Much Needed TT After 2 Kids - excess skin
ORIGINAL POST
Hi Everyone! I'm 26 years old and have 2 beautiful...
WORTH IT$6,500
Hi Everyone! I'm 26 years old and have 2 beautiful boys. I have always been skinny and small, but when I get pregnant...I get PREGNANT! My first born I gained 70lbs, which was mainly water retention and a big belly. I lost it all right away but suffered a lot of stretch marks and some loose skin. 3 years later I had my second son. With his pregnancy I gained 85lbs and my belly was twice the size as my first. I looked as if I was having twins. Within 3 months i had lost 95% of the weight, which was also a lotttt of water retention and of course some fatness. Because of my second belly being so big and me dropping weight so fast my stomach went KABOOM! I got a lotttt more stretch marks which was nothing compared to all the excess and loose skin. I love being fit and working out and was heartbroken when I noticed I was getting a 2 pack but couldn't see it because it was covered under the excess skin.
So I told hubby that's it! My friend refereed me to Dr Davis in Cherry Hill, NJ who will be doing a mini TT with lipo around my waistline. I've put down the healthy food and have been eating crappy food because once I come out that OR it is clean eating for me.
Whatever the case, I'm super excited to say goodbye to this nasty belly :D

Switched DR
So I was previously doing my surgery with DR Davis in NJ, but was referred by a friend to DR Gobay in Philly because he's a lot cheaper. Davis was charging me $8250 for a mini tt, and Gobay $6500 for a full tt....huge difference. So Gobay officially bought me! I left my deposit with Gobay which was awesome since it was only $400. I called davis and they will refund my $1000 deposit I had previously left.
Anyways super excited that I have this good DR here muchhhh closer to home, and cheaper. Luckily I was able to get mu surgery for the same day I planned.
Can't wait! :D

good for you! you sound a lot like me! i gained 70# with my pregnancy and lost 90 after it! it certainly takes a toll on the body though :(

You would have not gotten good results with a mini TT. Best of luck!

That's what I was so worried about. Davis told me I can't get a full tt because I don't have enough loose skin and that it will cause him to leave me 2 scars. SOOO happy my friend told me about Gabay.

I can't wait to see your results! My belly is very similar to yours, (the strech marks and loose skin.)

Full TT I need to lose a few more lbs and thinking about breast implants. I might as well get it all done at once. I will post pictures today when the little ones are occupied. I don't want them to see me taking pic of my body. Lol

I can see where he thought your skin wouldn't be loose enough. You may end up with a higher scar. Mine is higher but I don't mind. Most panties cover it. Because your stretch marks extend over your belly button you will still have some when it's over but not a lot. Be sure to take it easy afterwards. It's a major surgery and your body needs time to heal :)

Yeah that's what I fear. He said it's going to be low, hopefully he's right. But whatever I figure it'll be better than it is now. As long as I can cover it with my clothes and low rise pants I'm
Ok with it. Luckily high waisted bikinis are back in style

So I have exactly 3 more weeks to go or 21 days. Each day I feel
More ready. My husband told me he's finally feeling excited. He's always been supportive but said he didn't care much for it but the other day he said he's excited I'm getting it done and how sexy I'm going to look ??. Anyways I can't wait for my pre op apt in 2 weeks I have a ton of questions to ask my dr. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I should ask?
