WORTH IT$8,700
I am 39 years old, 138lbs, 5'2" tall - have 2 kids delivered via c-section. Been wanting a TT for years. Surgery scheduled for next week! (Getting very excited!) I have seen so many good results on this site. I hope to also have positive results! I have a large scar (approx 8 inches) on my upper abdomen and a couple drain scars on my right side flanks from a surgery I had in 1991. PS advised to only do minimal lipo on upper ab area and no lipo on flanks due to the scars. Wants to preserve the blood flow to the skin in those areas. I am anxious about the results since we can't so as much lipo.... :-/

If u have any special tips on recovery (things I should get, etc...) please let me know! Only a few days to go!

Glad to hear you're doing well! I've been hesitant about buying a walker, but after hearing so many complain of the back pain, I think I'll look for one :) Thanks for the update. Best wishes!

I also keep reading where people with walkers say how much it helps relieve their back pain.

I have read that too. If I had to do it over again I would! Hanging in there though!

I found one at Goodwill today for $3.99 - and it looks brand new! It's just the right height for me and folds nice and flat until I need it. I'll donate it back after I'm done with it. Definitely worth 4 bucks!!!

I bet that first look will wipe away the pain and discomfort that you're feeling. Hang in there!

I am in the beginning of my 3rd po week. The first week bites. Hang in there. I keep trying to find positive things because I'm not sure about the end product. I love that I have a belly button! Hang in there!
