I'm a 26yr old mother of 2, ages 10yrs (yes, I had him very young) & 7mos. My hubby is very supportive and I'm so grateful for that. And although he's as supportive and wonderful as he is, I'm embarrassed being around him naked. I currently weigh 144 lbs but my ideal weight is120 - I'm a short one, measuring in at only 5 feet flat! I've always dreamed of getting the TT done ever since my 10 year old came into my world. My belly is wrinkly and saggy, I have muscle loss and lots of stretch marks. I consulted with 3 physicians and my last consult is April 17th. My gut is set on the doctor I'll be seeing on 4/17 (no pun intended, ha!) because of his credentials and extensive training & experience with TT's. Not to mention his outstanding reviews all over the net. Anyway, once I meet with him I'll be able to make my final decision - then I'll be booking the surgery date for the last week of May. I'd love to network with anyone out here that can offer advice and support throughout my scary, but amazing, journey! Here are some before pictures of me. I will keep updating this post as I move along.

I find myself thinking about this surgery every day. In fact, the last few nights I've been actually having weird dreams about it. I can't wait to get this last consult out of the way so I can finally come to a sound decision and book the surgery. Here's to bikinis!

Hello LovelyLis
We have a very similar situation, I was also 16 when I had my oldest daughter (she is now 25).. I have 3 wonderful children and my stomach looks close to yours. I go in May 4th for my TT, I am excited and scared all in one. I would love to chat with you along the way, just to keep each other from going crazy. After mine is done you can see my results and pick my brain.

Hi mom of 3,
That's great! I bet you think about it every day. I know I do and I haven't even booked the actual date yet.. I do know it will be the last week of May though. And yes, let's definitely chat and keep tabs on our progress. There's no better support and understanding than women going through the exact same procedure. Our stomachs do look pretty similar so I'm anxious to see your results. I'm trying to lose another 10 lbs at least before surgery.

Hi Mom of 3! I just had my TT with vagioplasty on Mar 26th. I am also a mom of 3, having my son when I was 16, but my stomach was still nice and flat after him, it was my 6 yr old that did it!! LOL! We moved from Orlando in to California in July and PS is much more open to talk about here. Just make sure you have someone to help you!! Seriously, I thought I would be ok, but I needed help for 2 days after. Don't worry about losing weight! I weighed 170 (I'm 5'7) 30 mins prior to surgery and I'm currently 163. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! There is just too much to write!! Good luck to you!!

Thanks for the info, Jodiinsocal! About the weight, I'm not so much concerned about my size on my lower abdomen, it's more because of my upper abdomen. I just feel like if I lost 10 lbs I'd be a tad bit smaller up there and it would all come together evenly. I just worry about my upper abdomen protruding lol.. My PS will perform lipo regardless but I'll definitely bring up this concern when I see him in April.

Don't worry about your upper abdomen. They pull your tummy so tight, it's unreal!!! Who is your PS in Orlando??? I am a nurse and knew a few where I worked.

My last consult is scheduled 4/17 and it's with Dr. Armando Soto. I had my mind set on him already after his reviews, background and experience, but my final decision will be made once I have a chance to meet with him.

See at least 3! I picked the 3rd one and I am so happy I did! He is awesome, plus his surgical center in connected to the hospital, so that made me feel better! When you go there takes notes on everything, girls at the front desk, the nurses, etc. I am not familiar with that Dr. But you know when he/she is the right one.

The last week of May will be here before you know it!! I scheduled mine in January for April and I get it done this Friday. It seems like it went by so fast. My stomach looks like I got attacked by freddy krueger LOL

Good luck on your next consult!!!
