I am a mom to 9 month old twins and my husband and I have decided these would be our first and last. At 5'4 I've always carried my weight evenly and I went from 165lbs to 205lbs during the pregnancy. 40lbs is not too bad for a twin pregnancy but it did a doozie on my poor tummy tum. I was stretched to no return and I was left with about five handfuls of hanging skin.. here are the pics of the monstrous tum tum and the hideous belly button which protruded during pregnancy and never went back in!

I meant love him (oy). I have only had a consult with him (I am hoping to get a BL) but both my husband and I walked out just knowing this man is a good doctor, by all standards. He is all logic and reality when it comes to expectations of what is and is not possible. Very down-to-earth, attentive and actually explained why he did not recommend a more expensive option that I thought was necessary. Looking forward to hearing your impression of him.

I had my consult yesterday....

I had my consult yesterday with Dr. T and I have to say I walked in feeling almost nauseous due to the nerves but walked out smiling because the reviews are spot on. He is super nice, realistic, thorough and very professional. His overview of the process and examination were very detailed. I almost died when he grabbed the handfuls of skin under that thing I once proudly called my belly button lol. He insisted several times (with hand gestures) that all the extra skin would go into the TRASH... Ahh, yes, so disgusting yet so beautiful at the same time lol.
Of course I had a list of questions for him, but I didn't really have to ask much of them because he already thoroughly went over everything. I was already impressed with his work before the consult but both my husband and I walked out feeling very satisfied and very confident in his abilities!

I handed over the deposit today to secure the date!!! I will join the flat side on March 14, 2014 and it seems like its soooo far away!!! Im so anxious to finally just get rid of this flap and I cant believe I'm one step closer to doing just that! I am getting a full TT with hernia repair, along with lipo to flanks. My goal is to lose about 15lbs before the big day and I have about 2.5 months to do it... :-]
