WORTH IT$8,500

Never thought I would be able to afford to have a TT but things have changed. I have thought about it for years up and down in weight(more up than down) and have been stable for a few years now. So Had my consultation, pre-op tomorrow and surgery Oct 10th. I have been excited for the most part, but all of the sudden I am worried I might look funny PS say I won't have a totally flat belly (will be round) due to the intra abdominal fat. OMG what am I going to look like? I will post pics as soon as I get the guts to take the pictures. Weird posting something on the internet I have spent years trying to hide.

Dr. Jensen and his entire staff are wonderful. They made me feel comfortable and safe and I never felt rushed. He is an amazing surgeon and even took an ugly bump off my lip with no charge and you can't even tell it was even there. At no time was there any pressure to go forward with surgery or do more than what I had asked for. I am so happy that I made the choice to have this done. I am still amazed when I look in the mirror. If I ever need anything done in the future will definitely go see him.

Does your PS offer lipo with the TT?

September 22, 2016

Yes he will doing flanks.

September 25, 2016

Ain't that the truth! I haven't posted pics either. I'm scheduled 10/5. I like knowing what I will be going through but not thinking about it. I am concentrating on getting all my stuff in order and killing dust bunnies. Lol

September 25, 2016

I Love this site I feel I am ready expecting the worst (pain wise) and hoping for the best. I feel almost obsessed with getting ready, what do I need to buy?? Keep going back and forth on getting a hospital bed but probably wont need it. I have a friend coming to stay with me for a week and my other half will be here at night.

September 25, 2016

My sister will be here for four days and my husband is retired. I do want to make sure I have everything stocked in. But my husband will be available to go out and about. We have a lift chair. So I'm not thinking about a bed.

October 6, 2016

Thank you for the info. I have rented a electric hospital bed. Will be here tomorrow. Will be shopping today for fruits vegis and low salt soups.

September 26, 2016

My TT W/muscle tightening is also scheduled for Oct. 10th! My preop is Friday! I'm getting excited, starting to create my survival kit now. I plan to post pics as it gets closer to surgery day. We need to be proud of ourselves in making this huge & exciting decision! Good things to come!

September 26, 2016

I had my pre-op last week. Picked up all my meds yesterday and starting to get the rest of my things together. Just ordered an electric bed, just in case. Two weeks from this moment I will be at the surgery center (2 hrs away) I am very excited and so far not to scared. Keep wondering when the fear will kick in. Lets keep in touch throughout this exciting adventure.

September 30, 2016

Hi Catsmee, My surgery is on the 10th @ 10:30am. I having the TT and muscle tightening, Did my preop, picked up my prescriptions. Waiting for my lift chair to arrive late next week. I get a little scared then happy when I think of the outcome. Will pick up the rest of my supplies this week. Will keep you in my prayers.

September 30, 2016

My surgery is at 11am can't believe it is only 11 days away I feel so calm about it. My other half says he is surprised I am not stressing. Have to say I am having trouble sleeping, wake up and think about it a lot. He thinks I am just holding it in and will be a basket case on the morning of surgery.

September 30, 2016

Last night was really the first night I've had trouble sleeping, just thinking about it! I'm so excited and I know the rest of this coming week is going to be so hard because I'll be so excited! I do think I'll be a mess the morning of, my nerves tend to get the best of me.

October 8, 2016

Well we have a little less than 48 hours til surgery !!! I'm nervous and so excited. How are you doing?

October 9, 2016

I am doing pretty good, now just over 24 hrs, I am somewhat nervous but just feels very strange that it is actually going to happen tomorrow morning. Doesn't feel real even though there is a hospital bed in my living room. LOL Prayers all goes well for you and I both. Excitedly waiting to be on the healing side.

October 9, 2016

Pre-op done and on my way ONLY 17 days till the day

CMPriceSeptember 24, 2016

I was a little nervous at pre-op but now I just feel calm about it like it hasn't sunk in I am doing this. I was terrified last time I had surgery and was expecting to be that way again. I am sure it will hit me when not ready. Day 8 of no smokes and trying hard not to gain any weight, so far so good. Funny thing I have hated having my stomach touched and try to pretend it doesn't exist but now I have pulled and tugged and pocked at it so much trying to figure out how I will look. I am afraid to expect to much for being disappointed. There are some beautiful bodies on this site. Having a hard time finding bodies like mine to get an idea.

That's what I do too. It's hard to find someone with the same body type.

September 25, 2016

I am 55 5'3'' and 165.

September 25, 2016

We are pretty close. I carry my weight pretty much in my mid section.

October 12, 2016

I had a question for the pre op what do they do I have a appointment on Friday for that so I'm curious

October 17, 2016

Haha don't worry your stomach will be numb for months

November 15, 2016

good luck to you! Keep us posted. you are going to love your results! read my journey for some encouragement, it hasn't been easy breezy but I can finally say the worse is over for me and I'm so happy with my tummy.

September 28, 2016

Thank you. I am so excited only 12 days left. I am afraid of the recovery and anxious to get past the first few weeks. I had a cervical laminectomy with bone spurs and 6 levels fused and that was horrible but I made it so am thinking it cannot be as bad as that. BTW you look great and I will keep updates coming.

October 4, 2016

Try to have everything set up by your bed and if possible avoid stairs for a couple of weeks. It is painful but with the painkillers you will be fine. Keep the incision CLEAN! to avoid infection and take it easy. My before was just like yours and looks amazing now. The important thing is do NOT gain a single pound after. Maintain your weird or it looks really bad after. Weigh daily and DO NOT gain weight after the tuck.

October 4, 2016

My hopes are to loose some more weight and I think I have about everything I will need just have a to pick up my food for afterwards. Lots of fruits and vegis plus will make sure I get my protein. Thanks for you advise.

October 4, 2016

Good luck please show us lots of pictures I'm thinking of doing this ??

October 4, 2016

Thank you and I will.

October 15, 2016

My stomach was very similar to these photos the rest of me was small . Feel so strange to have it gone ! Had my op in Prague I'm from uk . Im day 19 today hope you are well x

October 22, 2016

My stomach is in the same shape as yours and I know that feeling :( I am looking into the tummy tuck. I am wondering how much you had to pay , I know the medium is 5,500 but I was just trying to feel out from someone who looked more like me.

October 22, 2016

Mine was $8500 but I did have it done in the US to afraid to leave the country. Worth every dime I have spent and would do it again. Good luck to you.
