So my anxiety got the best of me and I am currently waiting. Not only was it anxiety but my grandma has been admitted to icu. My mom has been a complete basket case as her and my grandma are extremely close. My mom has a hard time with sickness and death since my baby sisters un expected death a few years ago. So I cant be there for my mom or grandma if I am nervous or recovering. At this point I will wait till end of summer so I can enjoy my pool and the lake. As well as my grandson coming for the summer from AZ. I will keep following you all and watch your progress. Pray for those getting ready thanks ladies

It really isn't bad. Yes, you're sore at first but it isn't horrible and the results are well worth it! I'm so happy every morning I wake up and check out my new tummy like it's Christmas morning or something lol! Go for it, you won't regret it!

You didn't have lipo or muscle repair that's what hurts, definatly something you have to mentally prepaid for recovery is hard but worth it as hard as it's been it's worth the results

Hi, I'm 37 almost 38, 5'4 130lbs, very healthy and have worked since my early 20's. I have had 2 children, did not gain over 35lbs with either pregnancy. I had a mini TT with umbilical float, full muscle repair from breast bone down to pubic and lipo of the flanks on April 16th, I'm 7 wks po. I too had anxiety terribly before my operation, obsessive & exhausting thinking about it and researching. I was unsure a mini would give me the results I was looking for, but my ps suggested that is what I should go with. Disappointingly, it did not give me the full results. My muscles are tight and flat, which is awesome, but still left with too much of that unwanted loose skin, especially above bb:( I'd advise you to rethink going with just a mini. If you're going to do it, make sure its done right the first time. You have not posted pics, but I'd be very surprised with having 3 pregnancies and 80 lbs of weight fluctuation that you don't have some degree of diastasis recti along with a fair amount of loose skin. Trust me the recovery is NOT that bad (Don't let all you read freak you out about it!) the lipo or muscle repair, yes it hurts the first few days, getting up & down & getting around, the lipo areas are just real tender to the touch, it's not like you just sit there all day in agonizing pain. A mini will give you very MINImal results, especially with no muscle repair. I don't know how many different surgeons you've had consults with about this surgery but do yourself a big favor and see at least a few if you haven't already. And be honest with yourself and your surgeon about the results you want, don't short yourself if your main concern is an easier recovery or shorter scar, or whatever the reason is you're going with the mini, unless thats truly all you need. it's certainly not worth it if your not going to be completely happy and get the results you want. My ps, who is a well know well qualified ps has already agreed the mini was not enough for me, a revision is planned for sometime early next year to convert to a full TT and hopefully my belly button will survive it! I hope this has been helpful and has giving you some insight. Best of luck to you!

Good to hear grandma is better. I think if you just click on my name it should go to my profile, I have posted a few diff questions to docs, there are pics with my questions, I think you need to click on the questions individually to see pics, I don't believe I have any before pics on there, I didn't join untill after my surgery. I started reading your comments and then read that you had canceled your surgery for now and I just felt that I should share my experience with you, hoping not to cross lines or be nosey, but maybe prevent someone/you from going through my same situation.

So one week be for my mtt lipo no muscle repair. My OCD is still kicking but I do find myself getting excited at times too. I have wanted this for sometime I actually had lipo scheduled at the time of my BA reversion a few years ago. Yhe doctor who did my reversion (different dr that did first BA) said lipo would tighten my skin and I would not be happy with scar cause he could tell by my attitude :/. Needless to say i had the same type of anxiety OCD as I do now. And the morning of surgery I chickened out of both. A year later I went back to him for the BA reversion but opted out of the lipo. The cnra was amazing got me high and had surgery. Since then i tried red light therapy to tighten skin and loose the little fat i have. It worked for a few days but was not permanent . So here I am a year later and scheduled for next monday. I find my self looking in mirror asking do I really need this? Is it worth it?? How much pain?? How long before I can be back in gym?? Then I pull the skin taunt and imagine the little bit of fat gone and for a brief minute I gwt excited and say d amn I will be hot ;) . Then intrusive thoughts vicious cycle. Any ways I told my husband if the dr called tomorrow and said they had a cancellation I jump at it just to STOP THIS RIDICULOUS OBSESSIVE THOUGHT S. I have told a lot of people I am not ashamed . Well that's all for tonite gonna look through some reviews and check on sone people I have been following. Good night ladies .
