HI ALL!
I am very excited as I finally got my surgery date: September 27. I have my pre-op 9/19 and thank to this forum I have a ton of questions for Dr. lee.
I am 39 years old, mother of a wonderful 12 year old girl. Ia m5'9" 164 lbs. I am a very active woman, runner, big skier. I was not thinking of having a TT but husband brought it up as a "gift" for my 40s. I promised him I was going to think about it and scheduled a consult with Dr. lee. I really liked him so I said to myself:"heck, why not?".
I had a lipoprotein 2 years ago that eliminated a big pack of fat I had on my lower belly due to my pregnancy. I gained 70 pounds with my daughter and I haven't been able to go back to my original 150 lbs. I run everyday 4-7 miles but my skin is really all over the place and I have love handles that I hate!
My expectations for my surgery are very realistic but it's what I need to start working on my 6pack :) . Anyway, I will be posting pro-op pics before the surgery. Wish me luck, this board will be a great post op therapy ;)

I had this surgery simply because I really liked the guy, how straight forward he is, to the point he is, no bells, no whistles. I have seen him and only him every time I was in his office. My surgery was on Friday and he asked me to come on Sunday to his clinic, just because he wanted to ensure my post op was going accordingly. A Sunday! His bedside manners are fantastic, he's meticulous, professional and very affordable. I read great reviews about him so I know my gut feeling was wright, he will do the best he can.

Well I know that feeling, that's why I started running. It made me feel that I was doing something to improve my health and shed some pounds. I do not want to be a model, just want to look healthy and feel healthy and powerful. Running can do that for you. I am getting this TT because I have this bag of fat that does not want to dissolve. I could certainly use the money I am using in this procedure for something else like a vacation with my family. However, there is a point where we women must say" you know what? I am going to do something for me. To hell everybody! :) hope that your journey is successful!

Getting restless

Ok, so I have my pre-op scheduled for Thursday 9/19 and I am pretty busy at work, certainly have plenty to do between now and my surgery and for the life of me, I want to get this thing done now.
I went to the supermarket to get my iron supplement, arnica Montana, and some vitamin C. Got some turmeric for after the surgery.
Since I have had a AL before I know what is in store for me. Days of feeling icky, worthless and uncomfortable. Yikes! How is everybody else feeling?
