WORTH IT$8,400
Hello ladies. Like everyone else, I've been on this site DAILY since I found it. I'm 30 years old and have been wanting a TT since I had my first daughter(I have 2 now)I've waited this long (10 yrs) because I knew I wanted to have another child and needed to save up for it. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the day I no longer have to worry about this horrible belly. It's so bad I don't even let my husband see me without a shirt on! I am healthy, don't have any weight issues. I work out at least 3 times a week BUT as you all know NO amount of excercises will help with tummy! I'M SICK of it. I want to start enjoying myself again. My husband is supportive. I already had my consult. Dr seemed ok. He seemed a little rushed, wish I had more time with him. He is one of the best in the island. My worry is that I go through with it and am still not happy with the result. Surgeon said he would not be able to remove all of my stretch marks. Which is a huge concern for me. I would like to be able to wear a 2 piece bikini after spending $8,400 for this procedure. And I'm just scared of the recovery process. I've NEVER had any surgery. I had a natural delivery for both my girls and was out of the hosp the next day! My surgery is tentatively scheduled for 7/10/13. I thank all of you for sharing your stories it really helps!!!!

Ok so I scheduled a 2nd consult with the dr I'm planning on going with. So on May 14th I will make my final decision if I will go with this doc or just wait till I move back to Florida next year. I want to make sure I'm comfortable with the doc I choose. I will post a pic soon of this ooooggglllyyy belly! Lol. Any signs of what to look out for or questions to ask the doc??????? Thanks ladies!

Anyone opted out for not having the MR? I would like to opt out. I don't think I need it, but not sure. The ladies that have opted out seem like the recovery process has been a breeze? Any advice?????
