  - but the counselor thinks Bill needs to make up his mind if he wants a relationship with him or not as it is not doing Connor any favors this way.... so the usual divorce stuff going on here....... when technically it shoud be finished... so not settled down yet...

I will get through it...

I have an appt with Krieger (2nd opinion) on the 5th Thursday.   I have spoken to several people who have experience with him and his associate Dr Goldberg.  

I am trying to schedule the 2nd week of December front and back LBL.  

Totally understand your fears.  Have them too.  My fears are scar tissue.   My 1999 hysterectomy issues will make my life difficult.

My 1st opinion is Dr Kriegel.   I am getting a discount as I am part of the Bluepoint Bariatric Group.   All work includeing hospital, anestisist, hospital & Doctor $12,000

I may get some of that back as I also have 2 hernias to be repaired.   Betting its a big maybe. 

Please keep in touch.  Hoping the best for you!!

Thanks Caroline for your response. My appointment is 10:30 on the 5th. Maybe we will cross paths.

aahhh 1:30       curious how you progress     pm me anytime

Sorry,  I am just getting to this note.

I love, love, love Dr Kreiger and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is wonderful, his results are wonderful and he has a great manner and really looks after you when you are in there. He controls pain very well, I never really suffered at all - I was scared I would, but truly, I took my meds and did not wake up in any pain etc  And afterwards I only took the pain meds for a few days and then went on tylenol - my gastric bypass was more painful that my plastic surgeries - I would do it all again in a heart beat!

Please feel free to tell him you talked with me and PM me if you want my number so we can talk.  Don't be scared - the difference this time will be when you wake up you will be happy because you can immediately see and feel a difference - and it just gets better. Trust me you will be happy with the results!

Take care and don't be scared! You wont regret this...

Thanks Jackie for your words of comfort along with the others. Iam still working on the weight loss and it is coming off.
The Fredericksburg Crew needs to have a coffee chat at Starbucks one morning or midday. Let's make it happen.

Wish I could  but mornings are very difficult for me with a 6 year old!  However we will be having our support group meeting on Wed the 11th (I think it is the 11th) so come along then and we can discuss your plastic surgery appointment and your up coming surgery - you won't regret it !

Morning or noon will work for me but it depends on the date. I have to schedule it around my job. I will be out of town this weekend. I will do my best to be at the support meeting.
