mrgrta's tt in 2 days!!!

After losing 85 pounds in 18 months and having 2 c-sections, my body is ready for this! I am scheduled for April 30th at 7:30am for a circumferential tt with fleur de lis, muscle repair, hernia repair and lipo. Surgery is supposed to last around 6 hours and my doc is letting me go home the same day with a pain pump. I will be following up with him the next day in the office. I plan on posting before and after pics soon. I just want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences and pics. I also want to thank Dr. Schulman for his advice, opinions, and time to this forum.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm officially scared sh__less right now! I will try to get on here and post some of the details on Friday or Saturday.

mrgta,

it's almost time! I know it's scary but you will love the results, and in a month, you'll feel pretty good about it all.

I look forward to seeing photos! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
