Hmmm....I look forward to many things. But #1 - I look forward to having more energy!

I am thinking about having a full Tummy Tuck since losing weight but concerned about the risk. Has anyone out there gone through this and what were your results. Were you glad you did it?

Taylor..... I had surgery 2 1/2 years ago. It seems like I have to reset every year right after Christmas. Ugh....What I have done is take 1-2 days of liquid diet....Then get serious about exercise and try to keep calories between 1000-1100. That usually does it for me. I'd be more than happy to be your buddy through this. Hang in there and let me know if you need an ear.

I am sooooo sooooo glad I had my TT. It's definitely one of the best things I ever did for myself. I actually had pretty significant complications and I still don't regret it, because now I am years out from it and still enjoying my results. The complications are a distant memory.
Here are some pictures of my scars and a side-view pic. These photos were taken maybe 5 years post-op?

Ahh the incentive barometer thing!! I didn't use that as much as I was supposed to, which would be why I forgot about it, I couldn't remember to use it when I had it! Lol

Well....I just had my surgery on Tuesday and here it is Saturday evening and I am afraid to go to sleep. I was asleep earlier to night but then was woke up violently coughing. Those of you who have already had the surgery know that coughing is not your favorite thing in the world. It hurts!!! I means, really hurts! Anyway, so because it's the weekend and I'm not going to go back to sleep until I am sure it isn't going to happen again, I call the on-call doctor. Turns out that it is re-flux. Hmmmm...didn't see that coming. So - the on-call doctor just told me to sleep sitting up. So, after a while here I will once again try to go to sleep. Feeling a bit silly for calling the doctor again today (had an allergy issue earlier today), but at least he was kind and listened to me and gave me good advise.
I am thinking it is going to be a long night tonight. I was really hoping my weary husband would get a solid night of sleep tonight, but hey....take two right.
I will just continue to remind myself that this is going to be worth it, I can do this. Now I just have to remember the montra: Sip, Sip, Sip, Suck, Suck, Suck, Walk, Walk, Walk, Slow and Steady. I can do this! I CAN DO THIS! I WILL DO THIS!

Sorry you feel bad but gotta say I see a potential t- shirt here. Or maybe bariactric centers should have this written on their walls...of course in fancy script!
