7 Months Post-Op!!!

I have been dreaming of having a TT for over 12 years but it has always seemed so out of my reach. After having twin girls (weighing over 9 pounds combined) and a 9 pound son, my belly is a mess; I cannot imagine how stretched out my stomach muscles are. While my butt and legs are nice and toned, my belly looks 4 months pregnant in the mornings and 8 months pregnant by evening. I don't know what the trigger was, but a month ago I decided to just do it!
After my decision to move forward I started watching peoples TT Journeys on Youtube where some of the women mentioned the awesome support and information they received from this website. The more stories I read here the more comfortable and excited I get about having the procedure! This site is a God-send. I paid my deposit today and solidified my date…OMG! It’s actually going to happen for me! I am soooo excited! I have not had a flat stomach since my 12th grade year when I was a cheerleader (that was over 20 years ago). I try to imagine myself with a flat stomach and waistline but I just can’t get a visual in my head! I cannot wait to post before and after pics of myself.
I am 39, 5’6; 195 pounds (I swear most of this excess weight is in my midriff). I hide my belly well and people don’t believe I weigh as much as I do. I will have a TT, MR and Lipo to my waist. My surgeon uses only one drain and a pain-pump. I will also have 24/7 access to my surgeon after the procedure.
I read that many TTers rented a bed or recliner for recovery…where do I “rent” a recliner? I think a hospital bed will be too much. I will be grateful for any suggestions, ideas and tips that will make this process smoother and reduce my anxiety level. Happy healing to all and I pray for swift recoveries for everyone!

My surgery is scheduled for August 17th...just seven weeks away. I can't wait!

Surgery is 6 weeks away and I am getting anxious. The more stories I read on here, and the more before and after pictures I see...the more I wish Aug. 17th would hurry and come around. I've ordered and received a few of the supplies I'll need after the surgery (i.e. raised toilet seat, spirometer, thermometer, and alcohol wipes). Can't wait for the procedure to be done and to begin the healing process so I can go shopping! :D Good luck and happy healing to all who have crossed over to the flat side this week!
