One year

WORTH IT$8,200
In 6 days it will be one year since had my TT. All I can say is it went by FAST. After about 5 months I basically forgot I had one expect the scars in the mirror and the bloating after eating that I am now sure happened before I had the TT as well but my big belly hid it from me! I am still 100% glad I did it. Even though I do not have the tightness and the lipo look I am glad I did not do lipo because I look natural and flat, exactly what I wanted. I am not happy with the scar, the side where I had a lot of spitting stitches is very wide, but since I still have a good amount of stretch marks left I do not care as much. I am 123 pounds today, 5 pounds more then surgery weight. My belly is still numb between my belly button and my pelivic. Would I do it again? YES.

Dr G is a perfectionist. Exactly what you want in a PS. He will not try to sell you on things you do not need, and he is very concerned with patient safety. I thought I needed muscle repair, he told me I didn't and he was right. Even the nurses in the hospital told me some of them do not enjoy working with him in surgery because he is SO particular on doing things right that it can take more time! Other nurses in recovery said he is their favorite doc because he is so responsive. He spent a lot of time with me before and answered all my questions. He has been very responsive with all questions I had after. I am only 5 days post op and I am thrilled with my TT already! His office staff is very friendly and helpful!

I think you look great hun :) .... I found it particularly interesting as my ps has told me the same things about skin above my belly button and scar placement ... Still digesting the information and haven't set a date yet, so your story has been really helpful xx

11 months, gained 8 pounds since TT - New pics

My Mom died unexpectedly a few months ago and I am having a very hard time with my diet. I have gained 8 pounds since the TT and it shows. I would suggest not having this done until you are at the weight you will most likely be. Do not get so skinny that it will be hard to maintain. I am still glad I did it and it looks way better but its not what it was before the 8 pounds, its not as tight and is much more pudgy looking now, though still better. I did nothing as far as scar treatment, and I had tons of spitting stitches at about 3-4 months after which opened my scar and widened it a lot on my left side. I moved out of state so I have not been able to see my old PS. Overall still glad I did it, but sad the weight gain is for sure effecting results. I did not have MR though, this might have something to do with it.
