I'm getting ready to have a TT by Dr. David Altamira in Houston, TX. I have heard great things about him and how wonderful he is. But I haven't seen pics of his work. If anyone has had a TT done by him, if you don't mind please share your pics. Would love to see his work. Thanks everyone! Have a blessed day!

Please write to us and let us know how you are doing. I am 3 wks out from TT by Dr. Schusterman in Houston. I have a post on it. Let us know if you have any questions, or just need support. We are here. I hope your female issues get resolved, an that you can have your procedure as scheduled. March 3rd is a long time to wait.

Thank you. I'm so ready to have it done! I'm working on having a hysterectomy and my TT done at the same time that's why its scheduled so far out to give the physicians time to work out the details. :/

Well, take your time !
You will need help the first 2 weeks. You can't do any housework or cooking. My girlfriends all got together and brought us dinner for 3 weeks. It was so nice not to have to worry about that.
My sister ran my kids around to their activities, and she did a lot of housework.
I am married, but my husband has a very demanding job, and he only took off the day of my surgery. (I am used to it.)
Also, be sure you have someone to talk to about things. I only disclosed the hysterectomy to most of my friends. There were only 2 or 3 that I disclosed the abdominoplasty to. I'm a fairly private person, so that can sometimes limit my support system.
I don't think people. Who've never had plastic surgery can relate anyway, so that's where realself comes in.
Not too many women post about HYS combo procedures, so that's why I am doing it.
If you need anything, or even just want to vent, please let me know. It would mean a lot to me to know that my experience helped another person !!
Good luck, and write to me anytime!!

Thank you so much for the tips and leading ear! Definitely will need someone to talk to.
February 7, 2016
Anytime !!!
Can't wait to hear from you !
If I might give you one tip.
Get a power lift recliner.
I rented one. Not very expensive. If you want the info., please let me know. Best thing ever.

Great! Thanks! I'm actually looking into a pharmacy in rental fees. Thanks!

Try emedicalsupplies.com
They will deliver your chair and set it up. Then pick it up when you're done.
I paid 350 for a month.
You will need it at least that long. Sometimes I still sleep in mine because I had hip pain after surgery. Probably due to the position I was in during surgery for 3 hours !

Okay thanks
