I am 5'9 215lbs and I have had 4 children ages 14, 12, 8, and 10months. I have been wanting a TT for ages and I am finally done having kids :) so it is time for me to get this body of mine back in shape. I know I am not a small woman, but I personally like my curves.
I love my hips, butt, thighs and boobs....even after having 4 kids. What I hate in my stomach and my back fat at the bra-line. I am having an extended TT w/lipo of the abs and flanks with muscle repair and lipo of the back. I cannot wait. I cant lie and say I am not nervous, but I gave it to God and I trust my surgeon.
This is hands down one the the best sites for getting a feel of what the process is like and seeing other womens stories. You women have inspired me to move forward with my journey. Thank you. Pray for me and I will pray for you. I will be posting before and after pics very soon.

I am almost one week away from my big day, and today is my birthday!! Ya!! This TT is my birthday gift to myself. I cannot wait to become a part of the TT club. I am soooo looking forward to my surgery, but as most people I am scared. I know its all normal, but my emotion are all over the place I am soooo concerned about this surgery that I forgot it was my birthday today. My boyfriend had to remind me. I had my final appt. a few weeks ago, The dr. went over everything for me. Told me to keep on a multivitamin schedule and to get my scripts filled. I have done all of that. Now is just the countdown.
I am sooo excited!! I cant wait to get rid of this stomach I have been carrying around for 14 years. I have not worn a bikini since I was 18 years old and I just got the courage to wear a one piece for the first time last year! I feel like its time for me to get my life back. I am donr having children. I want to be able to enjoy the beach with my kids and not feel like the odd man out.
Pray for me and wish me luck!
I will post pics after the surgery.
Almost here!! :)

Hello! I am 25 and never had childern, but I am right at 6'0" and about 230 lbs. I have actually lost 88 lbs. Thats why I am needing a TT. I'm not so much worried about the pain and proceedure as I am the price and how pymts are accepted. And also how to chose a surgeon. I am getting married next year and would love to have this done before the wedding. I am so happy that you get to have yours done!! I hope everything goes well!!

Hi Campbellsvi, Just a question are you planning to have any kids?? This is a hard decision to make on having a TT before kids. I waited 21 years before because I just knew that I would need to go back and maybe have a revision on my TT if I had more kids after my first daughter. Talk with your surgeon and ask the question. I have 4 girls all C-section and at 5'2" and 186lbs that was hard to, up and down to my weight that was 125, my body was going crazy but with my last one I lost as much as I could that’s what my Dr. told me and 4 and 1/2 years after My yougest I finally said its time. I feel sooo great now that it’s almost like your world will change You do become sexy Mom again, but like I said speak to your Surgeon and ask all the question he will be your best friend for a wail remember that...

how much was it for your consault
April 26, 2011
My consult with Dr. Van Raalte was free only because he had it advertised that if you mention this website (real-self) then the consult was free. But otherwise it's 75 dollars. I went to a few other Dr. and they were 75 a piece too.

I am 6 days out from my surgery and I am feeling better about doing it now. I was really nervous for a while, but I know that the odds of anything traumatic happening are pretty low. Anyway, I feel better. I am just waiting for my day.
I will update after my surgery.

We are around the same proportions, I am imagining... I am 5'7" and 200 lbs. I have a 7 year old and twin 3.5 year old girls and really need to get these stomach muscles sewn back together! I'm also getting an umbilical hernia fixed with my full TT and lipo of the flanks.
I too was scheduled for May 5th but my babysitter just gave 2 weeks notice (day before surgery is last day) so I'm going to need to postpone.
You have such a great attitude going into it! My dentist, whose dad is a surgeon, told me that his father has always said that recovery time is up to the patient... it's all in the attitude. If you are stressed and nervous and negative, adrenaline goes into your system and slows the healing. So you are halfway there already with your positive nature!!! GOOD LUCK!

@ LoriMV I am soooo sorry that you had to postpone your surgery. I know it will all work out. Let me know how it yurns out. Thank you for your post as well about nervousness. I am trying so hard not to think about anything negative. Just positives. But I have my days. So I have been shoppig a bit, that helps a little :) I am very excited, my day is coming soon. I am not too worried about recovery because I have had a prior tubal surgery that was very painful. So if I can go through that kinda pain.... I believe this will be fine.
It's good to see other women around my size that are on here. As I said before, I like my size as a woman. i am in great health so as soon as i get this tummy and back of mines flat... wow! I will be a happy camper.
And I will have photos up of my before by friday. So stay tuned!
Good Luck everyone!
For now I am still waiting to save a few bucks to do it, and of course getting the courage to go through with it.
So you ladies are very inspiring. Good luck with your procedures, I will keep reading your posts and pray that everything turns to be better than you expected.
cheers, R.
