WORTH IT$6,500
Having lost 7 stone in weight, I have wanted a TT for over 10 years. I am a small uk size 8-10 and 5ft 11 tall but was left with lose skin I hated.
When I saw Mrs Kat's work, I knew straight away she was the surgeon for me. I arranged an appointment to see her and was very impressed. She was professional and welcoming and made me feel at ease. She explained to me the procedure and how it would work for me and said that I had no fat under the skin and excellent muscle tone (all good things) so the procedure would give good results.
I booked the operation for the 24th June and prepared my body with vitamin C and other healing vitamins.
I had my surgery at Spire little Aston hospital in the Midlands, United Kingdom. The surgery team were brilliant. I am now 6 days post op and feel better then I had expected. I have a lot of swelling so cannot comment on results yet.

I'm so swollen!! I have been swollen since I woke up from surgery. It's quite annoying as I would like to get a clue about my results but I'm just rounded at the moment. I have fluid collection in my thighs too - which is highly attractive, but this reassures me that it is indeed just swelling.
I'm not in any pain anymore. I get the odd pain if I move in the wrong manner and I have general discomfort. I cannot walk straight and I'm not allowed to until after my day 14 check up (because of belly button healing). And I can't remove my garment till then either. I did try and put on some Spanx earlier (to wear beneath) as I think my garment is slightly too big but no way could I get those on with my limited mobility haha.
7 days has come around fast. Just hoping and praying for the swelling to vanish over night and to wake up flat and perfect!
My dressings were changed on Thursday and they get removed on the 8th, which is when I get surgical tape and can have a shower. That'll be one glorious shower!!
It's very odd how everyone seems to follow different rules on here. But everything my surgeon has said is very logical and I trust her implicitly.
Hopefully I'll have some after photos to show soon :)

Today it is much easier to move. I feel less tight and more comfortable. I still haven't attempted standing fully upright (it's still very tight to do that) but I'm happy with the progress. I'm very cautious to keep enough blood going to my belly button.
I have lost 2lbs of water weight and I can see that the swelling has reduce slightly - happy with this :)
I still have an odd looking upper abdomen, as you can see the muscle indentation but it's swollen around it - so looks odd. But I know it'll look good once the swelling diminishes.
Bowl movements have been fine. Haven't had any problems with that at all. I've been taking vitamin C, bromeline, probiotics etc. Maybe this helps with that? But I feel good.
Can't wait for all the swelling to go!

I know, the swelling is the absolute worst early on. Hold on and this shall pass with some time.
I am booked in for my consultation this Monday.
