I am 30 years old. 5'4 169 lbs. After having two kids and being very over weight throughout both pregnancies. I finally started a weight loss plan and I have lost 75 lbs. I have kept it of for 4 years. But I am left with loose skin in the stomach.
I have been thinking of doing a TT for 3 years now. I have researched, looked at tons of photos, read lots of peoples reviews. About their fears and their recovery. Iam super scared and excited at the same time. I hope my recovery will not be so bad and I will be able to handle it. I am afraid of waking up in real bad pain. Wishing for the best.
I have finally decided and my surgery it tomorrow at 12pm. I have been preparing for a week. Bought all of the supplies I need. I even went out and bought a recliner to sleep in. I have read that it’s the most comfortable position and place to sleep in. Cooked, cleaned, and prepared everything.


My husband has been so supportive and encouraging. I want to have a flat tummy again. He says the scar will not bother him. He will be with me throughout the recovery.
Tomorrows the big day........

Congratulations!   Sounds like everything went well and you are doing pretty good:)

Stay on top of your pain meds, rest and go slow for the first 7-10 days.  Listen to your body and give it what it needs.  

Keep us up to date on how you are doing.

Iam 5 days post op feeling much better. Took a shower today. When i took my garments of i felt real dizzy and faint. Looked at the scars and every thing looked like it should. I am glad i had shower chair and could sit. With out a chair i would have fainted. Took it slow and everything went well. Diefinatly have some one help you for the first time.
I still can not stand straight. Still hunched over and back pain. I have muscle relaxers and that seems to help. My drains are still in and producing less and less fluid. Hope fully by next week i can stand straight and the drains can be removed.
