Hi everyone! Been stalking for awhile & waiting...
WORTH IT$7,900
Hi everyone! Been stalking for awhile & waiting for a long time. My PS had a cancellation Friday March 7 so I took it! I'm obsessed with TT before & after photos. I'm so nervous. My bf travels a lot & our children are raised & out of the house. It seems I'm getting very nervous sitting here alone. I'm wondering if I made the right decision, worried about the pain & recovery. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for doing this. I had BA in 2007 & love the results. Going back to same PS. Will try to post pics. I hope I'll find a surgery buddy/buddies for Friday.
Thanks & good luck!

Wow! My stomach is really flat! We got pretty inventive to make the couch and our bed comfortable. The worst pain for me so far is getting up & down from my bed or couch. My BF isn't here a lot so I've had to get up & down quite a bit alone. I was really worried about sleeping because I've been on Ambien for 20 years now & was worried about combining pain meds with the Ambien. I've done great without the sleeping meds. I am happy with my results so far, today I'll take the dressings off & finally get to see the scar. I feel like I'm in a dream state, so very happy to rid myself of that tummy! Will post pics soon. I'm already worried about the swelling, hope it doesn't discourage me.

Day 2 Post-op
Hello everyone! It's me, the one with a FLAT belly! Yay!
I'm already bored out of my mind. Here in Indiana Spring is just around the corner. I am looking forward to just take a walk outside of this house. As far as pain goes it's worse raising to a stand & sitting down. This binder is so tight, that's rather uncomfortable too. I feel like I'm going to get bedsores from being down. But no pain no gain --right? My BF is very supportive. He has been running errands, cooking, etc. There's NO way I could have done this without him. I'm very afraid to look at the scar. I'm afraid I won't see the results right now. I'm the kind of person who needs instant gratification & even when I'm thinking logically my mind always drifts into that negative thinking/worrying. I'm hoping what I see on the outside of the CG are just lumps from the dressings underneath it. Happy healing everyone! I'll post photos in a bit.

I'm glad to hear you are doing fairly well. Try to take it easy, even though you are getting bored. Rest is the best medicine for healing. Take the time to read a book. You will not get bed sores from sitting around for a few days. Make sure to stay hydrated and watch your salt intake to help prevent water retention. Don't do too much, helps prevent some swelling. Take it easy & Happy a Healing :)

Hi JoyD!
Thanks for your reply. I think the hardest part hasn't been physically, it's been such a humbling experience for me. I'm an RN & always care for other people, never dependent on someone else to care for me. I hate to ask anyone for help. I'm here all alone all day & am going crazy. I wonder if I can try to shower by myself of should I wait until my BF comes home tonight at 7? I don't NEED to shower, just haven't had one in 6 days so I think it's time. I'm getting around the house pretty good. I really haven't been eating but I've been staying hydrated. I'm worried about eating anything with salt, but really not hungry anyway. I think I'll go check out my shower situation & conquer it. We'll see what I can come up with next! Thanks
