WORTH IT$7,200
I'm 5' 3" with 4 adorable kids. My last 2 kids were about 8 pounds. I joined the gym, got a trainer and did INSANITY. They all put in me in good shape ... except my stomach. I have a recti diastasis at least three fingers wide. I wanted to get a TT last year but my PS adviced me to get my BP under control first. Now that is done I'm ready. I'm SO excited!

My pre-op appt is on Friday (three days from today). So far the staff there has been outstanding! I hope that experience continues throughout. I saw my PS twice and I feel at ease with him. I'm trusting his experience especially with Black skin. My biggest concern is scarring which we African-Americans can be prone to but he said with proper scar management, everything should be fine.
Pray for me on this journey!

Tomorrow, I go in for my pre-op. I'm actually felling very calm and brave right now. Probably because I've waited for so long. My husband will be coming with me also. I'm thinking the pain will be comparable to the same one I had when I had a fibroid removed a decade ago. I have read a lot of folks saying they were given a clear liquid diet. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I need to be on one.
I have been wondering and I hope this TT will resolve my bloated stomach during periods. At least I hope it won't be as huge. It just sticks out so much, people ask when I'm due. Anyway, tomorrow can't come fast enough!

Your tummy will flatten out A LOT! My stomach was distended also quite a bit, and it was 90% bc my muscles were destroyed. once she sewed them back up nice and tight my tummy barely sticks out at all. Like NOT AT ALL! Your tummy looks quite a bit like mine did and i just know you will have amazing results! I also got in shape everywhere else and i just couldnt get my stomach to go away. the TT did the trick and i can honestly say ive never been more confident. Im so excited for you bc i know how great TT makes people feel!

You're so right about the confidence thing. I know my physical self esteem suffered after my third child. I started feel great the day I made my first payment on my procedures. Even with my soreness, I'm feeling like applying for a new job. I feel amazing... and sore :-)

I'm having a tt with this Dr. On the 20th of June. I'm super excited!!! Hope it goes well for you, good luck and keep us posted!

From what I've seen so far, he seems to be on top of his game. Kinda quiet. But approachable.
