I have a date with Dr. Sauceda

Functionality is good...it'll help you get where you want to be if you are comfortable in your own skin.

I can't wait to have my upper belly gone...no more belly button yeast infections. Ah, heaven! 

Suzie, what's a belly button yeast infection?   Is there any visible red rash or anything.   My BB is RANK by the end of the day.  I think it's "yeasty" but I have no rash or anything.  I'm wondering if I'm missing something I should be documenting. 

Ugh! It gets itchy, red, raw, and oozy at times. At this point, it never completely goes away, but is definitely worse in the hot summer months. I have used creams and sprays, kept it as clean and dry as I am able...but the overlap of skin above the bb continually keeps the conditions ripe for another infection.

Absolutely document every infection and rash, and medications used to treat them. See your doctor for further documentation, and medication if needed. You never know...your particular insurance plan and physical details may allow for insurance coverage of tummy work.

That's cool.
What are you having done on the 2nd?

I'll be starting to freak out in about 2 weeks but somewhere around Thanksgiving will calm down again. Right now I'm just excited and starting to get things ready around the house.

I've got company coming 3 weeks after surgery.....I'm hoping I'll be able to walk around ok by then.  It will be interesting to say the least.

Thank you...I can't believe it's really going to happen.

CONGRATS!!! I'll be there the 29th! Maybe we'll overlap.

Certainly! I'll be there through Jan. 1st or 2nd.

Yipee!!!!   Looks like it will be me and you for Christmas in Monterrey.  I'm sooooo  glad that I won't be alone for Christmas. 

When is your surgery date?
