On 07 December I will be having an extended TT with MR and lipo to flanks and thighs!
As a teenager i put on a huge amount of weight and then lost it when i took up exercise. But that left me with a huge amount of stretch marks and then I had my daughter which left my stomach a mess.
I have wanted a TT since her birth, which was in the mid 80s. I must admit back then i did not know if it was possible but i wanted it, i used to dream of snipping away the excess skin and stitching it back up. As the years passed and i realised it could be done but was so expensive it remained a dream.
I can not believe after all my dreaming, wishing and tears i am week away from it becoming a reality. I would have thought i would be a mess, but i am very calm. Last week i had a cwy days where i got a bit nervous, but this week i have been so busy at work i have not had the time to really think about it (which is a blessing really).
I know that the next few months will be tough, but oh so worth it. I can not remember what my body looked like without all the hanging skin, the stretch marks but not the skin. BRING IT ON!
I have found this site a great source of information and comfort along with LYB. So i thought i would chart my journey with the hope it may help someone like others have helped me.
I will post some pictures soon.

Yesterday i went for my pre op and i was feeling...
What if they say they won't do it when my blood work comes back? What then? I am now off work in preparation for tomorrow, my partner has sorted days off! That would be a disaster, not to mention how devastated i would be.
Apart from the tickle panic i am doing ok, really thought i would be a bit more nervous, i am just so happy that i could burst :-). Excited does not cover it...
I took some before pictures the other night which i will put up soon. You will see why surgery is my only option.
I must have packed and unpacked my a dozen times and i am still sure i am forgetting something.
I have been practicing on my spirometer like a good girl but not sure my lung capacity is changing. I will keep going and hope for the best.
I am not sure if i will post tomorrow, but if not i will be back on the flat side.
To those starting the journey good luck and the ones on the other side happy healing!
Hi all, just a quick one. Well i am all checked...
Well i am all checked in and waiting to be drawn on. I must say i look rather fetching in my designer gown and tights and not forgetting my paper knickers lol.
It's not even one yet and i won't be going down before five and i am so thirsty :-(.
But it's all gonna be worth it...
Be back soon!
