Hello, I am 42 years old, married with four wonderful children. I have wanted a tt for the last 10 years. I have just scheduled my surgery for June of 2012. I interviewed my last PS yesterday and chose him almost immediately following my interview. I have researched this particular PS for about a year along with several others. I have read every blog there is out there. To say the least, I have put a lot of time in researching doctors as well as the pros and cons, techniques and so forth.

There aren't any words to describe my feelings when I decided to act upon my desire. I work out and I have a fairly healthy diet. Upon having my last child a few years ago, I was left with a stomach, I absolutely cannot get rid of. In my previous pregnancies, I have always been able to lose the weight.

I have lost 30 pounds since having My last baby which puts me at about 160lbs. I amp looking to lose at least another 20 pounds before my procedure. Upon discovering RealTalk, and reading so many personal journeys, I decided to also write about my journey. To those of you who have included their journey, I say thank you, what a wealth of knowledge. I am grateful. I can't wait to finally have my tt in June. Talk to you all soon!

Good for you. We deserve some 'selfish' time. Otherwise we are just tracking our kids to be martyrs. I just had mine on the 5 th and I so wish I had found this site before to ease some of my doubts and fears. You are ahead of the game I that area ;-). I did the TT and lipo too and have been SHOCKED that the lipo has been worse than the TT. Good work on finding a dr you like just be prepared to start second guessing yourself at some point. My ps is one I had used 2 times before and about 4 days before started thinking I made the wrong decision. Funny now... Not so much then:-). Good luck over the next few months and way to go rewarding yourself!!!
