WORTH IT
Well I have 5 weeks until my tt. Time has slowed down. :( I will Post Pics soon. A little about me..... I am 31 yrs old in the army with 3 girls and 1 boy. My step daughter is 17, then there is 10,8 and my little boy is 5. I have wanted this procedure for soooo long but was scared about the scar. But after I got to my new unit and Always hearing ppl telling me Im fat but they dont understand that I had 3 nine pound babies and I was 98 lbs before. It is a struggle to pass my weigh and tape. I know if I want to continue being in the army I need to take care of myself first. I have always put others before me. I am sooo ready and am so impatient. My pre op is May 29. I will keep everyone updates on my progress as it come.

Wow, I know what you mean about big babies. My babies were 8.3, 9.2 and the last one was 11.4 and my belly looks just like you. I can't wait for a new me as well. I feel exactly how you feel. Always putting others right before me, but I decided that 2013 it was all about me. Are you doing your surgery in South Korea? Good luck with your transformation and keep us posted.

I had 2 big babies too. One was 9 lbs 12 ounces and the other was 8 pounds 5 ounces. So my before pics are very similar to yours. Welcome here and your countdown is on!!

I recommend more pillows ! I slept on a leg wedge (37 degrees) and then a pillow under my legs. It was less pulling. I also don't think I walked hunched over after four days. I did step gingerly :). My dr had very small silicon band aids the entire length of my scar. I'm 5.2 weeks and I peeked under the band aids today. I think it's an amazing scar. It should be invisible in no time. I have two "snake bitr size" areas from the drain tubes. Butterfly Chica, Good idea about the vitamins. I haven't had any since my surgery so with that reminder I'm starting today! The only other thing I have is scar cream to rub in twice a day. I don't know where to get this gel except my dr...bioCorneum scar supervision. Good luck and we are all pulling for you!!

26 days and counting. Oh how time is going fast yet slow at the same time. Ready for my pre op to get here. Last time I saw my doctor I was so happy he said yes to the procedure that I didn't even get to ask him the important questions I wanted to. I have so many now and want to ask him. I'm so impatient and excited. Just a few more days. whooosaaaa... lol
May 11, 2013
Woo hoo! So excited for you!! Make sure you write down all of your questions and of course take it with you!! :-)

So I cant stop looking at pics of everyones tt....
So I cant stop looking at pics of everyones tt. Its like an addiction and I want mine so back..... but.. My doctor said he doesnt have lipo tools here in korea and that I would need it sooo i can wait till i get back to the states and have it done all at once or he could just do the tt here. I have been wanting this for so long so no doubt i am gonna have it done here. My question is how would I look without lipo? Will it still look good? I wish I knew what my stomach would look like without the lipo. Will I be making a mistake or not? someone please help. sooo confused.
