Default Getting my Belt Lipectomy in 2 hours - Before photo's attached

Hi Everyone,

I'mgoing in to have my belt lipectomy and lipo done in an hour or so. Getting really nervous...but that is to be expected I guess. Here are some before pictures as promised. I'll try (depending how I feel) to post more as I heal. Thanks for all of your support and info.

Jim

Default Tanti Auguri in boca lupa.

Jim,
This is wonderful and you will be happy for doing it. The title means in Italiano "many good wishes" (tanti auguri) and "In the mouth of the wolf"(in boca lupa) which really means me strong and couragous. Here in Italy I heard this often as I went through my operations.
All the best and will be waiting to hear how you are doing.
