I started my Journey back in February 2012. I had Lipo on my back, flanks and abdomen with a bbl. I have another review where I wrote about that journey.

Here I am continuing with my mommy makeover and starting a new journey my TT.
I'm scheduled for October 11th. My preop is on September 22. I'm excited yet really nervous. I went through alot of swelling with the lipo and I know you go through the same during a tt recovery so I'm not looking forward to "Swell Hell".

Good Luck to all who are going through their TT soon and to those recovering!

I went to my pre-op on Saturday and got my meds and instructions. Don't know the time yet they'll call me two days before with the time. I'm getting supper nervous now. Especially due to the fact that I've been getting post nasal drip and I'm afraid of getting sick. I've been taking my vitamin C and starting my arnica, vitamin K and staying away from the don'ts list. It's a little over two weeks to go. My medical clearance is this thursday hopefully everything will go fine with that.
Until next time!

I got me recliner with the power lft today and my surgery is set for Thursday at 8am! I'm excited yet very nervous I can't even eat. Went through a lil panic mode but got over it after setting everything up. I knew id be be nervous but I didn't think I'd be this bad. I've been waiting and wanting this for quite some time so here we go!

Hi Jusi! How are you feeling? How did everything go?

hi Cat, everything went fine. i'm post op day 3. the worst has been my back. im feeling drained but ive been able to just take tylenol. breathing normal was another adjustment. i rented the power lift recliner and it was the best thing i got. the service at the surgery center was 100% better than when i got lipo. i go for an appt this friday to remove the bb sutures. how are you doing?

Good to hear that you're doing well. The bb sutures don't hurt, but the removal of the drain is a killer, so prepare yourself for that. I'm doing ok. I have to go in this Sat to have my bb fixed and to have more lipo on my waist.
