TT & Splenectomy scar revision,Age 37, 2 Kids, Portland, OR

Seems a lot of us feel like that. I remember when I went for my breast reduction a decade ago the surgeon said "Any last questions?" before I went into surgery. I responded "Is it too late to back out?!?!" and I was probably only half joking. But it was so worth it, and I know I'll eventually feel the same about the TT. Vanity doesn't play into it for me. I know that after my breast reduction I was a happier, healthier person. I know the TT will be the same thing. I think the cost is worth it if you come out a "better" person. Amortize that over the next 40 years and it's about $0.68/day. That's worth it. :)

I know the feeling I was 119 5 ft 3 an many thought it was vain or unneeded but it's about you and feeling good about yourself. Each day gets better.

Don't be you matter !! The day of my surgery I had this sinking feeling what am I doing I am perfectly healthy an I am choosing to cut open. My nurse looked at me and said you are not always be many feel this wAy just before

LOL. I'm feeling the same way. WAY too many conversations with strangers about fibre powder and stool softeners. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow! I'm excited to hear about your experience.

I did find protein drinks and protein bars helped because I wasn't eating much and your body needs it to help in healing process. Stayed with my mirlax every night and in a few days things got normal but damn I sure was nervous about that first bm. You will do great just let yourself heal. My biggest issue was the post op depression which is normal. Best of luck in your healing process.

Oh I know the feeling- my TT is next week though! Excited and nervous! I also live in the Portland area. Good luck tomorrow!
