WORTH IT$6,700
I am 37 year old and mother of 2 active boys (ages 14 and 11). I'm 5' 5" and weigh 125 lbs. I run, bike, keep up with 2 sporty boys, snow ski, etc. but like all the other moms, nothing I do will ever get rid of the excess skin from two pregnancies. I've wanted a TT for years. Because of my small size anytime I've ever mentioned I'd like to have one I'm met with disdain from friends/family. "That's so stupid. Like YOU need a TT. Oh Please, you don't have anything to complain about. etc." I'm truly geting a TT for ME! Other than wearing a bikini on vacation, the results will only be viewed behind closed doors. :)
My doctor said I'm a good candidate for a Mini TT but he still plans to do a small amount of lipo for contouring and a muscle repair. I guess the only thing "mini" about it is that my belly button won't require any work. I'm super nervous. I had zero pain with child birth (just lucky I guess) so this will truly be the most MAJOR medical procedure I've ever had. I've also never been under anesthesia or taken Vicodin, etc. so I have no way of knowing how my body will react.

Went to the PS on Wednesday. Filled out all of the paperwork and made my payment (oof)! Asked my final questions. They were so casual about everything like it was no big deal that instead of feeling more relaxed, I felt more nervous! They said I would be given two binders after surgery so I went to the store and bought just a compression garment for after the binder days. Also interesting was that I may or may not have drains depending on how he thinks the surgery goes. Now I'm working on making my food list so I can go shopping the weekend before surgery to get anything else I might need. Any suggestions?

Yay! I'm March 8..... EEEKKK! Freaking out. I am 28, three girls and my weight is 109, but if you see my pictures I have loose skin. When I bend over.....bye bye breasts lol! I have been wearing this very heavily padded bra from VS, trying to get use to having breasts and trying to fool people so they don't look at me like I just had a BA.....haha! It's so bizzare to see me with boobs!! What are you doing for a bed? Some ladies bought recliners. My fiancée is not going to buy anything extra. Lol

So I will go one day before you. We'll be healing together. We had been in the market for a new bed for the last year. We ended up buying a simmons memory foam temperpedic type bed but the coolest thing is that we bough the power base with it. So I will be able to raise and lower the head and foot of the bed. So I'm pumped abou that. It just got delivered yesterday. It seemed like a lot of folks mentioned using recliners and then a lot of other folks mention sleeping with a pillow under their feet to keep them elivated and aleviate pulling pressure on the incision.

Oh, how lucky! we have a really good bed, but its very high up so my honey will build a step for me. I am going to order a Comfort U pillow, hopefully that helps. What do you have planed for food and drinks? i read Vitamin water and Cocunut water. I also read protien powder, but I hate those drinks. well, I dont like the slim fast anyway.

Surgery is 2 weeks from today. My nerves and fears are getting worse by the day. I can't wait until it's all over and I'm all healed!
I'm still trying to prepare my list of needs. I'll go shopping next weekend to pick up anything I can think of that will make this easier on me.

i am having a mini TT and breast implants march 7th so nerves. if I'm reading your blog right it sounds like we should be having our surgery about the same time. i am 40 5'6" 130-137 two girls. i workout a lot and eat right i can't get rid of the lower ab flab and my boobs well that's another story. people tell me the same thing "you don't need to have all that done you look great". I have always wanted to do this (at lest for the past 13 yrs). i just hope a mini TT and little lipo is enough(my doc insures me it is) and i don't want my boobs to make to look fat.in saying all this I'm nerves and excited all at the same time. Bejewelme sounds like you are going before us. you will have to tell us how your doing after the surgery

I am pretty much in full on freak out mode!! You? I spent all day Saturday and Sunday cleaning house so that helped keep my mind off of it but as soon as I laid to go to sleep I was wide awake! Are you having muscle repair too?
March 5, 2012
Fanofmx- it is worth it, I had terrible recovery after and even with all I went through I would do it all over again, it is amazing what a PS can do!! I will be praying for a safe surgery for you!

I feel the same way! You know I don't know about the muscel repair...I need to ask. He didn't mention it. My hubby still avoids talking about it .I guess thats whats bothering me the must. This is not hurting us financially. I hope he gets over it soon.
