Hi All,
It's been about 2 years since I had my TT with MR. Someone just sent me a message after seeing my profile on here, so figured I'd give you an update. I'm so happy I had my procedure done. My stomach looks amazing (see pic). My muscles actually work properly the way they are supposed to. I have scoliosis, so my back pain has other causes, but it has been significantly reduced since having the surgery. Also, my scar looks great. It is a faint white line, I hardly notice it when I'm naked and it is well hidden under my bikini bottom or underwear. Looking back, it was an emotional decision, a shitty 2 weeks of recovery when I was drugged out of my mind just to make it through the day, 2 more weeks of not being normal or moving around easily. Then it got easier from there. I was back to yoga in 8 weeks. And after that, it hasn't even been a thought in my mind. Just so glad I had it done. Happy to answer any questions anyone has. Good luck!

Thanks for posting your story! I am considering this procedure for functional reasons as well. As you know ~ not much info on how a TT improves the function and comfort of the body. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone. I am 7 weeks PO as of yesterday. Had a check up with the PS and he gave me the all clear for just about everything with the exception of situps/ crunches. I can go back to Bikram (hot) yoga. I can wear jeans. I don't have to wear the binder anymore. I can lay on my stomach. I can get massages. etc. So that is pretty good...
I am still fairly swollen. Which is annoying. I'm ready for that to go away already. He said it should be better within the next month or so and all gone within 9 months. I am going to Mexico for vacation 5 weeks from yesterday so I hope it is sooner rather than later!
I still can't say whether or not it is worth it. I need to wait and see what the FINAL results are like.

Thanks for sharing and for updating often. I hear you on the muscle repair. It was one of the reasons I did the TT. I was tired of the deep separation anytime I worked out and felt weakness in my back. My friend had a TT three years ago and she reports that her core is strongest its ever been. So there's hope.
Your belly button looks centered in the last pic. You look great! : )
