Monday is the day for me to say bye to my ugly ugly stomach skin. talked to the surgeon he is doing the T incision on me to pull up my back fat and to be able to remove fat. I am scared to death but willing to do this. was told the pain is so bad I hope he is wrong.

I go in Monday at 9:30 operation will be round 11:30. Excited and scared.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

You will do fine. Just think positive and the outcome 3 months down the road! I still have a year out (Dr. Said I will losing up to 18 months out, I'm only 7 months out) before I can even think about my TT! Good luck to you!

yes my back with the T he pulls my back up and he told me he removes alot of UN needed fat sounds sick to me. I am taking pictures tomorrow of the me now lol. I will post them but should I post them now or side by side after a few weeks?

as for brave if the insurance did not pay for this it would not be getting done. Believe me I have been thinking of canceling it. I am so scared of the pain.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

i had a fleur de lis TT in march (i called it my "T-section")... i am not at goal, but i had to have my gall bladder out, so my wls doc did the full TT at the same time -- and got my insurance to pay for it! woot.

it is healing nicely, the scar is starting to fade a bit... i have some residual numbness in the skin, mostly on the left side.. as the nerves regenerate, i occasionally get a burning or sometimes itching sensation in the skin there, but it's getting better... he trussed my stomach muscles up pretty tight, so i'm still working on getting them to relax a bit... it affects my posture -- i have to remind myself to stand up straight, even though i feel the muscles stretching...

it probably would have been better to wait, but i actually feel pretty good about it... they took 10.6 lbs of skin off the front of me, and now i have a rockin' hourglass figure, which did wonders for my self esteem....

just take your pain meds and muscle relaxers and follow your post-op instructions and you'll be fine...

My vsg hurt 1000 times more than I had prepared myself for and all I did was read and obsess over it for months and months before my surgery, BUT I would do it again in a New York minute!! lol If I could hop on that table and get a tummy tuck right now knowing the pain, I would do that too! I'm happy for you, if not a little jealous ;) .....but mostly happy! It's a wonderful opportunity, and the pain will be over after a short time, but you will be rocking that new body for the rest of your life!! Enjoy it and best wishes!
