Can't believe I'm finally posting. I have been reading TT stories for the past like 2 months. I am a mother of 3 beautiful babies. My daughter, 10 and two boys 7 and 4. I have always been a fitness freak of some sort. I eat well on the most part. I am 5 ft 4" , 37 years old. I am 145 Ibs and hoping to drop about 5- 10 more before my up coming surgery. Which I really dont know exactly when but will be between Aug and Sept 2012. Well some of my friends and family don't see the reason why I want to get a TT but believe me, when I am naked and look myself in the mirror I see about 50 reasons why so thus all that matters. I have a smallish frame and once I tuck my tummy in like I have done of the past gazillion years you really would not ever think I have a problem. Thus the thing "I AM TIRED OF TUCKING MY TUMMY IN" Its a full time job and I keep wondering "HOW LONG WILL I KEEP THIS UP", its so hard and discouraging sometimes especially if you over eat a little. To cut a long story short, I ran into a lady that had a very flat tummy and i commented on it, she was very open with me and told me that she had a TT done by this particular PS. I was immediately interested (a TT has always been on the back of my mind) so she gave me the details, I called and got an appointment with that same PS. I really liked the PS but was not really impressed with the ladies handling the financials, they seemed to be too impatient and too much about the money. Anyway, I could not get a date that I wanted for the procedure...bad timing.. the PS and anesthesiologist, not sure of the spelling... well they take their vacations around June and July so obviously most of August is already booked....dang. I now have it scheduled for Sept 12 but they said to keep calling to see if I can get a mid August date. I am so excited and don't really wanna dragged it till September so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I will post some pics of me now as I start my journey **once I figure out how to!!*** Or and by the way, I am getting a full TT, little lipo on the flanks and hernia repair.

So, I have been reading more and more stories and i am truely encouraged. I am seeing a 2nd PS on monday june 18th, I have seen his work on his website and have been in touch with one of his clients and I think if he has a sooner date I will go with him. My cousin's wedding is coming up July 21 so not sure if I should wait till after but I am so excited I think if this PS has a date available before the wedding I will go for it. Suspence is killing me. What do you all think????
