47 Yrs Old, 3 C-Sections and Multiple Other Major Surgeries... - Chicago, IL

I have been wanting a TT since I had my son 15 yrs ago, he is the youngest of 3 and his pregnancy was the worst. I am 4' 11" and normally weighed between 130lbs-135lbs for my last pregnancy I weighed in at 175lbs. I was not a pretty site. For the past 15 yrs all I have been seeing is my stomach continue to get worst as the years pass by. In the past 5 yrs my weight has been pretty much steady between 150lb-155lb which I am ok with as I am a very petite women. I finally convinced my husband and he gave me his blessing along with my kids being very excited for me. They feel that I deserve to be happy. I am a bit nervous but excited to see the end results. I have post my current look, when I saw these picks it helped me in on how bad I want this surgery.

I am finally down to 2 weeks before my surgery, having a bit of mixed feelings from nervous to excited. My surgery is scheduled for 3/22 @ 7:30 am. I haven't really shared with many people that I am having a TT just feel its all about me anyway no need to receive negative vibes. I have my pr-op on 3/14 but haven't had any lab work not sure if I should worry about that now. My biggest concern is the pain as I am allergic to Codeine but I have had surgeries before and the pain medication has worked and I do have a high tolerance for pain anyway. I have ordered my shower chair, walker and toilet sit as I have ready various times that these things will be needed I want to make sure I am comfortable during my recovery. I will keep posting along the way to share my personal experience through my journey to the flat side!

Received my call to confirm my pre-op appointment for Monday. Chatted bit with staff. She help set my nervous at ease a bit. I kind of feel a bit excited. I am creating my list of questions for my ps to assure that pain meds are taken care of due to me being allergic to Codiene... Feeling good and ready...
