WORTH IT
I have researched, interviewed, and decided on my TT, MR, and lipo of the flanks for a about a year. I have 2 kids, and have NEVER had a flat stomach...even when I was 125lbs (that was a LONGGGG time ago lol). Having a TT has always been on my wish list, and now it's time to do something just for me. It took a while for hubby to get on board, but he very supportive. I will take some before/after pics after my surgery.

I can't believe this time has come for my TT, MR, and lipo of the flanks. I am soooo anxious, nervous, excited, and ready to get to the flat side! I'm praying for a sucessful, and uneventful surgery. Also wishing my Realself support sisters the same.

How was it can you share with me what to expect for down time what to expect for pain. I'm 5 days before
December 15, 2016
I am 5 days away from
My tt vertical and I'm so nervous scared for the pain can you guys share what to expect is the pain bearable and can I drive 8 days later and go back to work

So excited for you! I'll be honest and say the pain was tough the first 1.5-2 weeks. I just stopped taking my pain meds a couple of days ago. I will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. Everyone is different, as some women I've talked to haven't taken any pain meds, and are fine within a few days post-op. Regardless, I personally think 8 days post op driving and working is pushing it. Talk to your PS about that. You will do great, so try not to worry!

How bad is the pain. I mean I am so worried today I took a zanax is the pain tolerable at all.

You were so right. I stopped focusing on pain and I am healing. Have one little area that we're working on. All in all it was not bad.

Well, I have finally made it to the flat side!!!! It hasn't even been a full week, and this has been a hell of a journey. I will say i am pleased with my results so far (however I've learned that it takes a while to see your true results)
I am truly convinced that all the women that have posted right after surgery, without pain, and/or are no longer taking meds within a week.....are a Superheros. This [RS bleep] hurts. Plain and simple. No way to mentally prepare for it. You just can't.
This week has been a bit of a blur for me, but I do feel much better. I'll try to do a better job of posting now. RealSelf has been a huge help in my research, pre/post Op recovery!!! My hope is that my story can help some else. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask ??

This is so weird I know. I cannot find anything.
Have you had your tt yet. I did 9 days ago its been a slow process.
December 14, 2016
You look amazing already
December 31, 2016
You look really good. I'm 9 days out and it's been difficult. I ow have a stress area in my t little skin area healing slow. Doc had to clean it. I'm now in antibiotics and I'm anxious not doing too great emotionally and have no strength. I have to go back to work Tuesday I'm scared. I lay around trying to slouch the abdomen are to help with the stress on the T. I'm so tired of this.

Do you have any updated pictures of your scar/incision? And, is the tt pain equivalent to a c section?
We are all going to be thinking about you and anxiously waiting to hear how everything goes.
