I have been stalking this site for a couple months now and finally am ready to start my journey. I have a consultation set up for tomorrow afternoon and am overwhelmed with so many emotions. I have my own business and work from home, and have 2 amazing children a 4 year old girl who's my best friend that I carried very high (so lots of stretch marks) and a new sweet baby boy 6 months old that I carried very low so I have the fabulous hang over FUPA lol. I am so ready to feel like me again and be able to take my clothes off in front of my husband again.

I have a sx date of 2-3-2016 for a TT. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I choose my doctor after going to 4 TT consultations. Sure hope that she is the right choice . She is known as the TT queen.

Omg that's so exciting!! Right around their corner;) I know I'm nervous too but getting rid of my belly is so exciting! My friend got a TT by my surgeon hope mine turns out just as good

Hi - I'm doing TT, waist and flank lip - and still deciding on whether or not to do a breast lift (no implants though). It's a humbling experience to be able to "plan" your body this way. My surgery date is 2/16 and I'm in that worried/nervous/excited/impatient stage.
January 17, 2016
I totally agree with you it feels so surreal to be able to plan this. I wanted to do a lift as well and my hubby said lets do this now and maybe in a couple years do the lift. Hey I'm not gonna complain lol I just can't wait to feel like the old me and wear clothes because of what I like not what will cover me up. Your surgery is so close you must be getting so excited!! You have to post pics after your on the flat side;)

Very exciting for you!!! Looking forward to share the journey with you.

Thank you so much!! I'm so so excited and nervous all at the same time!! Me too your date is getting close
January 23, 2016
The date will be here before you know it. Just realized you are going to Dr. Brahme. He is a true artist and far exceeded my expectations! The entire office has been amazing. His nurse Cristina is a gem. So excited for you. You'll be so happy when it's done!
January 24, 2016
Thank you seeing your results definitely gets me really excited. I'm nervous about being put to sleep. How is the pain now? You look so fabulous! You Must be ecstatic!
January 24, 2016
Going to sleep is the easy part! Just drift off to la la land and next thing you're awake and done! I stopped all pain pills on day 5 (Surgery Fri, last narcotic Wed). Honestly, pretty much zero pain other than minor twinges and mostly just muscle soreness. Nothing Tylenol and/or ibuprofen can't take care of. You'll be fine! And Dr. Brahme's office will make sure you are taken care of completely. So excited for you. I obsessed for months til I did it. Focus on the good stories and positivity! Expect the worst but hope for the best. Then your expectations will be blown away!

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I feel very confident with PS choice so nice to hear about your journey makes me really feel like I made a good decision on choosing him. I day dream and just can't stop thinking about how amazing it will feel to have a style again and be confident in my own skin. Thank you!
