Liposuction this Friday

June 27, 2004

Well I’ve finally decided there’s no way other way to get rid of the little spare tire sitting around my abdomen. This Friday I’m scheduled to have liposuction at Dr. Crabtree’s office.

Yes it’s vain and silly, but you know I have lived my entire life fat and I just want to finally get rid of this last little bit. I just haven’t been able to diet and exercise it away, so I’m gonna vacuum it away.

Today I’ve started the pre-op regimen. Dr. Crabtree gave me this bottle of surgical soap, and I’m supposed to use it every day from today until Friday. I wash my belly with the soap, I guess to help get rid of as many germs as possible prior to surgery.

Then the day before, Thursday, I have an antibiotic that I am supposed to start taking, to build up a level of it in the bloodstream. I rather like all these precautions, it makes me feel better about the surgery itself.
