Well, I feel like I've waited a lifetime. Both children are adults (son just entered first year of college, daughter 25) now so I can splurge on myself. I don't remember ever wearing a bikini so I'm super excited to do that! I have 67 long days left. I'm contemplating moving the date up. I'm so ready! I can't express my appreciation of your stories! Of course there is so much joy and excitement, yet fear! Your stories help me. Everything I do in my spare time is centered on thus surgery! I'm excited!

I share in your excitement. My baby is 23 years old and I have wanted this procedure for the past 15 years. I am sooooooooooooo pleased with my results and I am just 20 DPO and still swollen. Check out my pictures. I have never worn a bikini but I will be wearing one this summer. I CANT WAIT!!!! Good Luck.

OMG!!! I'm so happy for you! That's awesome! Its nice to hear from someone with similar background. Did you lipo as well? I keep reading that the pain from lipo is almost worst that the actual TT.

Yes I had lipo with my TT. My lipo spots hurtttttt. They are the cause of most of my pain.

Trying to understand everything...

Ladies on the flat side,
Is the walker support for trying to get around? Those that didn't get the walker, do you wish that you had? Also, did anyone fear that there wasn't enough skin to close the wound after you've been cut open....when I tug and try to imagine where the incision will be, I'm just not so sure. Does the lipo help that much with the skin. Just trying to put it all together in my head.
Thanks!

So I put on my work out clothes and passed by the mirror...OMG, I can't wait for my TT date! ugh!!! I'm really not happy with what I see in the mirror. When I feel my nerves rising up and my fear trying to talk me out of the plan, I'll just look at these pictures. Can you see the difference with me sucking my tummy in so hard that I feel Like I'm going to pass out! LOL, I had to do that to stay motivated and move forward with the plan...Counting down...35 more days. Does anyone know how I can update my surgery date??? Its been moved up to May 31st.

Girl you are so funny. You made me chuckle. Yes I see the difference when you suck in your tummy. I am so glad someone else tries to stretch down the skin...I panic thinking "How is he going to stretch this down after he cuts off the bottom skin?"

When is your surgery Msmonim?
May 4, 2014
My date will be some time in the month of May. Initially it was June21st, but I have to travel back home (US) in mid July. I want as much time as possible to heal. Currently I am living and working overseas. I need to check on my son (first year in college and having too much fun). As soon as I find out I will post it. On a different note, the results to my ultra sound came back with excess air in my upper abdomen. They want me to see a gastrointestinal specialist first. I'm glad they're extra safe... But I've always had issues with gas...dairy products etc...

Safe is always best. We definitely gotta keep our eyes on those sons of ours. Mine is about to start college next semester. I will look out for your surgery date.

Hi Msmonim... if you want to update your surgery date, go to your profile page and get your review up and right beside the heading of your review (to the right of it) there's an "edit" link... click it and you can change the date there. :) Good luck on May 31st!

Thanks, I tried, but it wont save...It gives me a red circle with a line through it. At any rate I have 10 days to go (May 24th)...Deep breaths...Deep breaths...
