WORTH IT$14,020

I've been lurking on this site for well over 2 years. I had plans to have a full TT with an arm lift in June of 2010 but freaked myself out and cx the procedure. I have now decided to do it and have my pre-op this Friday and the surgery is scheduled for Dec.7th.

I have 3 boys that are 13, 5, & 4. I had Gastric Bypass over 10 yrs. ago and wanted the TT back then after my 1st baby but it didn't bother me enough to spend the money or go through with a surgery. I then got married again and had my next 2 sons and boy did they do a number on my tummy!! My arms have always been on the larger side but now the hanging skin is embarrassing. I'd much rather have a scar. I'm currently 190# & 5'6". Anyway, I just wanted to put my details up and I will be posting before & after photos. I know how much this site has helped to inform me and I hope to do the same for others.

How good will it feel to look back at them though when you have your new tummy!!! I've kept mine so that when or if I tell anyone and they say I shouldn't of done it I can show them and say " oh yeh you'd like to carry that around would you!"

Oh I know! Everyone that I do tell (which is very few) tell me I don't look like I need it. Maybe I hide it well but you can only hide so much and I'm sick of wearing Spanx up to my neck..lol

Hi Junebug. You need to get a lot of stuff before your procedures. Something that I found very helpful are tank tops that have the built-in shelf bra. You aren't going to be able to put your arma above your head for a while, and bras will not be comfortable. But the tank tops you can put on feet first, and just pull them up. You'll need baby wipes and dry shampoo/conditioner for while you have your drains, and can't shower yet. (the dry shampoo/conditioner are at Wal-Mart). Make sure you have lots of liquids like juice and soup. Also, you'll need pillows to prop yourself in the correct position. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. :o)

Thanks! That's a good idea about the tank tops.
