I had my first son at age 17, at 20 I had twins, my belly is saggy and though I have never gained weight,I'm very self conscious about my belly. It's been thinking about a TT for many years, but there was always other priorities. Finally after 22 years, my TT is scheduled for July 5th in New haven, CT. I trust my doctor 100% and I'm confident he'll do a great job. I'll post the before pics before surgery. I'm so excited!

Two days after surgery, I', feeling a lot better, though I'm still taking all the medicines for pain and muscle spasms. I'eating just salads, jelly, crackers and lots of fluid. My left drain has only yellow fluid no more blood. I can walk better and more straight too. Yesterday a had a call from the hospital asking how I was feeling and after that the doctor called too. I have an appointment on Tuesday. I'll keep you all post it, so far I'm feeling good. thank u all. I haven't seen my belly yet so I don;t know if has been worth it but I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

So sorry you had a bad night! Cant wait to see your after pics once you are feeling better. Hang in there from what I read it seems to get better every day!

Yes, you're right, everyday gets better and better, though it's been only 3 days I can feel the difference, I can get up with a lot less pain. No BM yet, I'm taking the stool softener but, nothing yet. So far I've been able to get up, walk more straight and wash myself with a washcloth, I try to walk the most I can. The drains still have some fuid but it's more clrear now. I'm taking the the antibiotics and the valium, I only take the oxicodone at night, and I sleep 5 hours in a row. I'll keep you guys posted. Thank u all!

Hello! I had my first doctor appointment after surgery. I'm feeling great! the PA was impressed about how well I feel and look, I'm only taking pain meds during the night. I still have the drains, next week they might come off on my next appointment. When I saw my belly I couldn't help but cry of happiness, my husband was with me and he could not hold his tears either. He said that now he really understand how important was this for me. I can't believe how flat my tummy looks! and the PA said I'm still very swollen! :) I can't wait to see after! here are some after pics.

Thank you Ana! Happiness is overflowing from every pore of my body right now! Well, you know how it feels! :) thank you for your support! How are u feeling?

Morning :). I'm doing good. Lately restuarant food is making me swell. I think it's the sodium. So I avoid it. Ps said i don't have to wear the CG anymore but when I swell I wear it. This Friday will be 16 wks for me.

yeah! I imagined that, I try to not eat out very often any ways, though I love it, it is not the best option for a healthy life. when were u able to exercise? I guess it's different for every case right? I'll ask my doc next week. i want to be active again so bad. how does the scar look after 16 weeks? Keep it up girl! :)

Treadmill after 2 months I think. I forgot to ask about Ab exercises. He hadn't cleared me yet. I gotta call him and find out. Scar looks really good, he said "amazing". I posted some side shots the other day. Looks really light.

Wow girl you look great! You don't even look swollen.
July 11, 2012
Thank you! I know! It's the best decision I have ever made in a long time! Totally worth it already! And I know I'm not even half way through! :) thanks
