1 Year since my extended TT
Shooo , it has been a journey to say the least , thinking back to last year this time I was laying in the clinic drugged and sore but with the world of relief that my muffin top was finally gone . A year later and I have no regrets. I am slowly getting my weight down and my body toned. The pain has completely gone but I still swell a little every now and then especially when I have been on my feet all day . My TT has given me back my freedom and confidence to be me . I love being able to wear sexy clothes again and with my weight loss of more than 20kgs my clothes are a lot smaller. I am looking forward to summer here in SA and have bought 2 new 2 piece bikinis : ) I have noticeable scarring but it does not bother me at all. My scarring is a small price to pay to not have my muffin top anymore : ) I would much rather have my scar than 3.4kgs of extra skin and fat hangin over my hips . OH yes and I got a belly ring : ) My ever so supportive man has been my pillar of strength and has been so so supportive through this process. My 7 year old has been quite excited to tell random people that "did you know the doctor cut all my mummys fat off" ha ha ha. Its good to look and feel sexy and healthy for my hubby and its awesome to be fit and healthy and be able to run around after my son : ) All in all happy, happy and happy. Much Love from SA ,...

Hi , I am 2 months P/O and loving my results. I still have swell hell in the evenings as you can see by my latest 2 month P/O pictures. I bought a 2 piece bikini for the first time in 10 years and have worn it to the beach the other day . It was an awesome feeling of freedom. I am however not happy with my thighs and need to loose some more weight and tone.
I am on annual leave from work and go back to work next Monday. I have enjoyed being home and having the oppurtunity to rest whenever I needed to. I still have some pain around my BB . As far as my numb spots go , well they are regaining feeling little by little. My fiance is loving the new me too , not that he complained about the old tummy. I still rely on my elastic waist support as it helps with the occasinal paina and most definitly reduces my swelling.
Christmas and New Year have been lovely and I have been nibbling way to much. I plan to get into a serious exercise plan as of next week. I have been following our fellow friends on Real Self and I feel so so sad for a few ladies that have not had a good experience. My advise is to visit a few Plastic Surgoens before making your final decision on a surgoen. Do background checks too. If something does not feel or sound right is probably is not. I am very pleased with my surgoen. I am lucky as South Africa has a generally good reputation for successful plastic surgery. I have been looking at what patients pay overseas and its very expensive when exchanged into Rands. My other advice would be to make certain that you do not need an extended TT as I did. I planned only a hip to hip or standard TT but the surgoen that I chose was not willing to do that. He was convinced that I needed an extended TT and would not have operated on me if I did not take his advice as he said I would be very dissapointed with my results. He said with me only having a hip to hip or standard TT it would look as if I had wings on my sides. The reason that I mention this to you is because on alot of the patients on here that are dissapointed with their results , it looks as though the side skin has been pulled to the front and stitched into the standard TT wound. I am by no means a proffessional at this and this is just my opinion.....
I wish you all happy healing and the best of luck to all considering a TT . It is the best gift you could give yourself. I would do it all over again in the blink of an eye , it has been a truely rewarding experience for me and my fiance.
