I am a mother of 5 ....13,11,9,8,2 . I have been wanting a TT since I had my last baby! I was a teen mom so I never got to enjoy my body it's been destroyed since then lol So any one who would want one must understand how I feel about it.

It's some kind of medicine that they inject right into the abdomen before closing everything back up. It's suppose to numb it for like 72 hours ....I guess something like a pain pump minus the pump and all that.
