WORTH IT$7,875
I just had my TT done on Thursday, 10-11-12. So far everything has gone as expected. I have had 2 c-sections in the past. After reading a few stories many said it was easier than an c-section. I would have to agree, the only difference is you have drains and your abs are sore all the way up to your breasts. Am very excited to see my results. I worked very hard to get to my goal weight, but there was nothing I could do about the excess skin from my 1st pregnancy. I just wanted my stomach area to match the rest of me. This is my journey & I hope it helps someone else.

I forgot to mention that I did have lipo on my flanks, which would explain the bruising you will see in my side pic. I don't have much bruising on my right side, but my left side is heavily black and blue.

Wow, you look great. Please keep posting, love to hear about the rest of your journey. You look small to begin with, how much was your weight before surgery?
October 15, 2012
Well I have a lot of muscle mass, I've always weighed more than the average chick. I was down to 136 which would probably be equivalent to a 115-120lbs average girl. That is the lowest I have ever been, I was really working my butt off to compensate for my stomach. Inhad stabilized my weight for 5yrs. But, the smallest water retention or 1lb gain and I could just see my stomach bloat. It was time & I knew there was a really awesome waist under there & I wouldn't have to work out so damn hard if I got this procedure done. I was just waiting to be done with the kids & funds. I will keep posting. & nice profile pic btw, lol!

My problem exactly. I have lots of muscle mass and weight in at 135, I'm only 5'0. I definitely need to lose weight but all of it is in my belly. I'm on a low calorie diet but still exercise 5 days a week. I would like to be 125 for my surgery in December. BTW, that's what I looked like before by nose job and eye lid surgery.... LOL

You might want to consider a new PS for your TT, lol! I'm gonna post a pic of my muscles. I'm 5'6. I literally would get light headed cuz I was working so hard. I'm super healthy & I'm vegan. But, I finally realized I just can't do this any more. I'm killing myself & i seeiously had no more weight to loose. I've always known I wanted a TT, but after stabilizing my weight for 5 yrs & finally having the body I've always wanted, except the stupid stomach..... I told my husband it's time & I need to do this now. He said ok.
October 16, 2012
I know. My husband got tired of me looking in the mirror and getting depressed over my abs that he finally said go for it. LOL I have a consult with another PS on Monday the 22nd of October. 2 of them already said it has to be a modified TT because no fat and no skin. Monday is the PS that I want to do my surgery, I can't wait to see what he has to say. I will start a review/journal as soon as I have a confirmed date and show everyone my belly.... LOL

Wow, just saw your last pictures. Yep, no body fat. Good for you. You look awesome!
October 16, 2012
Well, don't know how good I'm gonna look after sitting on my ass for 6 weeks & eating like a cow, lol!
October 17, 2012
Stop that! LOL. I'm really going to miss boot camp and spinning. I think I should be back spinning 2 weeks after surgery, I'm going to try anyway.

We will see, as soon as Dr clears me I'm going back to gym. But, idk if she's actually going to let me jog. Walking won't do crap for me. But, it's worth it. I'll be motivated to test drive this new figure.

Thank goodness I can still post and eat at the same time!!!! LOL! Ok...really...back away from the Oreos!!!

I'm just posting a few pics to show that I really did go as far as I could go with my stomach, I worked out so hard. My first born is what ruined my stomach, I gained 62lbs on top of being a good 40-50lbs over weight to begin with. My weight would yo-yo, but I never truly lost t all the weight & kept it off. 5yrs ago I decided to become vegan & I lost over 70lbs & never yo-yo'd again. So as you can see it became very psychological for me to see toned & ripped muscles everywhere, but still this hideous stomach. I'm just so happy to be on the road to recovery & eventually be back in the gym to work on a six pack!!

I'll be taking another shower today. Hopefully, I can spend more time scrubbing & getting the drawing marks off me. The hardest thing now is my lower back, I can't take standing up for long w/o holding on to something. I like to think I'm a fast healer, so I'll take another pic today.

Thanks ladies!!! I feel pretty darn good thanks to y'all's awesome encouraging comments!
