Hey ladies! My name is Kris and I'm 31 years old with 2 kids, ages 5 and 8. I've wanted this for 8 years now and the time has come! My pre-op is 5/13 and surgery 5/22. I'm counting down the days/hours/minutes/seconds; it's all I can think about! I think I'm over the nervous stage and am more excited than anything. I've learned ALOT from you ladies....just reading all of posts and the many tips and tricks. As soon as I can figure out how to upload pictures from a Mac I will post the before pics. I'm very pleased with my PS who Dr. John Fagg. If anyone has had any work done by him, please let me know. He answered my questions and I didnt feel rushed. I got a chance to look at some of his pre/post op photos of patients and they look great. He comes highly recommended so I went for it! I look forward to hearing from all of you and cant wait to be FLAT AGAIN! :)

It's the waiting that is the worst. But each day I have to wait, which is May12th, I have something planned, Weekends off for fun. I want my house cleaned, summer clothes ready for wear - winter clothes, a lot to Good Will, because of TT & mastopexy lots will be too big. Until then I am starting ons kin rejuvenation by OBAGI NU DERM SYSTEM.. Pics before and after show. Beautiful results, all my doctors staff use it and skin is flawless, youthful etc.just clear of all flaws and even tone. No spots or acne scars. Sounds like I'm pushing the product, but I'm just I'm picking my kit up today, so not used it myself yet, just have seen results in person. I wish you all much patience for the big day. Good results for you..god bless

Hi readytobemeagain... I had my consultation today, 22nd and so excited. I am getting a mini TT and Explantation. My pre-op is April 29 And surgery on May 12 th. I will be going to Scott Tucker, Salem Plastic Surgery, WSNC.. You should really check him out too if dr Fagg is too Expensive. Dr Tucker has an excellent reputation and I've seen before and after pics of TT, does real good surgery. He also saved my leg when I was in a motorcycle accident, his work is beautiful. Any way, please keep in touch, wish u lots of luck & hugzz

Hi angelface1! I am so happy for you! I have heard good things about Dr. Tucker; especially the gorgeous boobs he does, lol. I cant wait to see your after pics. You must not be that bad if you're having a mini...do you have before pics posted? We definitely must keep in touch before and after; you'll already be one day post op when I go for my consult. Super excited for you!!

Thanks! It will be $7200. Now that I've read so many peoples comments, I need to ask if this includes lipo of the flanks; I'm hoping it does. I've seen some of his work when I was there for my consult and I was/am extremely impressed with the 3 month post-op photos. Good luck to you on your journey :)

Hi mbeachly! You will do fine!! I originally wanted to do it in March but realized I was pushing it so I settled for 5/22 with money to save and a few weeks off of work to look forward too! Good luck to you :)

You will look beautiful with your flat tummy. Just expect to feel some discomfort. Don't let yourself get Constipated, the pain pills will cause constipation. MIlk of Mag is gentle, You will need to walk on and off to avoid blood clots in your legs. Drink plenty of fluids and wear your girdle around the clock until all your swelling goes down.. Any questions, ask your Nurses or mention it to us. But really call your doctor post surgery for anything you are concerned about. God Bless and it all will be worth it...
