Hi! I am 26 years old, 5’2 and 175 pounds. I really want an extended TT but I’m afraid it could be fatal for me. I say this because after I gave birth to my second child (cesarean section) my uterus hemorrhaged and I almost died so my doctor had to perform a partial hysterectomy and remove my uterus. This scares me so badly when considering a TT procedure but I want one. Do you think it would be a safe procedure for me? Im not a smoker and I do plan to lose atleast 15-20 more pounds before hand.
