Where do I begin. Im 40yrs old, married, mother of 2, a 23 and I9 yrs old. Ive been battling with my weight ever since I had my 2nd child. Ive gone up to 190lbs down to 130, im now 155. Needless to say I have fat loose skin everywhere. So I figured I'll start with a TT, flank lipo and muscle tightening. Im nervous about tomorrow but excited all the same. I am bkessed to have both. Reading everyone's reviews has been very helpful. Thank you all for sharing your stories. .

Ok so PO day 2..I can say that its worse than I imagine. Trying to get up from either bed or recliner is very painful. I went to see my PS for my follow up. He said everything is looking good..he took 5lbs off, hopefully I can work on another 10lbs.

The drains are probably what I am dreading the most after of course the pain. Hope you have your removed soon.
