Well Tummy Tuckers, I am officially on the flat side. I DID IT!!! Im in pain right now a little but im feeling much better. When i was in recovery I threw up before I left the hospital then I threw up again as soon as I got home. When i say that was PAINFUL, I mean it was painful. On top of that, they gave me the patch behind my ear and some IV meds for nausea but it didnt work. I feel much better now. I go back to see my PS today at 3:00. hope all goes well. Thanks everyone for all the well wishes. Time to take my meds in a few. I made the mistake of cutting my pill up and it wasnt effective at all. u best believe I wont do that again. Going back to bed. Night All!!!

Hi Smiley777,

I was interested in your post because I hope to have my TT done by Dr. Bottger. How did it end up for you? I did not see any pictures or more updates. Are you happy with his work?

Thank you so much.

Hi LCN, My surgery went well. I was in major pain for about a week. I didnt have a pain pump, i took percocet. The drains were the worst part b/c they are just in the way and the removal was even worse but It was all worth it. I got mines remove about a week after surgery. I havent posted in a long time just been real busy. I am def happy with my results. I am more confident about my body. I forgot all about posting pic but I will post pics since u asked. If u have anymore questions or want more info, send me a message and I will def get back to u as soon as possible.

Thank you, thank you, Smiley777!! You look great!! I am excited now about going forward with Dr. Bottger. My hairstylist had a breast reduction done by him and she has been super-pleased, and would not go to anyone else. Thank you for writing back and posting pictures. You put my mind at ease. Blessings to you, and I'll post about my TT journey soon.

I can't believe in 4 days it will be surgery day...

I can't believe in 4 days it will be surgery day for me. Im still excited but my nerves are starting to set in. Im still trying to get everything in order before then. I plan to get all my daughters hair braided so i wont have to deal with it for a while. They just happen to have picture day on my surgery and they really want to get their picture taken. I was gonna keep them home from school that day but I guess not. Its starting to feel real. Im really having a problem b/c I take Ibuprofen 800 for my bad headaches and back pain from the 3 epidurals I had from 3 c-sections and I can't take aspirin a week before surgery. My headaches haven't bothered me for a while and now that I cant take aspirin, my head has been hurting everyday. Im so tempted to take one but i know I can't. I bought the CVS brand of Tylenol 500mg but it is not working at all. Can't wait til this is finally over. Well...time for me to get up and get my day started. My next post will probably be the night before surgery. Later Ladies....
