I finally took the plunge and scheduled my TT for...

I finally took the plunge and scheduled my TT for Dec 17th. I had a BA/BL in June and feel great. I Was convinced I didn't need a TT and could work my way into flat abs. After much research and discussion with my PS, I finally conceded. This loose skin will never conform to its old ways.

I love my PS, so I'm returning to him for my TT. My BA/BL surgery in June was a breeze, so im hoping the TT wI'll be as well (wishful thinking I'm sure). I have a long wait in store, so im going to continue on my fitness journey so that I'm in the best shape I can be by December. It'll be much better to go through recovery in the winter vs. summer. I have about 10-15 lbs to lose to then. I run 15-20 miles a week and strength train 2-3 days a week. Still lots of loose skin in ab area with plenty of jiggly fat. I'm 5'8" and currently 165lbs.

I hope to lose a few pounds prior to surgery, at 165 now...I'd be thrilled if I was between 150-155. It seems anytime I get close to 160 I get majorly stuck! I guess I'm always in a semi -flexed state, it almost feels weird to let it all hang out and be completely relaxed. When I check for an separation it only feels like I had 1, maybe 2, fingers separation. Will be interesting to see what my PS says.

Lots of stretch marks. I hope most of them go away and I don't get new ones from the actual surgery, I'm totally stretch mark prone.

Two more fun photos

Laying down for full stretch mark view and leaning over...blob! These days just can't pass fast enough....sigh!

I'm so glad I trusted Dr D!!! He has completed my Mommy Makeover with expert precision. His scarring is expertly placed and beautifully thin. Both of my recoveries were a breeze and I can't say enough great things about his team. Thank you Dr D for changing my life!!!!
