Hi everybody! I'm new here, my tt journey is...
Hi everybody! I'm new here, my tt journey is shorter than most, I just started looking into the procedure last Nov. I'm very small-framed, and very short, and was all belly when pregnant with each of my kids. I had an issue after my first, but then the problem became very pronounced after my second. I get asked CONSTANTLY when I'm due. No joke, I get asked, on average, at least once a week. It just really was starting to affect my self esteem, and I couldn't understand why my belly just wasn't going down. So I asked my family dr, and she referred me to a PS. I saw two separate surgeons, and really liked both. They both said I had a really bad separation, one even said it was one of the worst he had ever seen. I've got a 6" gap between my muscles. So I booked my surgery for July 22nd, which actually just happens to be my 9th wedding anniversary, haha. What a great gift I'm getting this year! I will try to post pictures later, I havent taken any yet. So I just wanted to say hi!
Ok...some pictures. Ugh.
Figured I might as well post some pictures of the awful truth...good lord these are bad. Why do we always think we are skinnier until confronted with photographic proof?
Got my paperwork in the mail! And a question about sun exposure...
I got all my pre op paperwork in the mail! Dang, there is a ton of stuff you can't do before surgery. Only thing that is going to suck is the germ-inhibiting soap - I have really dry skin, and that type of soap dries out even more. The fact that I can't use any lotion the day of my surgery plus showering with that soap is going to suck.
Does anybody know about sun exposure before surgery? I know you have to limit sun exposure afterwards, but I was considering tanning a little beforehand just so I won't look like a ghost for the rest of the summer. Is that ok?

Provider Review
I love Dr Elluru, he's been wonderful through the whole process. He's really personable and funny, and sets realistic expectations. His staff are all really nice and return phone calls right away. It's been a great experience and I'm so glad I chose him as my surgeon.
