*THE COUNTDOWN IS REAL*
I went for my second consultation on Oct. 3, 2016 for an extended TT. I am so excited, now that I have paid my deposit. I will be having surgery on March 15, 2017 @ 1030 a.m. I am 33 with four lovely kids. That I birth all by C-section. One of my biggest question is the pain. Could the pain be compared as the same as a C-section? I have a very high pain tolerant, so I’m not too worried about the pain. As I been doing my homework on TT I think I am more scared of getting the IV placed in my neck. I live two hours away from Columbus GA. So I am in search for a nice hotel suite in the Columbus area. My sister-in-law say that the Candlewood is a very nice hotel with a recliner so I most likely would be going with that hotel. My plains are to stay in Columbus for the first five days with my supportive husband. I have come up with a supply list, but still searching for supplies that best for me and my recovery. Without RealSelf I would be so lost on what everythig, so I want to thank all the men and women that share they stories on RealSelf. I hope one day my story will be as helpful and encouraging to someone as others were to me. I will be posting some before pictures soon. I will also keep everyone updated on how things going throughout my countdown….Now that I have a date I feel as if I am dreaming and can’t wait for someone to wake me up on the flat side. I will be letting everyone no how my PO visit went…to be continue……

Make sure you go to the Candlewood on Whittlesby Rd. That is the new one and much nicer. My sister lives there and I visit a lot. It's also in a good area next to a lot of stores and restaurants. I booked my room through expedia and it was 79 a night. A lot cheaper than going through Candlewood website. Also try to get a handicap accessible room. Good luck! I had to cancel my surgery with him and will be going to a local doctor. I hate that I will lose my deposit, but I'm glad that all I paid was the 250!

Hi, I am having mine with him also on Nov. 3rd. I live two hours away too in Atlanta but I was going to come home depending on my 1st post op date. IV sedation is easy once she give you a shot of Demerol you won't care. I will let you know how my recover goes
