Updated Pics TT & More

Hey folks. I seen my TT surgeon today and she removed 1 of the tubes. Was a bit of a sting when it came out but I am glad to get rid of it. I have 1 more to go and I hope it will be gone by next Monday God willing. Here is a link to my photo book you can see the updated pics of the TT on the After TT album the newest ones are near the bottom. You can see how drastic the change is from the first pic. There is still alot of swelling but I am totally happy. There are more pics in the various pic album of me just being me and happy finally. I am trying to keep my log detailed for those getting ready to go thru this. I wish I had something like this to look at so I hope my honesty and openess in this issue guides some other people. Love ya'll NAT http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=natttpics

Your TT looks great!! You are so pretty I hope you continue to do well! Keep posting updated pics. I am scheduled for 9/22 for a LBL, with muscle tightening, and hernia repair, brachioplasty, breast lift, and medial thigh lift. I am so excited, and hope to lose 5 more pounds before then. I know I can do it, I have just about 3 months. How was the pain? Tricia 247/135/130

Hey Tricia, Are you having this done all at once. If so wow your a trooper that is alot of work at 1 time. Have you discussed the pain management method your doc used. I like the pain pump cathader she had in my tummy that stayed in for 3 days feeding me pain meds. This helped terribly. I was virtually pain free. Congrats to you and your surgery I know you will feel and look like a brand new person. This is exciting... NAT

Thanks for sharing the photos. I have seen the PS for the TT consult and she thinks that I will get approved and take care of my folds with it. I just hope to get it done before November when my insurance changes again. -Gerriann 170 pounds gone forever! and lovin it!

Well good luck to you and your approval. Keep us updated can't wait to hear the results. How long is the approval expected to take. It's only July almost you still have 5 months. You should be just fine. Good Luck to you. NAT

WOW Nat, Your new tummy looks great. I know you must feel wonderful about this part of your journey. You will have to buy some new fitted shirts and smaller jeans too. Christie
