Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 1, 2013 Hey folks. Had my TT today. They removed 6 pounds of skin. 2 giant pieces like the one on the picture. I'll get some photos of me posted as soon as I'm able, but wanted to let everyone know it all went well. I'm in the hospital tonight and I'll go home tomorrow. I've got 3 drains....how in the world do you folks walk around in public with these things? The doc came in earlier and opened up the binder for a second to take a look....holy crap! I don't recognize myself. It's so unbelievable. Now let the recovery begin. Btw not much pain right now, morphine is awesome!!!! So this is half of what they cut out. 36 MNMema, Chimera, Carmen1963 and 33 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montereygrl 104 Posted October 1, 2013 So excited for the new you! Hope you stay pain free. Did your insurance pay for the TT? 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 1, 2013 No I was self pay. They would have paid for part of it if I had someecical issues as a result of the hanging skin. But I didnt have any. 1 Montereygrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FitnFabfor2014 358 Posted October 1, 2013 The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was 1) glad your are resting comfortabley. 2) It must have been extremely uncomfortable for you to have the extra skin. I hope nothing but good days lay ahead for the new you. 5 danyelleb, Butterthebean, Carmen1963 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
