Hello everyone, just checking in to say hello.  Hope you are doing well.

Tracey I am praying for your friend.  It is so sad to hear of somebody so young having to go through this. 

Suzie, please get better, I am so sorry about your issues.  My daughter just started the round of breathing issues.  She is also has asthma and I know how scary it is.

Cheryl, I have your CD in my office and love it.

Hope you guys are doing good.  Miss you all

Hi Mona, I have surgery Oct 28th to lift one boob that is falling south...hehe... and to put in bigger implants , I have 450's now.. and going to 550's.... to hopefully get rid of most of my rippling.

Jazzygem

Hi my dear TaTas, I know I can count on you for some prayers...I feel very stupid and quite ignorant...I have been looking forward to my surgery and getting so excited about the tummy tuck.  It has been like a light at the end of the tunnel.  I got a call from the anesthia office yesterday asking for money.  I feel SO STUPID that I didn't know they wouldn't take payments.  urgh.  So now I have to call and cancel my tummy tuck.  I can't believe how hard it has hit me, I feel like a dork but I just can't stop tears from gushing out of my eyes. sheesh I feel like a little baby.  All of these emotions going through me is killing me.  I feel like I'm losing all of my sexiness...damn cancer.  Please pray that I can stop the tears and sound like a grown up when I call and cancel my tummy tuck.

So now I would like some advice, do you think I should call my gyn and see if she can do my hysterectomy vaginally instead of abdominally?  I mean at this point I could care less about another scar.  What do y'all think??

Thanks for being here for me girls!

HUGS!

Hi Sweetie,

I replied to you on FB, but I think for women with cancer having the doc go in abdominally is really a good idea, they can get their hands in there are really look things over and wash down where the ovaries may have been in contact with parts you are leaving in---trying to get out all ovarian cells. This is just my opinion and that of my oncologist and breast surgeon, but not everyone feels this way.  I used an oncological gyn and will retain her for now on.  I kept my cervix,  um for some mojo reasons assuming I ever again have a Joe to go with my mo, which has not declined during all of this.

You are not stupid for not knowing that they required payment up front, that should have been disclosed to you.  I'd be crying too, if I thought I was going to get tucked and money got in the way.  Janet, you are not losing your sexiness.  When I met you at the RFTC you were like this radiant ball of beauty, grace, laughter, determination, and I think you are gorgeous.  Your DH looks at you with love in his eyes.  I hope you can figure this out, maybe get a tuck later, but don't think your beauty depends on a tummy tuck, it does not.

Love--Karen 

Peggio

Jazzy ~ You have NOT lost your sexiness - You are one sexy TA TA.  Sorry that the tummy tuck didn't work out for you.  I had a lapriscopic hysterectomy and the recovery is SO much easier as I think the vaginal hysterectomy is too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love ~ Peg

whippetmom

Amen....Jazzy....what Peg and Karen have said to you.....I never even NOTICED you had a tummy in Vegas!  LOL....I could not take my focus off your amazing EYES!!!!  And every time I saw you, I kept thinking, gee, I wonder if I should go back to being a brunette????

Estepp

DITTO to what all our dear sisters said so far ... and then,. I have to add...........

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I AM SO MAD FOR YOU !!!! MAD MAD MAD!

Was this tummy tuck a throw in, or was it going to be part of the breast recon? I am sorry I do not remember.

All I can say is that they should have told you up from you had to pay for it all up front. When I had my eyes done.. they told me first thing that I had to pay for that two weeks prior to the surgery.

Maybe you could take a small signature loan out at a Credit Union. They still give these pretty easily.

Again.... I am mad and crying with you... it is so hard to get let down anymore. I used to handle things with much more class than I do now. I wonder why that is,. .... I have let dh deal with two big things as of late, that I would have taken care of myself before... but now.. I know I was going to loose my "sense of class" over these two things....so I let him take the lead...

Janet, I wish I could help... I can tell you... what you probably will not believe quite yet...

Sexiness is inside.

firstmate

Jazzy -- I am so sorry for your disappointment.  But, as the others said -- You are very sexy already.  I was very envious of you in Vegas.  Hang in there!

gbusse

Jazzy my party sister...I am so sorry, I know you were so excited.  Let me tell you something, I was showing some friends our Vegas pictures and they made the comments that you are so pretty, have a beautiful face and great hair.....You are a sexy mama without the tummy tuck.....I know things are very hard, but talk to your gyn maybe he has some ideas.

I wish I was closer with a bottle of wine to cheer you up......Hey do you want me to come over????

Love ya

G.

Jazzygem

Man you all sure know how to make a girl feel SPECIAL!!!!  Thank you SO MUCH!!!  I do know that sexy is on the inside...but honestly it isn't there anymore...I just need to get it back.  I will and I will be just fine.

My ps wanted to do the tummy tuck for me and said we just need to cover the hospital costs.  Well my hospital stay is covered from my reconstruction and hysterectomy that I will be having.  I just never thought of the anesthesialogist.  I assumed since we have never been billed for anesthesia that they would roll that into our bill at the hospital where we have set up a payment plan.  Although I should have been told that I would be responsible for this up front, I still feel stupid.  The thought of the tummy tuck has kept me more positive I must say and explains a lot of my emotions right now.  I called and canceled it today and I kept it pretty much together until she told me she was sorry...yeah she was the one that should have told me about paying up front...anyway...urgh

Oh well now he will have more time to really focus on the reconstruction work he will be doing on me.  :-)

Thanks for being there for me girls!!  THE TATA SISTERHOOD ROCKS!!!!

Gisella you can come over ANYTIME!!! :-)

tkone

Jazzy,

What the heck???  Are you kidding that they asked for payment up front?? That just seems wrong.  Let me echo what everyone else has said.  You are effervescent and lovely and cancer certainly hasn't taken that away.

That being said, I have a cousin who is an anesthesiologist up here in Seattle.  Would you like me to talk to him and see if he knows anyone down there that might take a different payment plan??

Don't give up yet.  There has to be a way to get it done!

xoxo

Tracy

Jazzygem

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??  Tracy OF COURSE I would love for you to talk to your cousin!!!

SusieZeeMears

Jazzy-You are a "SEXY PINK WARRIOR SISTA"  I know how much you were looking forward to this & it might be hard to hear this,but there is a reason it's not happening now. It is so hard when we get something positive to look forward to & then as it is in our grasp-pulled away- I believe you will get it, perhaps we can do ours at the same time & chat non-stop about everything we have in common while healing!!!  As for the hysterectomy-depending on what all you are taking out..I had everything removed from the tummy-takes twice as long to heal.  Discuss it to see what the best option is for you & then make your decision, factor in your up coming jewelry sales to be ready. I think the vaginal way would be the best route now & you can heal quicker.  You shout out SEX appeal with every fiber of your wonderful self, along with many other great traits that you have & share with all. I've heard that when you look into someone's eye's-you can see the true person in front of you-YOU SHINE & give 100% to all.  Love ya & hang in there, it will all work out

Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie

My Dear TA TA SISTA'S

A friend of mine called yesterday to let me know she found out that she had Breast Cancer.  I told her about all of you & passing on this thread to her.  When I get more information, will let you know-told her we are one big family!!!  Her boyfriend found the lump 3 weeks ago. This whole month she was thinking of me & surrounded by all the PINK-then to have it herself.  We laughed about timing-being October & all & Breast Cancer Awareness.  I also informed her about our trip & she needed to go next year.  Thanx for always being there with open arms and advice & compassion to our sista's!!!  Much love to go all around!!!

Take care   Chow  XOXO Susie

Janet,  I am so sorry that you have to cancel your tuck.  But, sounds like there might be a glimmer of hope.  Hang in there, it might just work out for you.

whippetmom

Jazzy:  I don't get it...the anesthesiologist is there for the breast surgery....so it is what - an additional hour perhaps for the tummy tuck?  How much could this be?  Why don't you call the anesthesiologist's office and explain the situation...see if he will work with you on this.  You got a call from the billing office - the anesthesiologist might take an entirely different approach.  And bless Tracy for making a call on your behalf also....

Estepp

I agree.. for me to pay my Anesthesia guy here... for the extra hour.. it is 580.00$ So.... if you WERE going to make  payments ANYWAY.. and this was you decision.... put it on your credit card. DO NOT let this go for only an added 600.00 bucks sister.... ( IF this is what we are talking).. When you get all this behind you.. and get a job... you will be paying it all back faster.... GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...( PS... I want to add, DH and I are not wealthy people..We know what it means to work work work.... but if this were me Janet... after all this BC stuff... I would NOT let a want of mine go ANYMORE... if it is only 600.00... I spent my first lifetime doing that...

I think Tracy is a DOLL DOLL DOLL for offering the help...

PSS...LOL... you can also tell me to BUTT OUT...hehe... I have thick skin....:)

Jazzygem

Thanks girls for all of your help and support it means so much to me!  Like you all said sexiness is on the inside...I will find it.  I just need to stay well since my surgery is in a few days.  My youngest daughter Cat has been sick since Sat.  Today was her first day back to school.

Susie is on for tomorrow's surgery lets keep her in our prayers!  She had to go in for a ct scan today, they are thinking the hernia has gotten bigger.  Poor thing...urgh.

HUGS all round!!

kjbell

I truly hopes everything works out for you Jazzy. You are such a beautiful woman who has so much life in her! Something will come up! 

Estepp

SUSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sister,,, God be with you tomorrow... I pray...

I pray your surgery is 100% successful!

Please let us know... after you get home. I pray your daughter is AOK while her mommy is in another surgery!
