Extended TT with MR June 27th, 2013 -Sarasota, FL

I am 46 yrs old, mother of 2 ages 19 and 23. I discovered this site a little less than 2 months ago while googling Plastic Surgeons in my area. I have to say without this site I probably wouldn't be moving forward with getting a TT but the information on here and a recent friendship I have made from a fellow TTer on here has sealed the deal. I am ready to get this done!! It is so great to hear real journeys of other women and not rely on the testimonials and before/after photos on PS's websites.
So here's a little background on me: I had very good pregnancies and did not gain a lot of weight (27lbs with the first and 15lbs with the second). However my second child was three inches longer which left me with this ripped/ hanging skin (I am 5'5 and I don't consider myself to have a very long torso). Once my children were in school and we were going from work to sports and getting home late every nite I gained a ton of weight. I was always eating on the go or at the ball field (I know, bad excuse). So a little less than 3 years ago I decided it was time to take care of myself, both of my kids were in college so there were no more excuses. In 7 months I lost 72lbs by cutting out all whites and eating a 1,000 calorie diet. (Easily tracked by an iphone app) Unfortunately after a year and a half I started going back to old habits and gained more than half the weight back. I think even though I was at a my weight goal still having the hanging skin was l so discouraging that it wouldn't have mattered how much weight I lost I wouldn't be happy. So I've been back on my routine and am 16lbs away from where I was.
I have two TT consults scheduled. After meeting someone on here and seeing her amazing results I can't imagine I won't be using that PS. My consult with that PS is just around the corner on April 10th. The other PS I have a consult with is very well known for his great results too and is much closer to where I work (thinking about post-op appointments) but is considerably more expensive and I don't know anyone personally that has had work done by him. I do have a surgery date in mind of June 27th, depending on the quotes I receive will determine if that date is going to work financially. I am wanting a TT but no lipo so I hope that is the recommendation I get from the PS as well.
I am very excited to get this done and looking forward to joining all you ladies on the flat side!!
I am ecstatic to say I have scheduled my TT with...
I have to say I was extremely nervous talking to the nurse in the beginning of my visit but I eventually relaxed a little. I normally don’t react that way going to a doctor, I guess it was the embarrassment of letting it all hang out literally.
Dr. Scott was extremely thorough explaining everything and answered most of my questions before I even had a chance to ask them. He made me feel very comfortable, has a wonderful warm and professional personality and did not try to sell me on additional procedures. He also took the time to show me photos of other TT patients that he has done with my same body type. (No faces, names, completely confidential) My financial quote was a little more than I had hoped for but I do realize this isn’t a “one size fits all” procedure and it will be well worth it. It’s at the absolute ceiling of my budget for my desired date so I just need to be very careful over the next few months. As stated above I have seen his work of a fellow TTer and her results are phenomenal. His staff was very efficient and knowledgeable. I forgot to mention in my initial review that I manage a 5 physician practice with 18 staff so I have a great appreciation of the team supporting the doctor.
For anyone out there who is hesitant on writing a review I never EVER thought I would be let alone posting any pictures of myself but if I had not found this site and read the reviews that inspired me to go for it I would be still just dreaming of getting it done.
So my countdown begins, 78 days until the flat side :)
