On the Table Again!

Mar 03, 2009

I had my first plastic surgery appointment with Dr. Smith on Thursday.  I've decided to GET A NEW BOOB!!!  This is all that will transpire when I get my surgery:  I will get a new boob which they will take the fat from my stomach.  It is called a Tram Flap.  The doc will take a football size portion from my stomach.  He said that it was a very good thing that I lost all the weight.  By the way I'm down 102 pounds so far.  He will also give me a lift to my other boob and decrease it.  The best part is that there won't be any charge for the tummy tuck because they are taking the fat FROM my stomach to make my boob.  Apparently i've lost enough weight for it to qualify.  wooooooooo hooooooooo! 

I, therefore, decided to get my arms done next year.  I look like a bat that is ready to take off! 

Oh by the way the operation is going to take a minimum of 8 hours for the boobs and stomach.  The reason for this amount of time in surgery is because they have to get my veins together and hope they work as one.  I will be in the ICU for 2 days.  I was really hoping that it was going to be an in and out surgery like my mastectomy.  When I had my mastectomy, I was supposed to stay in for a minimum of 3 days but I was in there less than a day!  I'm going to have tube after tube hanging from me.  I can deal with that.  I've dealt with tubes after my mastectomy.  Kind of gross when I first had to change it but got used to it pretty quickly.  Gotta do what I gotta do and pulled up my big girl panties and did it!

When the doc was "inspecting" me, it was kind of weird.  He was lifting and measuring my ta ta's and all of God's creation was hanging out.  Oh well another - gotta do what I gotta moment!

I'm going to put a couple of questions out there because I just don't know.  I'm wondering if I'll lose any weight BECAUSE they are taking the fat from my stomach and putting it up in my boob.  BUT the doc is decreasing the existing boob.  So, how much will I lose?  I guess I'll have to wait and see.  Getting on the scale in about 2.5 months from now will probably be a better time for me. 

After I get this operation I'm going to join that gym with my friend Karen.  I think I'll be better in May and be able to go out there and just work my butt off - LITERALLY!!!
