Hi there-
I exercise 5 days a week and eat well and really take care of my body. And I like all that. But- no matter how hard I worked, some areas of my body left something to be desired, in my mind.
I have checked out various plastic surgery options and gotten info. And prayed and avoided and had anxiety, etc. This late Feb. I found a procedure that had the right safety paramenters for me and that could do what I wanted done.
And-- Friday, March 20 was surgery day. I practiced my tools like crazy, and exposed myself to videos of the surgery to desensitize, etc.
On Friday morning, I went in and thought I was doing OK. No obsessing and doubting. My BP was a bit high for me, but the Medical Assistant said that was totally normal. I tried to talk to the people and keep my mind from running away with itself, as it was starting to feel very real. The MA told me to go to the bathroom before and there I felt scared. Like-- wow do I want to back out now? And I talked to myself, said a prayer, went to the OR and laid on the table and trusted the people.
I am about 14 hours post-op and I am flying high. I did something for myself to get the results that I have desired for a long time. And I didn't let the anxiety win !!
I did it!!
