Tommorrow is My Big Day!

Well, I go in bright and early tommorrow morning for my Fleur-d-lis TT and Breast Lift/Implants. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I know I'm gonna be in pain, I did ask for an on-q pump but the doc said I wouldn't need it. So I told him, I'm paying for it and I want It! So hopefully they remember that I want one. Mainly because I don't absorb pain meds like I used to. I've already decided that I'm not gonna get the brachioplasty anytime soon. They can remove about an 1 1/4 inches from each arm, but I don't think they look too bad, so I'll wait until a later time. I'm still gonna get the buttock lift /Outer Thigh lift this spring. I'm gonna wait 6-8 months after that to have the inner thighs done with some lipo on the knees. My doc says if I wait for the other surgeries to do "Their work" and settle, I can get better results with the inner thighs. He said thighplasty is the most revised PS that you can have. The skin just doesn't tighten up like the rest of the body. So I'm looking at a 2 year PS-plan. A little at a time. I think the results will be better this way. If I can avoid revisions, that would be for the best. I posted my before pics on makemeheal.com. I will post my after shots after my surgery. If you would like to see them please send me a message or email me at [email protected]. The PG-13 rated ones are on my profile. Warning do not look at them if your eating(lol)

Jane, you will be in my prayers and thoughts. Please let us know how you are doing when you get a chance. Dana

Jane, good luck to you. I know it's a big day and I will pray that all goes well. I hope Heidi hasn't scared you!! Keep us posted, please. We'll be thinking of you. Take care, Sweetie, and keep pumping that pain pump!! Hugs, Vicki

Jane, I am so happy for you. I will be so glad when I can begin PS. You will be in my prayers. Carmen

Hey woman, Ya know I love ya, and I'll definitely be thinking wonderful thoughts and sending out good vibes all day for you tomorrow. Try to keep upbeat and positive, even if you're in pain, as much as I know thats hard. Be your own best advocate, and don't buy into the "you shouldn't/don't need it" attitude of a doctor that isn't being sliced and diced. INSIST on the on-q pump if thats what you want... Like you said, you're paying for it! If you need anything at all, call me, I'll make the trip! Best of luck sweet thing. You've earned this, and I'm so excited for the next leg of your journey. Wendy PS.. I had a great time the other night, so glad we could hang!

You are going to do so well .. and I am so glad you have this opportunity ... you have been through so much .. and deserve this ... I love ya .. and will be thinking about you ... Can you have someone update us on your progress ... and let us know you are out .. Be good .. know I am praying for you .. Always, your new sis .. Natalie

Hello my beautiful friend, I just sent this in a private email, but since most of my emails never make it to their destination - [tried sending one to Wendy that took 3 attempts and FOUR days to actually get to her, go figure) ...anyway, thought Id post it here too, just in case. ============================================= How are you doing this morning????? Gonna keep this short and sweet, not sure if you're still at the house or not -- I know you said you had the first surgery of the morning, but can't figure out how far you are from the hospital and how early you have to leave your house to get there. Trust in your decision, your doctor and your overall quest for health and happiness. Although ANY type of surgery can be painful (comes with the concept of slicing and dicing, lol) ....I think you'll find the reconstructive process is the MOST REWARDING, short of losing the weight itself. Love you - thinking about you - saying some special prayers, and I'll ask my brother Bobby (my guardian angel) to keep a special eye on you till we get you outta' the OR and in your room with MrHappyPainPump. Love / Hugs - Lei ============================================== Pssssst..... make SURE your mom has my cell number and CALLs me, okay? I have some errands to run this morning and I'm meeting a girlfriend for lunch, but I promise to keep my phone near my ear at all times. I'll send an update to everyone as soon as I get back to the 'puter. .

Good Luck Jane! I hope things are uneventful and that you recover well! Please update when you're up to it! Hugs, Tracy B
