YEAH! I made it to Monterrey!

Got to the airport & there was Doctor Sauceda waiting for me, we went shopping & now I am at the hotel now getting some rest, considering I only slept 1 hr. last night!  Then a shower & my markings consult will be tonight at 7pm.  Hopefully a good night sleep after that & surgery will be at 8 am tomorrow morning.  He told me today to take a good look at myself in the mirror & to take pictures if I want them, cause this is the last day I will ever see all that sagging skin  ! That really puts it in perspective...  

Wow!  How exciting!  What procedures will you be having?

So excited for you and best of luck!

 I am scheduled to have an LBL, BL/BA, brachio, & small thigh lift.  And you are not kidding Dr. S is so nice, even more so in person! 

Yes!  I totally agree!  When I met him in person in September...I knew right away that he was the PS for me!

Please keep us posted!!

Say goodbye and good riddance to that excess skin and HELLO to the new, gorgeous body you will have tomorrow!! 

Wow!  You gave my goose-bumps!  I am so excited for you!  I just got an email from Dr. S.  He was letting me know which blood tests to get and what I needed to do prior to surgery.  He's so nice!  Rest and relax and just breath deeply... this is the start of a new You!

Mine time is one month from today! 

Thanks for posting!

WOW - he was waiting for you at the airport?  I'm impressed!!!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Jody,

If Dr Sauceda doesn't have a surgery scheduled, he pick all of his patients up at the airport personally. It was so great to see him at the airport and helped ease my nerves completely!

Isn't that amazing?

Fab, when I read this, I started crying! I am so happy for you and really excited about seeing you next week. One week from right now, I will be in surgery!!

I have not told my mother or other family members. I am feeling really weirded out about that, but I know she would never understand the need I have to "finish" up with all the fat business that has caused me so much angst over the years.

My kids and many friends are aware, and supportive. As are my friends and all of YOU GUYS!!

Fab, I wish you all kinds of good things and sooo cant wait to see you next week. TTYL, God bless YOU and Dr S!!

((((HUGS))))

 All right 1 week to go & I'll be right there when you get out!  I ought to be getting around pretty good by then...

I am counting on it, Sweetie!! I am a wimp when it come to pain, so I hope what everyone else has said is true...that the first day or 2 are the toughest, then it is just discomfort...not so much "pain".

Hope you boned up on your Spanish!! I will need a cheatsheet before you leave. I only know naughty words in Spanish...and even then, just  few. Dont really wanna use THEM!!

Good luck tomorrow...now GO TO BED!! Get some rest.

Teri
