UpcomingTummy Tuck

Sep 25, 2012

Heading to pre op admission this morning, My Tummy Tuck is scheduled for Monday, October 1st, I am getting a little nervous about it all. I am not so nervous about the surgery itself, but all that will go into play afterwards.

I am fiercely independent and hate that feeling of not being able to do for myself and having to be dependant on others. One memory that stays with me to this day is right after I had VSG surgery, I wasn’t able to put my sneakers on when I was leaving the hospital and someone had to do it for me.  My aunt laughed and shook her head as I made the attempt but wasn’t able to. I can laugh about it now but in that moment it wasn’t funny and I know I am going to find myself in that place again.

Loss of independence is never a good feeling especially when you are a bigger person; you overcompensate naturally because you don’t want people to view your size as a limitation on what you are able to do.

I am rambling but needed to loosen up the girdle a little LOL.
