I am at the moment deciding if I would be a good candidate for a tt. I excercise regularly but just can't get my tummy as flat as pre pregnancy. I have a cunsultaion with Dr. Hedden on tomorrow and can't wait to hear his opinion on if he can help me achieve the results I am hoping for. This has been a long time contemplated and not something out the blue. I would love to hear from other moms who have gone through this procedure and if they feel it was truly worth it.

I'm 19 days post TT op... Can't really tell by your pic how your mum tum compares to mine but I'm happy I did mine but the recovery so far has been quite challenging.

You look great for having 3 babies! I say go for it if that will make you feel better but the trade off is the scar so make sure you feel it's worth it. And have them place it as low as humanly possible!

Thanks! I have weighed my options and done everything humanly possible on my own to get tummy flat. I finally decided that I needed a little magical help from Dr. Hedden. I feel great about my decision knowing I've tried everything under the sun lol.

I had my surgery on 11/6, getting through the first week is the hardest part. Weeks 2 and 3 you're pretty sore still but by week 4 it's like a whole another world. I would do it again even after all the pain. 100% worth it, this is the first time my tummy has looked like it did before I had children, sometimes I have trouble believing it's mine. I went back and forth for three years before I finally pulled the trigger ( I even had a BA during that time since the tummy tuck was always the surgery that scared me) As long as you have a great doctor it's something you will truly love. :)

You are giving me hope. Two weeks tomorrow and I am fighting the depression a bit and I keep thinking it's going to feel this way forever.

You look fantastic and if you need a little pick me up just look how great you are looking compared to the old tummy. I'm sure there are tough days but don't be fooled you look awesome and it's only a few days post op. Just imagine how much progress you will make in the coming weeks and months. I can't wait to have a perfectly flat tummy! Good luck

Today I has the pleasure to meet with Dr. Hedden. I will admit that I was a bit annoyed by the long wait time. I arrived at 10:45 and was not seen to almost noon. However, all the staff were professional and very nice! Dr. Hedden was very nice and what I loved most of all is he is not pushy. I can appreciate this because it says a lot about his ethics. I was unsure if wanted a full mommy makeover or just a tummytuck. I ended up deciding by end if cunsultaion that I only wanted to have a tummytuck. Dr. Hedden said I was in great shape and would not need any lipo so that was awesome news! I really appreciate his honesty and not just trying to up sell me on things I didn't need. My tummytuck is scheduled to occur in 2 weeks and I'm so very excited. It seems like I've waited for this day so long and I'm so excited to finally be able to wear a two peice bikini and just be the best me possible. I workout so hard it feels good to see the overall package come togther! Feeling very grateful and happy.
