I filed all the way to Adelaide to see him..he looked so genuine but was scared from complications on flying back to Sydney n my family..So good luck ..had to friends done TT with him n they couldn't be happier

I know quite a few ladies that have and are travelling from interstate to have it done by Mark Moore. Kelley who posted above is from Sydney and having it done next Wednesday. I know of two others flying in on same day. You have to stay a few days in hospital and at least a couple after you get out for post TT care. Haven't heard of any complications from flying out after surgery and your GP will be able to do your post TT care. Good luck with whatever you decide

Hi Karen!
I feel your nerves, I'm having a mini TT with dr Moore two days before you on the 15th!!! I was so excited to see your story, made me feel a bit better. Are you having a full TT done or a mini? I'm curious with the cost comparison? Is $4200 your total fees or just dr moores fee?
Thanks
Kelley

Hi Kelley. Nerves is an understatement. I'm having a full TT with the possibility of a FDL and MR. It depends on Mark Moore and what he finds when I'm on the operating table. If he sees I need muscle repair then he will do it. He thinks the TT will be enough for my body shape but I will have another talk with him on Friday before surgery. I know a couple of ladies getting done on the Wednesday as well. Mark will be a busy man. He flies off to Darwin and then overseas on Saturday. $4200 is just Marks fee. I will get some of that back through Medicare. Still have Anaethitist Fee and my gap for my hospital stay. How much is a mini TT ? Good luck with it all. Are you having it done at Calvary or Burnside. I'm at Calvary. Maybe we will bump into each other if in same hospital.

Wow! You're a lot more informed than I am Karen! How do you know his schedule? Lol. I barely got a few words out of him! What is this tape you have? I don't have anything like that but I want it if it helps......I think I'm first on his list on Wednesday as i have to be there at 7am...my fee for the mini is $2,750 and then all those other expenses on top. Im going to Calvary, how bout you? I must admit, i have terrible anxiety and I'm beating myself up asking why im doing this to myself for cosmetic purposes. My husband keeps telling me not to do it which doesn't help either. I'm very scared. I hope I don't lose it on the day. I don't like anaesthetic and worrying about problems post op. Hmmmmm....

Why did i think you were from Sydney. Lol. Anyway I still know if a few flying in from interstate and have done so in the past. I'm sure it will be all ok.

How do you feel today Karen? Was it hard calling and postponing the surgery? Did you set a new date?
April 12, 2015
Thanks for your reply. I know but Dr Moore told me some may have hematoma which needs to be drained n I know that's a normal complication of this type of surgery..my GP refused to look after such a thing n then post op follow up ..lots of things to think about n my twins still 3.5 yrs..mine will be full TT with MR n BB hernia fix..So long recovery n very poor skin ...lots to think about ..take care n keep us updated..xox

One week to go.
Starting to get real. Have begun to buy things in preparation for my hospital stay and post TT care at home. New nighty since I will have drains and can't wear pants. Lotions and potions and dressings and tapes for the scar repair to take place. This weekend will start making meals to freeze for my kids to heat u when I can't get up and cook. Need to think about packing my hospital bag. Roll on next Friday.
Welcome to the community. So glad to have you here with us and I look forward to watching your journey take place. You take all the time you need for your journey because this is not a race.
