Two weeks from today...my date with Dr. L!

I can't believe how fast time flies!  I made my appt for my LBL, BL & chin lipo with Dr. Lomonaco months ago....and now it's two weeks away!  I'm petrified!!  I feel confident with Dr. L's abilities, so I'm not worried about that, just about all the unknowns, and of course DYING!  I feel I'm well prepared thanks to all of you on this board.  So many helpful hints and tips!!  It's still just much different when it's YOU about to go through it all.  Thanks again for all the great info from you veterans!!  I'm not sure if I'll be brave enough for before and after pics...but I guess we'll see how I feel about it afterwards!  But I'll definately keep you guys posted on how it goes.

All the best to you with this! I have my initial consult with Dr. L on Monday. I'm a little nervous, but ready to get on with this stage of my journey. You are starting out the new year in a great way!

Thanks Shelly!  I remember being super nervous for my initial consult too, but he's GREAT!  The really scary part is the naked pics!! YUCK!  And yes, that is my plan to start the new year off with a "bang"!  It's also 2 days before my birthday, so it's a birthday present to myself...to refresh and update my "birthday suit"!

That's a great gift to give yourself! :)

And yes, I'm having some anxiety about the pics- I hope he doesn't scratch his eyes out in horror. Oh well- keeping the end result in mind and trying not to think too much about that part-

No way he'll scratch his eyes out...if he can survive my pics without flinching  or dry-heaving... then he can handle anything!  LOL!

I know how scary it can be right before surgery.  There are lots of unknowns, but I'm sure you'll do just fine.  Dr L is great and will put you at ease!

Yeah...he's great and I don't doubt his abilities...I doubt my body's ability to look good afterwards or heal properly..LOL!  I just can't imagine how I will look afterwards, I think that is a big part of the anxiety.

I had fear and anxiety almost make me cancel. I got here and had a panic attack when I was at the hotel. But I prayed it through. If you're a Christian or believe in God think of this scripture - God didn't give me a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. That helped me a lot. You'll be in great hands with Dr. Lo

Thanks Leah!!  That does help!  I'm so happy to see you posting already!!  How are you feeling??

I am tired and sore but I am moving around and doing well I think,.
