I believe your procedure is also referred to as an anchor incision and Shalee04 had it, I think, and is thrilled with the results. She posted that the central incision basically disappeared and she has a great figure. I can see where that procedure would give an hourglass figure compared to a plain TT. Please keep posting about your journey.

Thanks for the reply Mimi. I will be happy to share my experiences of the procedure once it is done. Please God, my results will be as aesthetically pleasing as Shalee's.

My original post was moved to a different forum and somehow, your post has ended up disconnected from the original post, but I still appreciate your reply.:cursing:

Hi, Ohm!!!! I was wondering where my post went!!! Thanks for finding it and replying!!!

Mimi

Hi Mimi, the least I can do is reply when someone goes to the trouble of replying to me. We banded individuals need to stick together!

Thanks for the encouragement and the interest. I will keep you posted!

Ohm, whens your surgery again?

I'm due to be done on the 12th of Feb at North Tyneside Hospital (ward 7 - if any of you are local - why don't you come up and see me?).

Incidentally, my staffy bitch is being speyed on the Monday (8th Feb) so I am guaranteed some empathy from somewhere.

Is your insurance going to cover this?

I'm inthe UK, so it's on the good old National Health Service - which is free at the point of contact. We pay "national insurance" contributions from the time we start work, along with tax and stuff, and although I didn't think it was a good idea when I was a teenager, I now appreciate the service, especially as I've needed 6 operations in the past 6 years.

Hang on, did you mean will the insurance cover me or the staffy? The dog - no, me, the NHS.

Clear as mud!

Hey, OHM, I just saw a series of videos by a girl that had the same surgery as you will have on Youtube. Her reasons were stated and the results were very good. She is a by pass patient, I think, but a fairly young woman. She did well.

Good luck, Mimi

Could you send me the url? Please?

I am very sorrie....I just went on youtube and can't find the one I was talking about. So sorry, I will keep looking.

Mimi

Well, I just found it and if I can't copy/paste the url the vid person goes by massagegoddess.

Thanks for that Mimilou. I will peruse, I promise.

Well, the countdown has started - my surgery will take place on Friday morning. Apparently I am first on the surgical list so with any luck I'll be sitting up and taking notice by lunchtime.

Just by the by, Kenya, my staffordshire bull terrier, was spayed today. She was also first onthe surgical list, and I dropped her off at 8:30 this morning and collected her, quieter and a bit subdued but very pleased to see me, at 3:30 this afternoon. She came home and went to sleep, but roused herself sufficiently to beg for an individual soy toad in the hole while the kids were having their tea - so I'm confident that she is fine.

I'll take her back to gether stitches checked on Thrusday and then, Friday morning, will be my turn!!!! Yikes!

Ohm, you and Kenya are a pair!!!!!! I am glad her surgery went well and I am sure yours will, too.

Best wishes.

Hello, everyone. Well this is it. This is my last posting before the op. THis time tomorrow I will have a suit of skin that actually fits me. I cannot wait!!! I'm not looking forward to the pain, and I've been warned that it will be painful, but that is the price I will have to pay. They have said that I may have a morphine pump - but I hope not. I prefer to be able to think and morphine has a nasty habit of making thinking really difficult - a bit like walking through porridge.

Kenya went for a checkup with the vet today and is fine, by the way. Totally psychotic, hectic and completely uncontrollable, but fine.

Ok, will check in again when I get out.......
