Pre-Procedure Anxiety

As it gets closer to the procedure, I start to have anxiety.  Am I doing the right thing? Do I really need to do this again?  Should I really be spending the money? Am I prepared to handle the pain again. The more I looked at the pictures I posted last time, the more I started to doubt the need.  Maybe my stomach wasn't as bad as I thought.  Maybe I was being too critical of myself. Then, I decided to try on the new jeans that I bought.  The are the same brand, same style, same wash and same size that I had been wearing previous and am now unable to do so. This was enough to assure myself that I was doing the right thing! If that doesn't make a girl want to have the fat sucked out of her, I don't know what else would!  I'm now GREATLY looking forward to Wednesday! As always, more to come :]

Appointment February 1st!

I've made my appointment to have my abdomen done a second time. The focal points are .. I'm hoping that my stomach will be less giggly and the skin will tighten even more! They are going to do the entire abdomen again and around my midsection through the back if that makes any sense.  I'm hope to be going down a size with the garment in hopes that the skin will attach more evenly this time.  I told the doctor I didn't care if my stretch marks got closer and crinkled some.  No one but my boyfriend sees them and he doesn't understand why I'm doing this a second time anyway - so I doubt he's going to be overly concerned if my stretch marks change slightly.  I wish there was a way to have them removed with laser resurfacing but two plastic surgeons told me that it wouldn't really help so I'm inclined to believe them. Of course I'll be posting plenty more pictures in the upcoming weeks!! Stay tuned :]

Coming up on 7 months!

At the end of this month, it will be seven months since I had the original procedure done on my abdomen.  I'm still not happy with the way it looks, so I have scheduled a consult on Wednesday to discuss doing the area again.  I'm optimistic that there will be great improvement since the bulk of the issues are gone and now it's just doing more aesthetics if you will.  I'll keep yo posted!
