This is my yr to finally get my TT, I gained 60 lbs during pregnancy on a 5'w" petite frame which left my stomach a flappy mess! My daughter is almost 3, I've already had my consult which he indicated I'm a good candidate for a Mini. I will post more before and afters once the date comes closer!!!

Good luck! I'm scheduled for a full tt March 18th but I'm seriously considering getting a mini.

Did the doc say you'd be better off with a full TT? I have another appt before my surgery and asking him if he's sure I'm good for a mini, I do have some lose skin above my navel but only when I sit down. I'm nervous though, about the scar and the healing process.

We talked about both and he left it up to me to choose. What I really like about the full tt is that he will be able to tighten my muscles and I would lose a lot of the stretch marks I have. The mini is a little less invasive that's why I'm leaning more towards that. I have to make another appointment I'm very undecided right now. I also have to see if he will still be able to repair my hernia with a mini.

Omg it's getting closer! I just called and paid 4,380 for my mini tummy tuck with lower an muscle repair and lipo to upper abs. Here are a couple more before pics. I'm working out at Title Boxing Club so I'm trying to lose as much body fat as possible before my surgery!

So I have decided to stick with getting a full tt. I figure if I'm going to do it I might as well do it right so I have no regrets. Just counting down the days and playing the dreaded waiting game. I will continue to follow your progress. Good luck!

Thanks for saying my stomach looks a lot like yours, I think you look great! I have a lot more fat on my stomach than you. I actually do have a lot of stretch marks, from my breasts to my knees!! I have them on my stomach by my navel, and deep on my hips. Also on my inner thighs clear down to my knee caps. I look at them everytime I sit on the toilet lol. They are just white now. Anyway I am totally freaking out about this surgery now that it's soo close! I have another pre op appt this Tuesday and I'm bringing a list full of questions. I trust his work I'm just afraid of the long healing process with a 3 yr old. Have you decided on a PS yet?

I understand your story, as I am 5'2" and gained 75 pounds at the age of 39 :-(, but all over my body, causing baggy skin everywhere. You rock girl, and I'll be following your new story. My tt is April 16.

I live in columbus and have been trying to find a good doctor to go to. That price is great! I might go check him out

Pre Op appt

I had my pre op appt this morning and it went so fast! They had me in and out in 15 mins. I took a pg full Of questions because I was starting to freak out about it. He answered all my questions and showed me his portfolio of his MTT procedures again. He is also tightening my lower ab muscles and performing lipo to my upper abs. He said the incision is just like a c section only a little longer. The flap of skin goes clear over to my hips when I sit down but he said he pulls the skin down as well as in so there is no need to extend the incision. I really trust him and his work is amazing so the only thing left to do now is get my rx's filled and buy some yoga pants!! I'll post more befores too right before my surgery.
