PreOp
Went for my PreOp today for my extended TT scheduled for 4/8. Really excited, ready to get it over with and be on the other side of the surgery. I am dreading the pain because I had NO pain with my RNY or my hysterectomy. I don't do great with pain meds - they make me hallucinate, which is not good. I still think having those "nekked" pictures made will be the worst part - how embarrassing - and she asked if I wanted my husband to come along for the pictures - is she kidding - me, nekked in front of the both of them - NO WAY!
My surgery will be a the doctor's office and I will go home the same day, with a catheter = my husband is a team leader in the OR, so I will have my own private nurse. Will have 2, maybe 3 drains - that will be the second worst part, having those removed (that did hurt when I had my RNY, but only for about 10 minutes). There will be some lipo on the flanks for contouring and she said this would feel like a deep burning sensation. I did tell them any sympathy surgery he wants to throw in would be greatly appreciated!
I wrote out those big checks today so I guess this really is REAL!
I feel like this is an exclaimation point at the end of my story!!!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/beer.gif)

I don't know about the pics - pictures are not my thing, even in my post WLS body. It would be interesting to see exactly what he cuts off, though. Guess a picture would be the only way to know, huh? I did sign to have the fat cells studied - I think it's interesting they can study fat cells and their relationship to diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. If my fat can help others then more power to it!
