WORTH IT$13,400
I'm an older mom--age 51. Childbirth and losing 120 lbs took a toll on my body. I'm having BL and TT. Since I have 8" gallbladder scar I'm having a fleur de lis TT. Will be trading 1 scar for another but excited about a flat stomach--nervous too. Wanted this for 10 yrs. I hope its right thing to do.

Had my procedures today. Feeling better than I expected. Dr. T and his staff were great throughout the process. His male nurse named Sid was especially wonderful. Dr. T called me tonight to see how doing. I told him feeling great. He warned me that I will "hate" him tomorrow once the local anesthesia wheres off so we will see.

Welcome to Dr T fan club. I have an appt with him next week and I have been following his patients on here too - everyone raves about him. I am 51 as well and won't be doing it until June just because of things going on in my life right now, but I am excited to meet him and see what he recommends for me. Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks never to late. You will absolutely love Dr. T. I look forward to hearing about your journey when you have your procedure.

Day 2 post-op and I'm still feeling better than expected. I had a catheter which I was able to take out today. Have been urinating frequently and overall pain is tolerable. So I guess Dr. T was wrong because all's good and I don't hate him. :-)

Day 4 post-op and I'm feeling better everyday. Have decreased pain meds because not feeling much pain--just a little discomfort. Still wearing binder and breast are all wrapped up so there's really nothing to show. I have the one drain and it looks good. Dr. T says will take it out next week when I see him on Thursday. I always had an adjustable bed, so that has been helpful for getting in and out of bed. Also had a large chair put in my bedroom with a leg rest which makes it nice to get out if the bed for a while. After day one I had a little phlegm in my throat which hurts to cough up, so make sure to blow in sphincter thing doctor gives you to prevent pneumonia. Got it under control, which is good. Something you should definitely get is a raised toilet seat so you don't have to bend down so far and use your stomach muscles to get up. Also, get one of those grabber items to pick things up off the floor. It helps a lot. Overall I'm feeling great and have no regrets.

My appointment is at 11:15 at his Rockville office, so I'll probably will be gone by the time you arrive. Dr. T. just called me a few minutes ago to see how I'm doing and I told him that all is good. I really appreciate his attentiveness and think you will be pleased if you select him as your surgeon. He talks fast, but is very thorough and won't rush or pressure you into anything you're not ready for.
How exciting! Congrats on losing that weight! When is your surgery scheduled for?
