I am very nervous about my upcoming TT. I have wanted this procedure for 5 yrs and I have finally saved enough money to have it... And now I am having doubts. I have read several success stories, but for every success thee are two or three unhappy patients. My surgery is scheduled for July 30..... Please comment some encouraging words. I need it!

I know how you are feeling. My surgery is this Monday, and I have been struggling with second thoughts and it doesn't help with stories that end with unsatisfactory results to say the least. I'm trying to take some solace in positive thinking and trusting my doc. I try not to live my life with fear of this and that so I'm going to pray with everything I have. Everything will go well for you, try to stay positive.

MLOCKWOOD99 - I had my surgery 23 weeks ago (February 6th) and I would go back and do it all over again - cant believe I didnt do it a few years ago. I have my story on here, you are more than welcome to check it out (lots of pics too). It is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. The first week is the hardest (recovery wise) and every day gets better and better. Please let me know if you have any questions or anything like that.

Who's your dr? I had my surgery with Dr. German Newall on June 27, 2014 just three weeks ago today. I can't tell you how much I love his work. It has been pain free. I've been able to walk around since day two. He gives you an anxiety pill to take the night before surgery and I tell you it works to calm your nerves. I went in to consult on Tuesday June 24 and that same Friday June 27 I underwent surgery. Now I even say that if I knew it wasn't going to hurt I probably would if gotten more done. Best decision I made, just waiting on the swelling to go away. You'll be fine! Best of luck and hope you have an awesome recovery like mine :)

I think my nervousness has subsided, thanks to all of you here on the site.... I have stopped reading other websites (there are a lot of negative stories or BOTCHED stories) on this site everyone is so positive, uplifting and supportive. My TT is in 7 days and I have started packing my overnight bag.... Please share some "MUST-HAVES" to pack and take along with me.... I will stay in the hospital for 2 or 3 nights.....I meet with my PS in 4 days and I am sure that they will supply some type of list, but I would like to hear from you.... I TRUST YOU ALL!!! Thanks.... Talk to you ALL Soon!
