Counting Down...
...to just 9 more days before the big day
I have had sooooo much time to think about this. I am a wreck. I made the decision and I am going through with it. I just don't want anything wrong to happen. I don't want to be that one percent that dies or has complications. I hope I get REALLY doped up for this!!
I'm still pre-op but have been following the message board for quite some time now and have a few suggestions for you. Here are some things to keep you busy: take pics of yourself from all angles, take measurements of all over your body...this will be a good boost later to help you mark your progress. Stay busy...watch videos, go to the movies, swim or do some water exercises, be good to yourself with nurturing things...manicure/pedicure, hot bubble bath, reading, journal about your feelings/fears and hopes...stay busy. The complication rate is low for a reason...the surgery is much more advanced than ever before. You will do fine. I have read your profile and you have come so far from your first entries. Hang in there and keep us all posted. xoxo
