WORTH IT$7,200

Discovered this site a couple of weeks ago and finally decided to start. I have 3 appts in early July with PS. I had one last year but I want to see other Dr's. I have finally saved up the money to have the tt. I am a 38 year old woman with 3 kids. Twin daughters (10) and a son (3). I've been wanting a tt ever since I had 15 pounds of baby stretch my stomach (the twins) and discovered after my C-section that I had a happy sack. I've been pleasantly plump here and there before I got married but after the twins, I have a sack I can't get rid of. I had visited a PS before my son and he said wait til you're done having children. Well, I'm done and I'm finally ready!! My son doesn't have to be lifted anymore and I have my husbands support as well as my family. I'm just scared of the pain, what I will look like, recovery and everything else in between! But the thought of not having this tire anymore makes me excited!! I've lost weight but gained some back due to a torn tendon in my ankle. I'm trying to lose another 20 pounds before the surgery. I'm hoping to have the surgery @ July 21st!

Soooo, I had 3 appts with 3 PS yesterday! Loved the first two, didn't care for the third (a woman). Choosing was really, really hard! I had my husband and sister and parents involved! It's going to cost a little more but I know it's sooo worth it! It's scheduled for two weeks from tomorrow!! I've given myself almost 3 weeks off to recover. Tuesday I go in for my pre-op, final payment, etc. I hope I've made the right decision!! I'm not having any lipo and he wrote extended abdominoplasty Anything I should be doing in these last two weeks? Any advice? Things I should eat, or do? Help!!! lol :) Will post pics soon...

Hey Lola! This site is great for tips and advice! Did your PS give you Arnica to start taking for the bruising and swelling? My TT isn't until August 17th, but can share some information I received from others on this site: (1) Take a pillow, ginger ale and crackers for the ride home from surgery. The pillow is to cushion your belly against bumps during the ride. Ginger ale clears phlem and prevents coughing; crackers are for nausea (2) Some of the ladies wore XL sweats for the ride home. Others said wearing a flowing sun dress/maxi dress was easier to get on and off and left room for the drains (3) Buy a few granny panties a few sizes larger than normal to wear (4) use an elastic exercise band
for showering. Wear it around your neck and hang your drains on it while you shower.
(5) Start taking a stool softener a few days before your surgery to help with the constipation caused by the pain medicine.

Youtube is another great resource. Many women have posted their TT video journals and Tummy tuck journeys. You actually see their progress live and in color while they talk about their experience and give tips. Good luck!

I can't believe tomorrow morning I will finally have the surgery I have been talking about since I had my twin daughter's 10 Years ago!! My last shower with my horrible stomach!! I can't wait to see my new tummy!! Looking forward to having my stomach muscles sewn back together, no more hernia!! Filled my meds, packed my bags, set the alarm!! Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonite. I took pictures but will post them later during my recovery.
