I guess I'm considered entering into this game...
WORTH IT$8,000
I guess I'm considered entering into this game late - I'm a 51 year old mom. Don't feel 51 and certainly don't want to look it. My daughter is getting married in May and I have been putting this off for years.
I have had multiple abdominal surgeries over the years that left my tummy looking like a bad tic tac toe design. I work out: team tennis, pilates and weights, P90X, spinning, etc. Tried em all and still this belly hangs on tight. I'm looking to feel great in my clothes no matter what I put on. My husband is retiring soon and wants to travel to more beaches, etc and I want to feel good. So here's my chance to just do it!!

It's never to late, and just in time for the wedding.
How did it go? I am older than you are and am scheduled for my TT on Jan 27.
Hi Taylors, all went great. I will be 52 next month and I was a little worried about the healing process being difficult now. But, I had no problems and have been doing fine. He was surprised at how well I've been. I had a full TT and lipo on the flank areas. I think it depends on your ps and your health going in. I've been pretty active and the pilates helped me tremendously. If you have any questions, please ask. I would do it again though! Good luck.
Awesome! I'm in fantastic health and am very active, so I expect a great result. Thank you so much for your encouragement. BTW, did you have a pain pump?
My ps had me stay overnight the first night and I had a pump for that night. From there had vicodin and Valium. I only took the vicodin for 2 - 3 days. Valium was more helpful. Then used Tylenol with that. Been off pain pills after Several days. The drain sites are where is most tender. Then just feels like sore muscles. You will do great. Keep on this site. It has been invaluable in so many ways. Everyone is so supportive and not everyone in our lives want to breathe it 24/7 like we all want to. Lol.
