time for the last touch

Starting to get a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Surgery at 830 Friday morning. I am leaving tomorrow as it is a long drive for me to get there. So hopping all goes well

Good luck! I am sure everything will go fine. Just remember, after you wake up, sip sip sip and walk walk walk.

Is that your original belly button or did they reconstruct it?

Here are some pics of my scars around 4 years post-TT. I had an extended TT (almost circumferential), but not the fleur de lis.

The last pic shows how underwear hides the scar completely. I have much skimpier underwear than that and it's still completely hidden.

I am curious about Tummy Tuck financing. Once I lose the weight if I ever want to consider it, is it strictly out of pocket pay? For those of you who have had it, dod you pay it all up front? What is the average cost?

@@Spiceyfrog My belly button was reconstructed. She did a great job. Scar is deep inside it so you can't see it at all.

Edit: Another fun fact is that mole that is now right above my belly button used to to be up even with the bottom of my breasts.

Well I am back out and about, made it through without a hitch. I have to admit the pain is/was not bad at all, but wearing this binder 24/7 is kind of the pits. The only part that got my attention is when they pulled the drains out, other than that piece of cake. took about 6 more pounds off me...working on pics, just waiting until I get the few nylon stiches out they put in as a safety measure and some of the swelling to settle down a bit.
