WORTH IT$3,100
researched on internet, contacted several PS both in UK and abroad. Decided to travel to Tunisia as I speak the language and the cost was within my budget.
So T-Day is just under a week away and I am super nervous, I have developed pityriasis rosea this week and had to go to my own doc... he has said there is no contraindication to surgery so I am hoping everything will be fine. I have emailed my ps to check so at the moment its a fingers crossed. I have been under quite a bit of stress of late though with university work (mature student , furthering her career !!) and Christmas coming up etc etc. I have been reading lots of good journeys on here! so I thought I would start to share mine. I am very nervous as originally I inquired about TT and nothing else then the surgeon suggested a thighlift and lipo to compliment the tt!! as yet I have still not fully committed to having all surgery at once despite having booked the date etc etc ... the ps said after final consult the decision is mine as to what procedures actually get done... Any thoughts advice would e grand ladies!! I have stocked up on supplies of vitamins and am taking arnica vit c and vit d at the moment. I will be travelling alone aswell eeeeeeek! hoping that everything is green for go but will update as soon as I know!

Hey :-) you're all done and dusted now ! How are you feeling Hun ? Hope it's ok and you're not in too much pain xx

Yip I didn't do thigh lift just some lipo...surgeon reckoned that would be enough. Risk too high to do lift long with tt. I am glad he suggested that instead ...cheaper for me and less pain... the pain is mainly coming from lipo sites I think . To be fair trussed up like a turkey so can't tell where it's coming from... got three drains that don't seem to be draining heaps will see tomorrow . Going to try post some pics x

Feeling pretty good . Scar has opened up but no infection and not painful. Been to clinic and they dressed it . Been a difficult recovery that I wasn't prepared for. No amount of prep can prepare you for the emotional roller coaster after the procedure. I am glad I did it and stand by te surgeon who was fantastic . But in hindsight I should have stayed at home to recover rather than taking another two flights to recover with family. I think I have overdone it and that's why wound is opening a bit.
