WORTH IT$6,200
I had my surgery one week ago today. In my opinion, TTs don't hurt at all....liposuction HURTS! Honestly, I haven't needed really anything for the TT (pain wise), but the lipo on my back was so painful! Day 3 post-op was my "worst" pain day--I just couldn't get any relief from any meds. So, I called the ps and he told me I could take Motrin and, once I did, I was a whole new woman! :)

Now, I am just "annoyed" with recovery. I'm bored, I'm so tired of needing someone with me all of the time to help with my kids (especially the baby, since I can't pick her up), and I am just ready to get back into "normal life"! :)

I hope all of the other June 15th TTers are doing ok? I know I am SO GLAD it's done, and I'm sure you all are too? I will upload pics when I can.....

brand spanking new here- I live in St. Louis, MO. Any ideas on where to get TT with lipo on abs and flanks? All consults have been $8-$13k. I see here tons of ladies at $4k-$6k. I saved the cash and now its sooo much more expensive then I thaught. I am willing to travel if it makes sense financially and it is save.

There is an option with Washington University that performs the surgery for about $6500. It would be performed by a resident under close watch of the instructor and seasoned plastic surgeons.

My surgeon was Dr. Maclin with Parkcrest Plastic Surgery. He is AWESOME!
Good luck!

Added pics today. Ugh! It's terrible to see yourself looking so bad! Today, I start the "2 week wait" until surgery.

HI Surgery Buddy, :-)
My belly is very similar to yours and our date the same. I'll post some pics soon of my belly pre-op. I understand your concern about your kids. My kids are 13 and 11 so I dont have to worry about them crawling on me anymore. You will get through it though and will figure it out as you go much like you did when you had your little people. :-) I'ts great your doing this for yourself and will be worth it in the end. I'm excited to hear how you do as we do this at the same time. Thanks for writing me.

I have an 11 month old infant who is always on me too! My mother, sister, and husband all helped me with my children and cared for me. I am 10 days post op and I have yet to carry him. After my drains were taken out, I had my mom put him on my lap so that I could at least hug him. I think I was more anxious to hold him lol He is very close to my mom too. My five year old is the perfect little nurse as well.
