ORIGINAL POST

I am so ready for my TT. Hello ladies, I'm new to...

I am so ready for my TT. Hello ladies, I'm new to RS, but I have been reading a lot since I made the decision to have my TT done. Today, I paid my deposit and my surgery date is scheduled for 3/20/15. I am having a full TT and lipo on flanks. I am a mother of 4 (19,17,10,6) and this has been long overdue. I love everything about my body EXCEPT my stomach. After having 2 C-sections, I was left with a huge pouch (Will post pics later). No matter how much I diet and exercise, it just wont' go away. So, I've decided to do something about it. I've actually been thinking about for the past 10 years, but God knew best because I met my hubby and had my little girl. Well, after 2 boys and 2 girls, I shut it down and had my tubes tied! I'm not trying to be a super model or recapture my 20's. I've always been "hippy" and "curvy" and I actually like the rest of my bod....but the 20 muffins have to go! Will post pics later. So happy to have a support system here on RS, because this a life changing event. I get emotional now just thinking about it. My hubby is concerned, but supportive. I'll take it! :-)

Are you from the Miami area? Or will you have to travel there and back?

Oh..ok...sounds great! What are you having done?
January 25, 2015
Tt with lipo. Still searching for the right dr

Gotcha well I went with Wendell Perry for a couple of reasons. He came highly recommended by a few friends, he is Board Certified, and very much hands on after the surgery from what I gather. The pics he showed me of his work were amazing and he really concentrates on giving you that hour glass figure. So...I'm not familiar with any other PS, but RS is a good place to start looking. Best of luck! TTFN

I'm having a Drainless TT the same day as you :) Not getting any other procedures.
February 17, 2015
Oh wow. Yep we'll be going flat together. Will definately have to keep up with each other. My PS doesn't do drainless. He said I'll have 2, so much for that. Lol.

Will be interesting to see what drainless vs drain recovery differences are! Let's definitely keep in touch! What time is your surgery? Mine is 730am MST.

Deposit paid and countdown begins.

So I just paid my deposit and it's official. I feel a lot excited a little nervous all in one. It seems so far a way, but I know it'll go by quick. I'm hoping to lose at least 10 to 15 lbs before that day. Truth, I hate exercising but if I can manage walking 4 or 5 times per week for at least 30 min that'll be good. I'll keep you posted as my emotions fluctuate, I'll write it all down. TTFN!

Ok...so here's me @ 217lbs as of this morning. For some reason, since paying the non refundable deposit today and setting a date, I feel like I am determined to lose at least 10 lbs prior to my TT. I paid too much money to not lose what I can and be serious about it.

You can do this! Check out my profile, I'm a curvy/bigger gal too. I started out 223, prior to my first surgery (Breast reduction). I followed that with a TT/MR in Jan 2014, and just had multiple area lipo 3 weeks ago. The surgeries enabled me to get moving/exercising and I'm now down to 191! These surgeries are life changing and help in ways much more than just physical. Best wishes and keep us posted on your progress. :-DSuzy
