I'm so glad I found this website, it has given me so much needed information and has helped me truly understand how recovery should go.

I'm 52 years old. I'm 5'4" and weigh 155lbs. Have 5 kids, ages range from 32, 28, 27 and twins that are 24. Fantastic support from my family who understand my frustration with this tummy of mine that needs to go. I have wanted to get a TT for the last 5 years but the cost was always in the way. This year my hubby sold his motorcycle and gave me the funds so I could book the surgery.

I eat well, work out 5-6 times a week, tummy doesn't want to leave me lol. All the weight I gained from pregnancies was lost. The twins did a number on my stomach, even though I only gained 28 lbs when carrying them.

I like my surgeon and clinic where I will be having TT. Clinic is only 35 minutes away from home. It will be easy getting to and from follow up appointments.

Thank you so much for joining us and beginning your journey here.  You will love the results and I can't wait to see the after pictures.  December 28th is going to be here so quickly.

I'm in awe of you! I ride a motorcycle and like most riders, it is my passion. For your husband to sell his so he can pay for your surgery is incredible! You're very blessed to have such amazing support! My husband fought me tooth and nail over having this surgery. I had to postpone my surgery because he wouldn't co-sign a loan for me. More recently he started to reconsider and has agreed to help me save the money here and there. I suppose that's a good start. I'm going to need him on board. Good luck next month. I hope to being having mine Feb 23

Thank you Grammaj, I do have a great support person in my husband. He doesn't really understand why I want to do this because he says I look beautiful but he also understands why're bothers me personally on a daily basis. Good luck, I wish you the best.

I started to wear it around 4-5 weeks. The garment the ps gave me was just getting to big for me.

Cannot believe surgery is in 28 days. Nervous and excited at the same time. I know the first week will be the hardest. I know the drains are going to be frustrating, hope they are not in for long.

Ps office contacted me yesterday and told me that she is only giving me a prescription for T3's. I will be coming home with a pain pump

Feel like crap today, have had a cold for the last week. The week before recovering from a trip from Punta Cana, we all got sick from the trip. So I have been housebound for the last 2 weeks. Hoped to get a lot of gym time in, didn't happen. Hope that all sickness is out of me and I can concentrate on this upcoming surgery. Made the final payment today and now the countdown begins. 16 more day until I hit the flat side
