WORTH IT$8,000
I am 44 years old ( will be 45 in a few weeks) married 23 years and have 3 children, ages 20, 17, and 11. I am 140 lbs and happy at my weight, but the stretched skin I have from having children really bothers me. I've thought about having a tt for years and am finally getting one in a month! I found out through my conceltation with the PS that I have a hernia, so he will take care of that as well. I wonder if the recovery will be longer? has anyone had a tt with no drains? I've read up on this type of tt, and it sounds like it would be better? I'm nervous and excited! :) the countdown begins!!

I'm having a hernia fixed as well - and I don't think this will take any additional time - as my doc didn't really say...Thanks to Kimmers25 for posting these helpful links! I'm a December TT as well!
look forward to hearing more from you!

Only 9 more days until my tt and hernia surgery! I am excited!! I have my scripts. I have ondanesetron for nausea, ciproflaxacin, which I start the day before, which is a antibitic, and oxycodone for pain, then I still have to go pick up my last script which is a soap/cleanser to use the day before and morning of surgery. Time is going so fast! I look foward to being off of work atleast 2 weeks. My hubby will be able to help me 4 days, then he'll go back to work. My mom will come and help out as well. I've only told very few people about the tt, most people think I'm just getting the hernia repair. I am so excited to see the results!
Welcome to the Tummy Tuckers! Now get ready for the new you to make an appearance. This is a nice holiday gift to yourself:) I look forward to following your journey and reading your posts.
I have included a link to some answers from our RealSelf doctors on the recovery time with both procedures. Hope this helps. I have also included a link with information about the process with or without drains.
I would love to hear how you found RealSelf and your doctor.
