  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Feeling good/ Round two

Made it thru and feeling good minus the NorCal after effect.

Feeling a little discomfort but to be expected and of course the help of the pain pills.

Thank you all for our prayers. Will do pic soon.

Today's the day, round 2!

Well, I am in the waiting room and will be going in to put on my paper panties in 15 minutes.
I wasn't nervous until we pulled into the parking lot. Not because of the unknowing but because I don't like needles! lol.
I'm enclosing my front pic. I do realize this is where most of you begin but I had a lot to start with.
Because of my old gall bladder removal surgery the the cut into my side, it restricts what can be done in conturing. I am sure Dr Yamahata will do his best. He is an excellent doctor and I have asked the Lord God to help him.
I'm grateful for even more shaping and for having the mass removed.

See you on the "flat" side!

Round 2: Going in for revision tomorrow!

Ok, ROUND TWO!
I am going in for revision tomorrow. I have posted pics for my starting point of round 2. I am so grateful for even this stage as compared to the huge mass I had at the beginning of this journey last year.
Again, "no poster child and barbie doll" girl expectation here. I am all about health. But I am grateful that Dr. Yamahata is going to make this look even better than now.

Being it is my 2nd round I am not experiencing any anxiety or hesitations. Frankly, I seem to can't remember much of the 'after surgery' experience, at all. I am, however; doing everything I needed to do the first time in preparation for tomorrow. I am beginning my enema steps and will begin my stool softeners today. I am preparing my cucumber water for the welling. I can't recall much of anything else but am glad I still have my walker and will have it ready next to my recliner. I do remember that. We have rearranged the living room into a bedroom for me as I do recall not being able to sleep in the bed the first fews days/weeks.
So, once more, seasoned TT'ers, please pray for me and if there are any of you out there that are still on this site, who have had a revision done, please chime in. I can use all the guidance for care I can get. And to all who will be going in... I pray that you have an easy and smooth transition and quick healing.

I found Dr Yamahata by website because I Was pleased with several reviews I read on his TT performance of female body types same as my own. But over the period of going through my process, I felt like I was with a man who cared about me and my outcome but also wanted me to be realistic and was willing to share how i can get to where I want to be, realistically But not at the expense of my health. I appreciated that so much. When we met to do the marking, we had a moment for questions and answers which at this point I had no more questions because he had already did a pretty good job at explaining to me in details what to expect but he was so patient and kind. I felt like it was a very fatherly and comforting moment right before going under for surgery that really put me at ease.
