So I have been stalking everyone's pictures and stories for a couple of years. I have known for a long time that I wanted to do the TT procedure but after going into heart failure with my youngest child in 2013 my family was paranoid about me having surgery and potentially not surviving. I turn 40 this year and it's all about me. Starting March 7th I'm having my procedure to begin my journey in the 40 and fabulous club!

How are you feeling after surgery?
March 17, 2017
I am doing very well. I've kicked the pain meds and only using Tylenol extra strength. I could not be more pleased with the results and I am still very swollen. I told my plastic surgeon if I stayed like this I would be content. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself. Thanks for checking on me.

I'm so glad

Could you let is know what your stats were before surgery? Your weight? Your BMI and are you going to post after pictures?
March 17, 2017
Before surgery I was 179. I'm usually about 175 but we just came out of Mardi Gras season where I live so there is lots of eating and drinking going on. Lol. I am 5'4" and I have no idea what my BMI was. I haven't kept up with that since I had lap band back in 2008. I posted an after picture. It might be still under review. My dr. Doesn't want me taking pictures. He said I am still extremely swollen. I told him I feel fabulous about the new me so I'm taking pics. Lol.

Every time I try to post my pics I get a little discouraged looking at my body. Today I am owning it. It's the old me and not how I am defined.

i think the pics look worse than real life. That's what I'm telling myself anyway. ha I'm not as ashamed of it because I know it's temporary.

Lol. Amen to that.

Hi JK2012, I just wanted to say that I hope you have read more reviews about this doctor. It was too late for me when I found the bad reviews about him. Best wishes...
February 24, 2017
Hi Emmi2! On this forum there aren't many reviews of him but I did read yours and was saddened to hear you had such a bad experience. He has done procedures for me both major and minor since 2001 and I have always had a great experience as well as countless friends and family members. I remember in your journey it said you were no longer able to compete and that really made me sad to hear. I hope you are doing better now. I know that had to have been very traumatic.

Only one month until surgery ????????????

My surgery TT surgery is scheduled one month from today. I am currently feeling so many emotions. I am excited and paranoid at the same time. I keep having a fear that my results won't be as good as I would like. I am sure this is very normal but it's starting to make me have extreme anxiety. I think I will be so disappointed if I put so much into getting this done and the results aren't to my satisfaction.

i knew I wasnt going to look like some of the much thinner women on here. Its been an adjustment because my butt and thighs have swollen really bad. I have felt like a fat girl run over by a steam roller so she is fat but flat. I think the thighs are going down , i can tell when i try to pee and when I walk. I hvent tried on clothes or anything that didnt work from before because of swelling. Im sure its going to be much much better. I'm still me and a little chunkier than some on here but i am now a flatter smoother me.

Hows everything going? Did you have your surgery yet?
March 15, 2017
Hi there! Yes, surgery was a week ago yesterday. Recovery has been interesting. I have had some really great days and then some that were a challenge. I am overall extremely pleased with the results though. I get drains out Thursday and will try to get some pics posted. Thanks for checking on me.

No problem at all! Im so happy for you and cant wait to see the results. Its all recovery from here. Make sure to drink lots of water and also juice some pineapple, cucumber and celery, it helps with the swelling.
