2 year TT UPDATE Houston TX
Happy New Years RS!
Well it has been 2 years since I took the plunge and crossed over to the flat side --- lol
My date was december 3rd 2013
I had TT with MR and lipposuction of the flanks .
I am a little late in posting my 2 year update , but here it is
My life is back to normal I no longer have thoughts or some type of internal physical reminder of a TT - this actually stopped way back .
I still love looking at the new me and it's amazing even now , I do enjoy going clothe shopping and going into the fitting rooms Lol- I am wearing XS tops!!
I have lost more weight since having the TT and I think mentally having the TT I wanted the rest of other body parts to catch up and look just as good - I hope that makes sense .
I do still have some numbness that Ive learned to accept. It's a welcoming trade off.
I do wish by now my scar would of been less visible . I do have dark spots along the scar line ,this is also another thing I've learned to accept .
My scar itself is very thin and very low and the scar itself is flat but I do have dark spots in certain areas along the scar line for those that may be thinking this - No I don't have any keloids and no my scar is not raised , i have tried prescribed bleaching cream no bueno . I was offered some other options to remove or reduce the dark spots but in reality ,heck I was more then pleased with my outcome and hubby certainly loves the new me .. Lol
I have included the most recent 2 years pic and you will see the dark areas along the scar.
If asked today would I take the plunge to have the TT my answer would be a fast YES!! and with the same PS too !
The only advice I could give you girls that are reading and doing their research is to make sure you are working with a board certified PS also please don't let the price be your deciding factor in selecting the right surgeon .
Do read the reviews on the PS and be your best healthy self this is including weight and mental health . It is a journey and I pray that it will be a fantastic journey for you all !!
Blessing and happy healing

One Year Update
Hello RS
I am actually 13 month post op TT surgery with MR & Lippo on flanks was performed 12-3-2013
What I know is at the year anniversary you really see the permanent changes -it truly takes close to year to see the final results -- believe me I was loving the results early on !
At the year mark I have learned to gage what will make me swell ,
Yes if I don't watch what eat or if I am constipated I get the swell or puffiness but to most people I am completely flat still ,but because you know your bodies temperament the giving and pulling back . Only another TT sistah will understand :)
I can still feel the skin pulling taunt especially when I stand I have to accept this feeling - I just know I was pulled tight :)
Oh yea, one thing there is no fat on my tummy it has moved to my thighs and butt and arms :/
Did I hear someone say Lippo?
LOL
I am also looking into facial fillers and also towards the end of the year getting the girls done :)
Sending happy wishes to everyone !

Muscle repair failure ? 10 month
Hello RS
Not sure what happened to my previous post - okay something I want to share with you girls -
Couple weeks ago I went to see my PS because of an issue, I thought I had MR failure - the first thing my PS said is that my stomach is distended and if I was constipated? -- okay girls I am irregular but did not think this could be the reason for the "roundness" or bowing of my stomach -
My PS did check my stomach at my request and he did explain. That it would take serious trauma or injury for my MR to fail- and I haven't experienced neither.. Heck I still don't do any core exercise .
Please see picture to show you how my stomach was looking everyday morning to night it was bowing out and rounded , this would make any one think the worst eh ?
Well soon as I got home I took two ex lax for the next few days and the distended look disappeared I am now back to and remaining flat unless I drink or eat something that will cause the bloating feeling --
So I share this with girls if you have the "roundness" or bowing of the tummy it could be that you're irregular ?
Well ladies wishing everyone a happy holiday- December will be a year for me and I still love my new tummy !

Provider Review
So far so good, I have interviewed 4 PS- and Dr Lyos really took the time to show me examples of how I may look with similar body types, he really took the time and you could see the way he really cares about his skill as a PS . Although this doctor was more pricier then the other PS - I feel I made the right choice.
