Big Day Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, the excess skin on my lower body is going the way of the Saber Tooth Cat and Wooly Mammoth.

Yesterday I met with Dr. Katzen for the first time in person.  The appointment went great and I went away really feeling at ease about the surgery.  The recovery is what I am dreading now.  I am going to be out of commission for quite some time.  But it will all be worth it!

So tomorrow I have to be at the surgical centre at 6am.  Once the surgery starts, I will be under for up to 9 hours.  After surgery, I will be transported by ambulance to Pearl Recovery Retreat.  A fancy-schmancy recovery place that is in a hotel.  I will be there for two nights and Matt is also able to stay with me.  Then we will return back to our rental suite where I will recover for two weeks in a very lovely remote controlled lazyboy recliner. 

Fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan and that I heal very well after surgery.  We will have internet access at the surgical centre (well Matt will) and also at the recovery centre.  I am sure there will be heaps of updates!

My inbox has been filled with well-wishes and I am very thankful for the incredible support I have.  Thank you everyone!

Getting nekked at my pre-op appointment!

Saber Tooth Cat!  The La Brea Tar Pits are fantastic.

Scary as shit injections.  But they prevent clotting, so all for a good reason.

Happy narcotics!  Wooowweee!  I am going to be crazeeeee!

All of that will be gone!  Hello new flat tummy and brand new belly button!

I am going to look some different!  My hard work is really paying off.
