Finally figured out how to post my before pictures. I will be taking my after pictures later tonight and post them as well. I am five weeks out from my TT. No problems, just get a little tired in the middle of the day, but no pain, scars are healing nicely. I had the greatest moment yesterday. I was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt that went just to about an inch past my waistline. I was walking towards a mirror and decided to swing my hips a little. I swear I looked like something out of the movies - it looks so good to have gotten rid of all that fat in the middle of my body. No muffin top, instead I have a 25 inch waist. I loved every second of it. Well, until I realized a couple of women were watching me and I am sure thought I was very weird. :-)

Can't wait to see more pics! Looking good. Ive been set on a tt/BA and Dr R was on my consultation list. Was he agressive with lipo? Did you get lipo? Love to hear more. Thx Kathypullin.

Didn't get lipo. I would highly recommend Dr. Rand. I was able to ask tons of questions, review photos, etc. No pressure. I was happy with the results, and have felt from the beginning we were working together to get what I wanted. If you have any specific questions, fire away, more than happy to help you out! :-)

It's been a few weeks. Everything went well, not a lot of pain. I'm swollen still by about four inches on my waist. Yes, I measured. :-) Mostly I am taking it easy, getting a walk in everyday not pushing it. The scars look fine, very thin. I will try to post pictures later, I haven't figured out how to do that yet. :-). My doctor and his office have been great with the follow up. If you're thinking of a TT and live in Western Wa, I would recommend him. Very happy with his work. I intend to have a breast lift with him later this year.

One day to go and I am getting nervous. I was doing math story problems to distract myself, not because I like them but because they take a lot of concentration. However, my answers for the last three story problems were “who cares”, “no really, who cares?” and “the three things in life I’m sure of are death, taxes, and that I care nothing for story problems”. I’ve decided to switch to housework to distract myself.

Thank you for the encouragment! everything when well, not too much pain when I got home, just slept lot. I will be posting pictures later on. By the way two helpful hints for people. First, if you have to cough or sneeze, roll your body in a ball, like a potato bug, the pain is far less on your belly. And second, no beef for the first few days, very hard to digest better to eat chicken and fish.
