WORTH IT$9,500
Hi all I just rescheduled my TT & liposuction with dr. Kolder in Camarillo ca from July 6 to June 8. I just couldn't wait any longer & found a gap in my work schedule for a month earlier :). I was beyond ecstatic!!!!
I have 4 adult children & my pregnancies weren't bad since I never gained much weight. But 2 C sections, a hysterectomy & hypothyroidism all contributed to my post children weight gain and lovely hanging "apron" tummy as I've learned it's called. I've never ever had a flat tummy & my daughter has the flattest tummy ever - must have inherited it from her father blah! So now that I'm 50 & kids are adults, I'm able to do all I want and it's me time so here I am finally....You all can relate!
I'll be posting before Pictures soon & especially when I get brave enough to post before pics!! Knowing it's going away soon & seeing everyone's before/after a pics and stories give me (and others) so much encouragement to face the image I just don't like. I feel excited and scared esp at the recovery part but I read on & find strength :)

I am scheduled for surgery the same day! It can't come soon enough. I also have adult children and I am ready to do this for me!

Hi! just 29 more days to go - it's getting real!!!!!! Have you gotten any supplies ready for post op? When is your pre-op appt? Mine is on the last week of May, and I just did blood work today. Soooo counting down! :)
May 11, 2016
I have been stocking up on some supplies...Ice packs, foam cushions for under my legs and tailbone and shower chair so far. I think I am also going to get a raised toilet seat. My pre-op is scheduled for May 25th. How about you, what kind of supplies are you getting to prepare for recovery?
May 12, 2016
I haven't yet gotten anything, except a shower chair. I usually over prepare for everything and end up with too much left over things unused collecting dust. I'm looking into renting a recliner maybe & I also looked into those cushions from jc penny's and relax the back store. So happy I found this site because I'm getting so many ideas oh! And you tube too lol just helps with my obsession with this Tummy tuck. I just can't wait although I'm starting to get a little nervous

Btw my complet response didn't post but my pre-op is the day after yours so I'm glad to have found you as we can compare notes along the way! :D
May 12, 2016
I agree, I am very happy to talk to someone tha is having their TT the same day so we can connect along the way!

You are going to be so thrilled. I am 6 weeks po and the change has been amazing. I'm down 37 pounds with the tummy of my dreams. This was the best decision I ever made. Every day after surgery gets better and better. Follow your doctors instructions. You are going to be great!

Hi! Wow 37 pounds lost after ur surgery? That's awesome!!! How much did u lose just from the surgery alone? I'm so glad to hear that you're happy with your results. I'm having anxiety and buyers remorse (not too remorseful, just a little haha) but def having no anxiety over my surgery.

They removed 16 pounds of skin and fat with the lipo-abs and flanks. Post surgery I followed a high protien very small portion diet. No artificial sugars. The weight kept dropping off and I was not exercising and barely walking. I kept it up and feel amazing. Best of luck! You will be so happy you invested in yourself and your health. This was life changing for me.

I'm having surgery the same day too! Super anxious but excited!

Before my surgery I want to lose minimum of 10 pounds. The surgeon says I don't really need to but I want to be as close to my goal weight as possible. here are some before pics as I am..I'm 5'0 and ugh I can't say my weight right now. I have such a hard time with the number that only my dr and I know :(

Jaycee0802May 23, 2016
I'm so excited and nervous that I have 16 more days until my surgery! I planned my surgery for June a few months ago thinking I'd lose
20 pounds. I've lost no weight! My PS Dr. Kolder advised that my current weight is ok to have the surgery. Also since my weight was stable that was ok too. I just wanted to have the best result possible. I have seen some great results with others on the site with the same weight and body type as mine so hopefully I'll be okay.
So now I'm nesting...trying to get my house in order and gathering up some supplies. I'm going to wait till my pre-op appointment on THursday before I make anymore purchases...for now it's just the basics plus what my mother had left over.
Shower chair
Walker
Blood pressure, pulse oxymeter, thermometer
Milk of magnesia
Sensitive skin paper tape, gauze
Antibacterial things
Glad stick on (to shower)
Etc etc
Things are really coming up quickly & I'm excited & scared and having anxiety all at the same time.
I'll post some "bare" before pictures very soon!
