WORTH IT$17,000
I'm 36 years old 5'5 155 lbs. 2children 9 & 15 years of age. I am having a TT because being pregnant with my second child I gained 45lbs and have since lost it but now have a saggy yucky trophy of pregnacy. I work out religously and go to the gym regularly but no matter how much I do its hanging on. I am also having a breast lift at the same time to perk up my droopy twins from the weight gain/ loss.
I have anxious moments thinking about the surgery, but not having to wear granny panties to tuck in and hold back the trophy keeps me excited :)

Trophy! Hee hee. You look like an awesome TT candidate. And the lift should perk things up nicely too! Please do keep us posted as you begin this journey!

Hi! Congrats on scheduling your surgery! I'm in the consult phase of my journey...had on consultation based on the referral of a friend who had a BA, have two more coming up over the next two weeks. I'm really hoping to get something scheduled soon so I can rock a nice bikini by my 10th anniversary this summer. Wishing you the best! Be sure to keep us updated :)

Yep, I'm freaking out 2 months away till the big day. I couldn't sleep last night, all I could think about was "do I really want to do this", "what about infection", aughhhh. The pain and the breast lift don't worry me at all,it;s the TT;I'm so worried about infection since I had a nasty infection once before from back surgery 7 years ago that almost killed me. My PS assures me that the risk is there but being in a private clinic and going on antibiotics , plus I don't smoke that I should be ok. "Deep Breath" I can just imagine how I'm gonna be right before surgery...can you say " nervous wreck"..lol Anyone else feeling the anxiety so far from the date?

So excited for you. My TT & BA is scheduled for Jan. 5. After gaining too much weight with my 3 kids I ballooned to 234 - now I am back at 167. I am 5'8 and tired of this saggy pouch. Pain will be a distant memory years from now. We can do this!

Today was my pre- op and I got my prescriptions ( Tylenol 3 , antibiotic, and blood thinners) all I take after surgery. Paid for the remainder so no turning back now.. Actually I'm feeling pretty good all the anxiety has faded ( thanks to all who have gone through this month, reading their stories sure have helped)and now I'm just ready to get on to the recovery process.
My ps told me the surgery( breast lift, Tt with muscle repair) will take about 4 hours. I won't know the time until the 24 of January so that kinda playing on my mind as I like to have things planned and organized... Must be that Virgo! I have everything I need extra pillows for my bed , snacks, meds, paper tape for the healing process ..my mom will be playing nurse and my husband love him to death is taking 18 days off work to take the kids to their sports and be there for me.. Well I'll try and update before I go in :)

Your before photos look great can't wait to see your after ones they are going to be phenomenal. I bet some abs come out and play since it looks like you've been hitting the gym;-)
