How Long After Sleeve Surgery Did You Complete Plastic Surgery?

[JamaicanGirl2011 27]

Hi Fellow Sleevers,

I may be a little early but I wanted to start planning and saving.

How soon after the sleeve surgery did you have plastic surgery?

Also, how much weight did you lose before you completed plastic surgery?

I know this is personal, but if you don't mind sharing (I know this will help a lot of us)....

What plastics did you have completed?

What was the cost?

Thank you!!

I had a facelift and necklift 10 months after surgery. I was at goal and had lost 83 lbs. I am still considering a Tummy Tuck and butt augmentation, haven't decided yet. I had my surgery in Costa Rica and the surgeon and hospital cost was $8700.

Foxbins,

I just read your signature. You reached normal BMI in 8 months!!

Excellent!! Congratulations!!

Yes, and the last 10 lbs seemed to come out of my face! I figured I could cover up the saggy body bits with clothing, but everyone could see my jowls, turkey neck, and deeper wrinkles so I went with the face first

I'm curious about this too! I was hoping being young would help with the skin.. but it truly hasn't. I am not at goal yet, and I plan to wait awhile to see what happens naturally (and ignore the fact that there is no way I could ever afford it in the first place..).

Now you have me scared.... how young is"young?"

Lol! I am 21 now, I was sleeved when I was 20. But really, supposedly there are sooo many factors that age is only a small one. And my skin very well could shrink back... but right now it doesn't feel like it ever will! Everything is easily hidden with a Spanx "thing" (I call them my "things"... always have lol!) that I got from target. So it really isn't that much of a big deal.

My doc said i should be at goal before considering surgery..... I should be there by Christmas.... tummy tuck...breast augmentation and arm lift should do the trick.... I hope

I am I one year today. Need an inner thigh lift. Not sure when I will get it, but I know I will. Tummy Tuck at some point too, but will wait to meet with a doctor. Have a consultation on August 3rd with one doctor. Washington, DC is out of this world expensive in comparison to other markets. My sleeve was $18k.

I was sleeved in February 2011 and I will undergo a panniculectomy on October 2, 2012. Although I am not at goal weight, my pannus has caused me to have severe backaches, but with no rashes or anything like that. It has become difficult to do aerobics (Zumba), a lot of jumping around hurts like crazy. I walk 4-5 times a week for about an hour or more.

Since I have had a breast reduction in 1990 I was able to call the plastics department (with no referral) and set up an appt to see the surgeon who perform my reduction. This past Monday, I met with him and without hesitation he scheduled me. He asked a few questions, checked my pannus and then my breast to see if there is anything special I want done, and told me to stay with exercising and eat as naturally and nutritionally as possible.

I am planing a breast aug, Tummy Tuck, and some others.

The tummy tuck I have to wait until 2014 bc my insurance will cover it

The boobs will be done in may or June 2013

Hello happy days ahead I am 28 and if needed I would do other lifts. If I needed a arm or thigh lift I would do this in Mexico but as far as the boobs I am seeing dr Robert Rey the only man I would ever trust with my boobies.

Breast is 10k

Tummy 10k

Thigh and arm in Mexico is 6k
