I had lapband surgery in 2010. went from 240 to now 143-148. My lowest was 115. I am finally getting my TT surgery on 10/14. I am so nervous and excited. I have waited for years to reclaim my body. I had my 1st son at 16 and have had 4 sons. They are 20, 12, 8, 4. I am done having children and can't wait to live my 40's how i shouldve in my 20's with a beautiful body and confidence. I love my boys but I can't wait till the gift of flab pregnancy left behind is gone.

Day of treatment
Here are my before pics
I'm waiting to go in and thought I'd upload these since this stomach will be gone soon. I'm 30 mins out from surgery and I'm feeling nervous and exhilarated. I can't believe this is finally happening. I've waited for this for so long. I truly feel like this is the beginning of a new life for me. Surgery time is 12:45. I'm alone at the hospital which sucks but my son will be here to pick me up later.
I've tried to picture in my head what I will look like and I can't even imagine anything other than what I am.
I hope when it is all said and done that it is worth it and that I look and feel better.

First post op pics- 1 day post op
So had surgery yesterday. I was in surgery for 4 hours. The anesthesia caused me horrible nausea so I wasn't able to leave right away. I went into surgery at 2... Came out at 6..... Woke up at 6:30. Wasn't in too much pain but very uncomfortable. I finally got home at 1 am.
Today I am very drowsy cuz of the percs but not too bad. The drains suck and I hate them... Lol. They tug a bit when I move but again not too bad. I can't wait to get them out. They totally freak me out. I didn't get those little bulbs everyone has. I have these 2 things that look like small saucers.
The binder is rubbing against my incision so I put a tank top on underneath the binder. It def feels better with the shirt on underneath.
I def like how flat the top looks and realize the bottom is big because it is still swollen so I'm hoping to be able to see a bit better in a few days.

Looks great so far! I had my TT on the 12th so am still at the beginning stages as well.
The CG is very uncomfortable for me also. I didn't think of putting a tank top under it, hmm I may have to do that when we change the dressings out. I am VERY swollen all over below my belly button. I am hoping that goes down so I can see the results but time will tell.
I think my worse pain right now is the back pain.

Luckily I don't have back pain but I think its cuz I've been in a recliner and not moving a lot but I know moving is good so I'm gonna take go at it. I still don't have an appetite.
I have been ready for this day since I had my first son at 18. if you have any questions or need someone to chat with during your journey i'll be here (we are only 2 days apart ).
