WORTH IT$14,000
I have 5 children, currently 5' 2' 112lbs. With my first baby I gained 81lbs, I managed to get most of might wait off after each pregnancy but never back to prepregnancy weight. I finally just lost 20 more pounds and I'm happy with my weight however my skin has always haunted me. In clothes I look fine, intimitely I look disgusting with skin and boobs hanging. So I have finally decided to take the plunge and surgery is scheduled for May 29.

Officially one week from today I will have my procedure done, I'm starting to get a little scared but still so excited. I have my pre op appointment this Friday and have accumulated so many questions, I guess after reviewing so many before and after pictures my main concern is the placement of the scar, I do not want my scar high and I know if I don't have enough skin to stretch down it just might be high. I did read on other TT's post that they can use the belly button skin and I will have a small vertical scar and all those scars I have seen are nothing at all, they look like they fade nicely so I'm going to ask the PS if he can do that.

PO day 1- I got a TT with BA 425cc in each and MR. When I first got home I actually felt pretty good paint wise I also woke up from surgery in not much pain but the nausea has been terrible, if I'm in bed I'm fine but walking to the bathroom I feel like I want to faint. Pain is getting a little worse, a lot more tighter but still I thought it would be worse its still bearable.
I can see my breast as all that is on them is a top strap to push them down, right now one side is much bigger and the nipple is pointing outward so I'm worried abou that but then again they are both really swollen.
My tummy is completely covered by the binder (i just have a wrap around waist binder) so i can't see that but I could catch a glimpse at the bottom of the binder of some surgical tape and my husband kind of looked and he said the incision looks pretty low, I will be so happy of it is, I think I reminded my PS like 5 times that I really wanted it as low as possible. I can't wait to see my BB. I go for my post op today so we will see. Oh and another thing is the binder is on so tight it's very uncomfortable. I also only have one drain and in almost 24 hours it hang even out out 25cc of fluid.
Things that have really helped me so far:
Back scratcher - my legs and arms are so itchy and I can't stretch to reach it so that is sooo good to have.
Straws definitely
That's all I figured out so far, will post pics if I can get some today at the office later
