hi everyone i've been wanting a tt for more then 3 years but i was so scared to schedule one. finally when i found this site, it gave me courage to get a tt done. reading everyones reviews and seeing before and after pictures gave me lot of support here, i must say that i love this site!

i am 26 years old, 5 ' 4", weigh about 112, mother of 2 wonderful boys ( 7 and 5) i love them to death! they mean everything to me, sometimes i feel so selfish doing this, what if something goes wrong :(. but i want to do it so badly and decided to do it after all. so i scheduled n confirmed my tt on the 13th of march. i still dont know if im doing the right thing, i feel like my husband is scared more than me lol.

So tomorrow is the day of my surgery, they will be...

so tomorrow is the day of my surgery, they will be picking me up at 8:15 am, m so excited and nervous! i just hope the pain and money is all worth it! and that everything turns out to be fine with no complication. i cant believe im doing this! i'm the type that freaks out getting a shot during her normal visit to the docs appointment. and such a major surgery i will be having on my own choice, wow cant believe it! been reading alot of people reviews the last few days kind of gives me strength and hope to go through this, dont know how i will handle the drains, just hope i dont have to look at them coming out of my skin, i think i will faint if i do. ill have my hubby to take care of me and he's already being so supportive. well i hope everything will turn out to be fine.

Sorry everyone had to delete my pictures for some...

hi Daisy, hope your recovering is going well! your result looks fabulous! after 5 years of contemplating I finally have decided to go for a TT. i live in NYC, its been very difficult trying to find a doctor. I've been reading alots of forums on this website and its very helpful. I noticed your pictures and your results are amazing. my body frame is similar to yours..I'm about 5'2 at 100lb. hopefully my results will turn out just as amazing as yours ;-). i am scheduled to see dr. stephen greenberg on thursday for an TT consultation. how did u hear of this doctor and what do u think of him. Thanks!

I haven't had the guts to examine myself. I'm squeamish. I'm my doctors visited, I opted not to look. Maybe I will at tomorrows visit. My silhouette is something to get used 2, so flat!
daisy25 18 Mar 2012

daisy25 4 Mar 2012
thanks alott for your support! i havent even done my shopping yet, just got my prescriptions filled. i become less stress when i think about how i will look after the procedure just hope its all worth it! i just wana have a nice flat tummy.
SummerGirlNYC 3 Mar 2012
i hear you, that's how i feel too...want it over and done with already but before you know it, the time will be here. Yeah, i worry about the pain also but my ps informed me that he injects pain medication before the actually cutting and that his former patients went off pain meds after the 3rd day. We will manage somehow after all we had babies, you're going to be just fine, just keep thinking about what you are going to look like afterwards. Well, i have some appetite because doctor put me on a diet and i have to loose 20lbs, try drinking protein shakes they do help...
daisy25 3 Mar 2012
thank you so much! good luck with your surgery too! i want this soo much. I'm just scared of the pain i would have to deal with after, dont want any complications. i lost my appetite already, feel like im forcing myself to eat these days ughh, im already skinny i dont want to end up losing more weight after the surgery. i just want to do this asap and be on the other side of recovery.
SummerGirlNYC 3 Mar 2012
We all have to do things for ourselves that makes us happy, we can not be happy with someone unless first we are happy with us! Stay positive, god bless and i will keep you in my prayers. Goodl Luck with your surgery and please keep us posted!
Juju2253 2 Mar 2012
