OK, so I am 36 with 3 angels who have stretched my body BEYOND its limits! My youngest is 2 and I am done having kids. I talked about this for the longest and went in to get a consult and after playing with schedule and idea, I DID IT! Prayed, scheduled, paid and committed! Getting full TT with muscle tightening, BL and reduction. Spouse is a great support and is more excited than I! I put this off for the longest b/c I was afraid of the pain, but I hate looking at the wrinkling skin and hanging girls. Some people will say, oh, just work out harder, and I do, but that is not the answer! Show me a workout that tightens these wrinkles and lifts my breast INCHES...NONE! I am 194lbs and 5 ft 6in and I plan to be down 10-15 more pounds before I walk into the room and as each day approaches, I am getting NERVOUS! I know this will help me lose this weight for good as I will feel better and after all of this pain and cost, I will not go back! After my 3rd pregnancy, the weight loss has been very slow, but now I am truly committed and this is a step for me!!!!

I originally received my consult at another practice, but then I went to Dr. West. He was so patient, had, an impeccable resume and wonderful pics, so I went with him. I wasn't going to do it unroll 2014, but my hubby took time off in Dec, so I did it and his coordinator was very accommodating, I scheduled! I loved how he took the time to explain everything during my consult and he had no idea if I would be choosing his practice. He did not try to talk me into anything extra, only what I wanted and what was best for my body with realistic results! A friend of mine went to him a few months prior and she looks great, so that sealed the deal!

Good luck to you. I just had my TT one week ago today in Marietta, GA. No amount of exercise will get rid of extra skin.

YAY! I read your review, did the coconut water help? I was planning to purchase a riser for the toilet, but sounds like you didn't use yours. I may not purchase it. I will purchase plenty of pillows for the bed and my reclining couch. Not sure I will go upstairs on day 1. Post some pics, cant want to see what it looks like as it heals! I am most terrified of the scarring, and I "claim" that I wont look at it, but I am sure I will b/c I will be so elated not to have wrinkly jiggles!

I didn't get the seat risers at all. I do recommend a shower chair, however. Right now I an dressed in "real" clothes for the first time since the 18th. We are about to go to the doc to have the drains removed. Hopefully we can get some pics in the exam room. I will update my review later today.

PICS before Pre Op in AM

OK, so I do Crossfit, and want to lose 10lbs before 23 Dec...any suggestions besides starving myself? I like smoothies, so think I will do these. I am not getting any lipo, just full tuck, muscle repair and lift. I am finally posting pics, brutal, but honest! My tummy pokes out more than my butt! This too shall pass as in a few weeks, I will be sitting up and less wrinkly and no more muscle separation! YAY ME! Will update after Pre Op tomorrow.
