WORTH IT$8,200
6-mo post op and very glad I did this surgery. Still having a few mild twinges of pain in abdomen, down the front, so have refrained from any exercise except walking.

What has the TT done for me: self confidence...
What has the TT done for me: self confidence boost, smiling and happier, energy level exceeding all previous limits, new wardrobe full of COLOR and in all styles of articles (shorts, crops, and full length, long sleeves, short sleeves, and sleeveless); from one pair of shoes (othropedic black ugly) to so many pairs of all kinds my closet is running out of room. Formerly I wore black stretch pant ONLY, and a few short-sleeve tops ONLY in black, dk brown or dk blue. This is a complete 360 degree change in me. It's a miracle I still have trouble believing is actually real.

Hello Edmonton! Question: can new tummy get burned or pink in sun even if swimsuit is covering it? Was curious as yesterday I wore tankini to make sure scar was covered while I tanned legs (15 min each side), but when I came in, I had a bright pink area about 4-inch square between scar and belly button. It went away after awhile, thankfully. Was wondering if I should put SPF 100 lotion on it even if swimsuit covering it???? May also be just a worrywort - LOL.
Been thinking TT should come with a handbook or pamphlet of set instructions and guidance. A Q & A Guide, similar to what Kimmers25 already has, but more in depth, with photos of stuff, like the 'dog ears', belly button variances, different incision styles, drains, etc. All in one place - LOL. Thank goodness fellow TT, MM, and BA are willing to share experiences and photos. What a Godsend that it is.

Cheryl, I read that most clothing only blocks about 30% of the sun's rays. If I'm in my swimsuit only, I lather on the sunscreen before putting on the suit. I don't do that with my regular clothes tho since scars are covered by undergarments & shorts/tops. I bought my hubby a watersports shirt that has sunblock in it. I'm looking for regular shirts too. He's been wearing it playing golf.

NanaMakeover, I'm going to add the sunscreen lotion to the tummy, then the swim suit. Along the line of your hubby's shirt with sunblock in it, I wonder if there is a tape, like the tape I used on incision, that has sunblock built into it. That sure would be handy, especially with scars elsewhere on the body, like my knee. Thank you, it was great to hear from you!! Happy 4th!

Hey Cheryl yup you can burn through skimpy clothes LOL. If your worried about the burning then by all means put the sunscreen under the suit! I am a Red head and do nothing but burn so it wouldn't bother me LOL.
And yes a full manual on what to ask and how to choose the right PS and all the after stuff would be so cool. Other than every PS has a different outlook on things. I did leave a message at the PS office this morning and no answer yet ;0)

Edmonton, you're a HOT red head now, don't ever change! Due to burning, does that mean you mow in the shade - LOL. Have you gotten any sun yet? I thought of sending 15 degrees your way the other day!! Yeah, we need a manual.

On knee, just $600 co-pay so not too bad for me, just for ins. co., but I'd rather save that $600 towards the breast/arm lift - LOL. I'm ok with leave off work, I have enough for both thigh surgery and knee surgery. Then save back up for breast/arms - sigh. Everything just takes so long to heal!
Trying not to think about thighs, because I so want it right now. It is so hard waiting!!! Today was last day of school - whoa - are you ready! The kitten and puppies won't know what to do with the kids there all day, every day! You must be a really busy mom. It's all good tho, sometimes I wish I had a little one or two around, or at least nearby. I think it helps keep us young.
I can't find the spot to 'private email' you with msg. Are you able to???

Only another tt gal can appreciate what you say about sneezing / coughing. Almost 3 wks out now from my full tt and the fear of a allergy attack are no longer my biggest fear. LOL
So, how have you been????? Are you and kids doing ok? You are still moving forwards towards your dream? BTW, I absoultely LOVE lying in his arms at night and told him so. Sure was hard to come home. Been way too many years for me and am so glad I worked to regain my body back!! I so hope your own journey moves forward and love works out, if not today, at least in near future. You take real good care of yourself!!!
