Hello All, I am scheduled for surgery on 9/14/15...
WORTH IT$6,275
Hello All, I am scheduled for surgery on 9/14/15 with Dr Jonathan Saunders. I am the mother of two children ages 25 and 21. I have wanted a TT for years but I have always been fearful that something would go terribly wrong and I wouldn't be here for my children in their childhood. Now that they are grown I have decided it is time to truly do something for myself. This is the one thing I have done to put myself 1st my entire life and I hope I am able to achieve the flat stomach we all desire. I was 19 when my 1st child was born so I missed the whole look great in a bikini stage of life. This is why I am calling this the bikini body challenge. I try to watch my weight and even when I am lighter my stomach causes me so much embarrassment by the way it sags. I do what I can to hide it in my clothes but I always know it's there. I can only dream of obtaining some of the excellent results I have seen on this site.

Hello, I haven't posted an intro yet but I feel like your intro was my life story in a way. I am 50, 5'7 145 pounds with six kids and have my second consult Tuesday September 8. I'm very excited for you. I am a little disappointed at the lack of support I'm getting from family so have decided not to tell anyone else lol. How about you?

Hello Catherine, thank you for your comment. It's nice to know others have the same story when everyone else thinks I am crazy and that I don't need a TT. My husband is supportive but doesn't get it. I just told my mother a couple of days ago and she thought I might change my mind. I said I won't, I have been ready for this for 25 years. She and the few other family members I told feel the same way but this is my journey, not theirs. I haven't told anyone else, which is why the site is such a good place to share our stories. Good luck at your appt!

Only my immediate family, sister and parents know- at this point I am choosing not to tell my friends. In the past if i ever brought up that I would love a TT they think I'm crazy. "You're so skinny- you don't need one!" So, I'd rather just heal and keep it to myself. We will see how that goes. Good luck to you!

That is how I feel too. Thank you, I hope this next week goes fast.

Hi Dee430, I sure hope so. It would be terrible to go through all this and be disappointed. I am following your recovery. You look great, it helps me feel better about everything. Thank you for your comment and sharing your story. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hi, thank you so much. Now that it is so close I am finding myself worried about all that is to come. I just looked at your pics and you look so good. Today I watched a YouTube video of the surgery and I am not sure that was the best idea. Anyway I have waited way to long to turn back now. I truly hope I have results like yours. Thanks again for making me feel better!

Hi! Although I am a few years older than you I feel like you echo my reasons to finally take the opportunity to do something for myself. My children are also grown and so now its my time. We are similar shape and size...my TT, Mr and lipo surgery is on 9/15- we can go through this together! You have great preop pics to look back on when you are rocking' that bikini bod!

Hi Napmom! Perfect, it will be wonderful to have someone to talk to during this process. It is getting so close now and I just want to get this over with. Of course I caught a cold this weekend so I have been trying to rest as much as possible. I read your review and I can completely relate to the things you say. I too have a sitting in the car pic and it is so bad I didn't even want to post it. Maybe with an after pic in the same outfit. Well the count down is on and I am so ready. Good luck to you!
