I just scheduled my TT for October 11! Gosh, that seems so far away. I am so nervous, but excited at the same time. That is such a crazy mix of emotions. I live about 2hrs from where I am having the procedure done. Will I able to ride home the same day, or should I stay in a hotel?

I have been researching and looking at before and after photos for about a month now. I hope my results are as good as what I've seen. I have been excercising 4-6x a week trying to lose some weight before the procedure so I can have the best result. I'm 5'2" and 164 pounds. I lost 30lbs. in the last year and a half but would like to lose at least 10-20 more by october. Anyone out there about my size have this done?, and how were your results. Also any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Great review?

That is super exciting! If you're interested, I'm giving away Mederma Stretch Mark therapy (which retails for $40, a box of Scaraway Silicone sheets and some pampering facial masques for any woman who sends me a pre-op and post-op video.

Here's a blog post detailing the giveaway.

Message me if you think you could swing it.

Hey! I am 5'4" and was about 160 the day I went in for surgery. I had lost about 25 lbs and was also working out 5 days a week. I am super happy with my results. Make sure that when you go in for surgery you are happy with your weight. My PS told me that I shouldn't try to lose more than 10 lbs after a tummy tuck because it can leave more loose skin. You can see my before and afters on my review. Good luck!
