I'm just a couple of days away from something I've dreamed of for years. I'm a late thirty-ish year old mom of 2 sets of twins ages 13 and 18. I'm 5'2" and weigh 123lbs. I've wanted a TT since the day after my second set of twins were born. The kids definately left their mark on me. It's time to do away with the "twin skin". Yay!!!! I've never had a flat belly, I was always a chubby kid and then gained a ton of weight with each pregnancy. I'm hoping I can finally stop trying to hide my flabby belly after this.

I usually don't post much about myself online but I felt different about this. It has been so helpful reading about other people's experiences here. A couple of months ago I had no idea which surgeons to consider or what to expect after the surgery. The reviews and comments I've read helped me to choose my surgeon and hopefully be better prepared for my recovery. A BIG thanks to all of you who have shared your stories! I hope mine will help someone too.

I'll post some before pics soon..... Gotta get up the nerve!

I'm spending the night in the surgery center an so far it's not too bad. My gallbladder surgery was way worse. It must have been the anesthesia. I feel a bit groggy and the only pain I'm having is toward the top of my abdomen from the muscle repair. Right now it's tolerable (3/10) but I think I'll ask for something to help it out now before it gets worse.

Everyone here is very nice I'm so glad I'm able to spend the night. It takes a lot of pressure off my husband and in turn me.
My husband is being so caring and sweet. He's off on a hunt for Jolly Ranchers for me. I have a funky taste in my mouth.
