Wow, where to start?? ....I am a 42yo mother of 2 teens and after 10 years of wanting this, everything has finally fallen into place and I have my TT surgery booked for 27th May in Brisbane, Australia. I live in regional NSW so need to travel about 4 hours to Brisbane for surgery but I am so lucky to have a very supportive husband who is with me every step of the way.

I had 3 referals from my GP but after meeting the second Dr, I just feel so comfortable that I am not going to see the 3rd. I am 165cm and have worked so hard over the past couple of years to get my weight down (now 69kg) but no matter what exercises I do I can't budge the flabby, overhanging belly.

I would like to lose another 3 kilos before surgery & am determined to get there. Only 5 weeks to go and I am now getting a little nervous.

Hi...I didn't go through with the tummy tuck. But I do have a friend who's just had hers done and is very satisfied with results and experience. She is all praises to Dr. Anthony Kane at the Brisbane Private Hospital. All the best!

Ok so here's what I am thinking..... maybe I should get my boobs done too! I have an appt with my PS on Thursday to discuss getting a BA at the same time so I guess a Mummy Makeover. Oooh I am so excited, but my brain keeps doing this 360 thing... yes get the boobs done....No don't be ridiculous.....Yes you deserve it....No its so much money....etc, etc.

It is only 4 weeks to TT day and I can't believe how much this decision has consumed my brain space. I find myself on realself daily (actually a few times daily!) and still find new things to read. I will update you all on my final decision about "boobs" when I make it.

I can relate to the working hard but the belly just doesn't cooperate. I am having my TT on Monday and I can't wait but I'm nervous as well. Good luck to you - you will look awesome!

Good luck for Monday, I am sure all will go well and you will be wondering what you were so nervous about.

Let us all know how you go. I am having a TT with MR and mini facelift on the Gold Coast on the 25 August. I have actually met Paul Belt and found him to be very professional.

To Scared Mum, August seems like a long way off but it will fly by. I really liked Paul Belt when I met him and so for me he was the right doctor. Who are you going with ? I will keep you posted on how my surgery goes, can't wait.

I sure do envy your positivity Koolk8 and I would appreciate you keeping in touch and letting me know how things go for you. My surgery is with Mark Doyle. I also live in NSW and am a medical student so I shopped around for a reputable surgeon. When I did my GP placements I made enquiries about the best surgeon and he was the one that came up trumps. Keep me posted. You will look amazing.

3 weeks to go. I had my pre op appt with my PS yesterday and yay, I am getting boobs too! I initially was going for just the TT. I sooo wanted BA as well but was finding it difficult to justify the cost but after much consideration and reading lots of mommy makeover reviews and talking it through with my PS - I am all booked in for 27th May for full TT with MR and BA. I signed all the paperwork yesterday and went through all the risks etc which is a bit freaky but I am soooo excited I can't wait. Only 3 weeks to go and I will have a new body. WooHoo!! I will try and organise some before shots of my boobs to include.
