Wanted This for Soooo Long - Ecuador

I'm 50 years old and after years of trying to lose my stomach by diet and exercise I decided to have a TT. This was something I've always talk about doing but something always got in the way.

6 months ago I went to work in Ecuador and was telling a coworker that I've always wanted to do a TT. She knew a plastic surgeon, set up the appointment and went with me. After meeting the doctor I was confident that this was the right time and place. It was now or never. For once I was going to spend my hard earned money on something I truly wanted.

Surgery was done in 3 hours - beside my plastic surgeon I had a general internist in the operating room. I spent 1 night at the clinic with a private nurse who slept in my room with me.

After being home for 24 hours my doctor and his assistant came to my home to check my drains and change my bandages.

I am 6 days post-op and despite the swelling am recovering nicely.

I can't believe that It has been 9 days since my TT. My doctor came by my house today to check up on me and sai I'm healing nicely. Yes, my doctor makes house calls :-) the plus of foreign medical services. At least South America.

I'm now wearing firm control girdles during the day and use my compression garment when I feel like I need more support. I still have some back pain and I'm swollen but overall I'm feeling good. I'm back to work in 3 days.
