Okay so this hernia surgery is no freaking joke, this is the most excruciating pain I have ever felt, the muscle repair was extensive or at least it feels as though it was. I cannot move an inch with out horrendous pain....but I do love these, wish I had these for my lipo recovery. I think if the TT is pain like this it is out of the question!!!! Lol

Surgery messes with your system. It will get better :) Plus you have probably been in much pain to eat or drink much.

TT consult

User Avatar

Okay, we met today and he reviewed the entire procedure and recovery. I am not ready! I hate that because it does save about 1k dollars by combining the two but I told myself I will just think it over because I have to be ready for something like this and I know myself the savings is not worth it if my heart is not in it. Would be different if we didnt have so much planned this year vacation wise! Gonna think on it a few weeks though

Also consider that $1000 is a lot, but not doing the TT at all saves you quite a lot; so if you end up not needing the TT because you're happy with your results, then you've saved that money.

I am happy with my results I just notice the skin when I sit, but eventually would like that gone! Just maybe not right now I just don't feel ready for such an undertaking!

I understand :).  A mini TT isn't as big a deal as a full TT, but it's still a bigger deal than Smart Lipo!

If I could get away with a mini, I would do it but my extra skin goes hip to hip and I would want my stretch marks gone. Just going to wait till next year so I can prepare for it, having the hernia surgery this Friday

You look great! I'm confused why you need a TT? I am considering smart lipo also. My body looks like yours before you had the lipo done. I had one PS recommend smart lipo and another one recommend a TT. So I am just confused at this point!

I was informed ahead of time that smart lipo alone would not give me what I wanted, I really needed lipo with TT, I chose to do the smart lipo then heal and do TT once I saw my results and healed I do not regret it at all. I love my results, I just have extra skin when I sit down its not visible at all when I am standing. Its fom having two kids c sections and I gained 84 lbs with each! I will do it in 2016 when I can take the time off for proper healing

I am glad I did it in phases, although it is a little more expensive that way it is how I could process it, I don't handle sedation very well at all....and it is very hard for me to take off work longer than a week at a time

Your extra skin doesn't show at all now when you do the dive photo pose. That's a biggie for me! If SmartLipo could get rid of that I think I'd be pleased, but maybe not. LOL

Arnica gel at walmart

User Avatar

A lot of you have asked about this, it was amazing I used it with the arnica pills as directed. The gel I used every morning and night. It dries quickly and is not sticky so can put your CG on right away. Hope it helps some of you!

I forgot to ask when you had your revision did they use the same scars as he did the first time or did he make new incisions?

For my revision he used the same scars as the 1st time.

He used the same but we only had to go thru two since we were just doing two small areas
