Thanks Carrie...I can't wait to meet all the Alberta people and anyone else that wants to come too.

I loved the broccoli slaw by the way...next time I will chop up the broccoli a little more though.......mixed it with the regular coleslaw mixture, some green onions and then some coleslaw dressing......mmmmmm....good.

Lisa.. is the plastic surgeon to get rid of the scars from the other surgeon? its too bad you have to go through surgery twice for that! But will no doubt be worth it!

PS.. we make a broccoli salad that has broccoli, cauliflower (both chopped very fine), a little mayo & splenda, and raisins.. sounds nasty .. it took me a lONG TIME to even TRY it.. but it really does taste good..

Jen, the plastic surgeon is for the boobies...lift and/or reduction. The surgeon is to do the panni.

In Canada.....its quite different, but the panni is covered post-op without any issues and the boob lift/reduction is "easier" to get coverage for under our medical. A plastic surgeon is typically out of pocket and very expensive.

So, really my tummy is cut already from the bottom of my ribcage to my bellybutton, so he will recut that incision and then down to the pubic line and then hip to hip.

The salad sounds good.....will try that too....I love caulifllower.

I have the anchor cut, sweetie. To not have the panni and to have the tight muscles underneath is worth it. I haven't worn a 2 piece swimsuit since I was 4, so I don't think I will try a 2 piece anytime soon, so who cares about he scar? I have a tight tummy and the scar is worth it
