Going to take the plunge - again!
My surgery date is Jan 18th and will be with the same Dr who did my tummy tuck. I'll stay with my daughter for a week or so before coming back home. Its exactly 1 year minus 1 day after my tummy tuck... the main reason I decided to do it now is because BF is having rotator cuff surgery in Dec and will be in a sling until March; I'll get my boob job and should be recovered pretty good by March - and we're talking about going to Vegas or taking another vacation then.
I'm having a challenge finding someone who can take me/pick me up from the clinic (its outpatient)... but I'll keep working on it. If my daughter has a job by then, she won't be available. BF has a mandatory training session that day and can't go, my sister has to work and has no backup - phht! I'll figure it out.... I had a consult with a Dr here, but the price was $3000 more than down there... and plus since this is the Dr who did my tummy tuck and did an awesome job - I just feel good about him doing this one too. Its inconvenient as far as location, but I guess its the way it goes.
A little excited but not nearly as emotional as the last surgery - I guess its because I know a lot more about it and what to expect.

I am ready for plastics. The girls...well, I thought I would pass on any augmentation but the bewbies left with the rest of me so I would like to get new bewbies and a tight tummy tuck. I remember you getting very nervous about the TT and can't believe its almost been a year for you.
Can you believe that in about 3 weeks or so it'd be a year for my wls?? and that you were (and still are) my angel??
I'll PM you with lots of questions when I am ready for plastics. I have a goal to pay off all my cc debt by june and I am so on track its disgusting...lol even with all my 2010 trials and tribulations...lol
HUGS to you and boy will that be a fun Vegas trip for your recovery. If you drive 8 hrs up north...you can come visit me in Reno :) JUST kidding...I'm sure you'll be plenty occupied!!!

How many weeks were you off work with your tummy tuck? It's hard to believe that was almost a year ago! How many weeks will it be with this next surgery? I'm definitely going to want my girls to find a happier location to hang out.

I don't know about this one, but I'm thinking 2-3 weeks. I've heard it isn't nearly as hard to recuperate from than the TT.
Thanks for the well wishes! I'm going to be happy when its done!

I've got the same questions - "how's it going to feel, look, etc"... I guess we'll see!
I'll be posting some questions on the PS board in a few weeks, I'm sure. Those people are very helpful!
