Top ten reasons to get a TT: 1. Look better 2....

Top ten reasons to get a TT:
1. Look better
2. feel more confident
3. better wardrobe choices
4. I deserve it after 30 years of marriage and 3 kids
5. get rid of those ugly stretch marks
6. Look sexier at 27 than I did at 47
7. motivation to stay fit
8. continue to wear a bikini into my 60's
9. lose inhibitions
10. get ready to retire to the beach!!

I'm like many, having kids messed up my bod, but it really got bad in my 40's I could no longer suck it in and hide it, it was starting to sag :( My husband was very supportive of my decision both financially and emotionally so it has be a great journey for me.

I'm 47, weigh 168 pounds and am 5 foot 10. I have always been active, not necessarily skinny, but fit, in fact in my 40's I have gotten super fit by doing Zumba and other group classes at my gym. My social life revolves around my friends at the gym, which keeps me going back!

My experience with Plastic surgery has been great. I had a BA in March and my TT in October. There has been ups and downs but I have not had many side effects, including swell hell yet, fingers crossed...

I am so glad I found Real Self, i found out so many things I would have freaked out about if I had to figure it out myself, not to mention all the phone calls to the PS :) thanks my friends for your input to this site, it is so incredibly helpful!

Congrats. You look fantastic at PO day #4. I'm glad that you finally got the TT. Now you can enjoy your new body for the rest of your life. I had my TT on Oct. 19. When was your TT? I also thought long and hard about whether to go through the pain and risk of a TT, but I'm very happy that I did it. Can't wait to see how your body changes in the next several weeks. All the best to you.

I had my surgery Oct 15th, the drain was taken out on the 22nd, almost wish that it had stayed in, I've swelled a lot since it came out. The pain wasn't really that bad, I was more upset by the nausea that the pain meds caused.

I've had swelling in the past 4 days since my drains came out too. You can see it clearly in my profile pictures. Is your swelling worse as the day goes on. In the morning, I feel pretty good and can walk completely upright and normal. But by 6 PM, I have tightness and pulling in my lower abdomen, especially over the incision area. I am wearing my binder or compression garment 24/7. I am 4 days behind you in the recovery. Is your waist smaller than before surgery? I started with a waist of 29.5 inches. Today, I'm still at 30.5 inches. Can't wait for the swelling to go down.

I haven't measured myself before or after. I don't feel too much swelling, except on top of my pubic bone, it feels and looks awful! My best asset is that I have a lot of patience so I'm waiting for the final result and looking forward to it. We are headed to the beach 4 and a half months after my surgery so am hoping it will look great by then :O)

Holy Hell, 1st day of work was rough! The commute was the worst, i don't know how you girls who have to travel 3 hours back and forth to appointments do it! my 45 minutes there and 1.15 hours back about killed me! my muscles spasmed and tensed most of the way. Funny thing is that my swelling is better than yesterday.......
