it is so worth it. and I had to pay for my TT and it was worth every penny, clothes fit so much better. I can actually cut my own toe nails and polish them. after WLS this was the next best thing I could do. I have had it all done excepty my breasts for some reason they dont need to be done and I am happy cause I wouldnt want implants.
if I could choose only 1 thing I wanted  done it would be a TT

I'm kinda late jumping in here....BUT I say go for it!!! I wasn't going to bother because it wasn't that bad. My insurance surprisingly would pay for the panniculectomy so that is what I did. Even after having 5 babies and 135 pound weight loss, I have a flat belly! I did go for the extended panniculectomy though (belly button moved and all the extra skin removed).

You can't imagine how different it feels to live in my body since having the TT.  If I could only have one procedure it would be the TT!

TOTALLY worth it.  Painful, YES ... but I'd do it over again!

I've read this and re-read this several times. It certainly is needful this morning. Yesterday I was having buyer's remorse (de toxing off pain meds). This has been by far the most physically painful experience of my life, and it is good to hear from others that it was worth it!

It is so worth it.  Be good to yourself and be patient.  Post op plastics not only takes a toll physically but also emotionally.  And it is all perfectly normal.  A few weeks back I post some links to articles on post plastics depression.  Let me know if you would like the links.

HELL to the YEAH!
I LOVE my flat tummy- even weighing 10 lbs less in college, I never had a flat tummy, always had a pooch ( or Michelin tire, my husband and I called it) and was bothered by it wearing pants, skirt, shorts, bathing suit. Now I am flat as a pancake, baby, and I LOVE it. It makes a huge difference in the way I wear my clothes, the way I approach romance with my husband ( lights on, baby!), the outfits I choose, and encourages me to work out my Core because I can see improvement.
