Any last minute pointers???
My surgery is this Friday 9/11/09.
1. I filled my pain meds. However I think I need to call her back and get the pills. I have liquid Lortab Elxir (my request) and on Sunday I had a really bad back ache so I drank some and boy it made me sick as hell. I don't think the liquid pain med is going to work.
2. Bought two body pillows.
3. Have protien shakes.
4. Have antibacterial soap.
5. I Pod full of music and movies.
6. Bag packed with two gowns that button up the front.
7. New underwear.
Am I forgetting anything? I'm more so scared about the pain as I am the surgery. Can't wait to have a flat stomach with my hugs love handles gone.
One last question, For those of you who had your love handles lipoed please take a look at my pics and tell me if your love handles were are big as mine. If so, after your tt were they gone. I'm so worried about the handles still being there although I told my surgeon I want them gone too. She said she would have to cut me hip to hip to get rid of them. Please anyone whom kind of looked like me pre-op please responds. Inbox me and I will give you the password to the album.

Good luck on your surgery, you will LOVE it!!!! I had huge wads of skin over my hips and with the extended TT, they are GONE!! Make sure that you take a stool softener, I get mine at Wal-Mart, over the counter generic for Colace, NOT Peri-Colace. I take Vicodin pain pills, I've never had any problem with them and I have a real delicate stomach. The meds did make me very constipated, so make sure to take your stool softener, that is the major problem I had with my TT. Again, good luck, get enough rest and make sure you keep your drain lines stripped!!
