I have being considering a TT for quite some years...

I have being considering a TT for quite some years now but always made excuses not to do it, weather it was money , can't get time off of work or a planned holiday around the corner.
I'm 50 years old and 5 ft tall and currently sitting at 55kg. I had two emergency c sections in my twenties and was left with the apron that hangs over your undies. With my weight fluctuation of the years I have also been left with lose skin.
I have my first consult with a PS on 22 June to get a professional opinion. Although I will be waiting at least 11 months before I actually have the procedure. I'm at at the healthiest I have being in years physical and emotional so I want to be sure I can keep weight in this healthy range.
Wish me luck ????

Why are you waiting 11 months for the procedure? I do wish you luck. I have to wait 2 months are that's hard!!

After finding out how much the procedure is and the time I will be spending in a private hospital I decided to take out health insurance and in Australia you need to be in a health fund for 12 months before you can make a claim. I took my insurance out on 2-5-16.

Thanks for following my journey but i will warn you its going to be a long one. I wont be having the operation till next May2017, this has to do with my private health cover. To be coved for elective surgery i need to have been in my private health cover for 12months and i only took it out may 2nd 2016, but this is a good thing cause it will give me time to save the $17000.00 i need to pay out of pocket and im challenging myself to stay at the weight im now 55kg (120lbs) and also to get as strong and healthy as possible. The PS said not to loose any more weight but just keeping here is an effort in it self. I have always been a big fluctuater with my weight. So i might share my progress with my health and weight also how im going with saving.. feels like it's going to be a long hall.....but feeling positive.
Let me know how you go as well.

Thank you. I'm looking for affordable & reputable dr. I haven't even had my 1st consult yet to see if I'm a candidate for what I want, tt w/fat transfer to breasts. I was hoping to give myself birthday present around Nov. This year. We'll see.

So far all i can suggest is that you go have your first consult so you know exactly what you are up for because its not always what you think, the doctor may suggest you go with other procedures. Good luck and keep me up to date with your progress. November is not far away!!!

Insight to me..

After reading a lot of other people's stories, and I mean a lot..I enjoy seeing the before and after photos so I thought I would let you in on what I have done to lead up to the decision I made to have a tummy tuck. The before photos were of me August 2015 , weighing in at about 70kg that's when I decided I needed to get into the best shape I can but more so I need something that is realistic for me to maintain. I have no excuses any more . I have all the time in the world to exercise, (I'm retired ) and more importantly I have spent years of educating myself on good nutrition so now to put it all into practice for the rest of my life. I'm not having this surgery to get rid of fat but just to remove the excess skin and fat that I can't from diet and exercise , you can only diet and exercise so much and I'm sure you ladies know what I'm taking about. The after photos Now 9 months down the track I'm weighing in at 55kg. Don't think this was easy with hiring myself a personal trainer and changing some bad habits like a glass of wine every night to only drinking on special occasions now. Also I always exercised , step classes, pump classes, fat burn classes but not lifting heavy weights in the gym which made all the difference , doesn't hurt having a trainer telling to to work harder. As you can see in the after photos although I have lost weight and toned up I still have the tummy rolls that look horrible in my beautiful dresses and by the way I have spanks on too.
That's all for now..

Congrats to you! I know how you feel to do all that work and though you look and feel so much better, there's these roles that just are deflating! (mentally, not physically! Then we wouldn't be in this situation, right?) You do look so healthy and beautiful. So you don't have a date yet? I am in 2 months and not so nervous anymore, but getting excited. Can't wait to be able to wear a dress like those and not feel like i have to suck it in (with my spanks) and hide my gut! Good luck on your journey!!

Thank you for your beautiful compliments . I have my first consult on June 22nd and because of my health insurance I have to wait 12 month before I can claim. So I'm not going to let it get me down but just concentrate on keeping my weight stable and my muscles strong. In the end I think this will help with my recovery. Good luck with your journey and keep me informed.

Hi ladies, what do you think? Iam going to get the PS to quote me on a breast lift as well as a tummy tuck. Anybody out there recommend it? I don't think I need implants.
