I have no idea what your ultimate goal weight is but those I know who have had some of the procedures you mention have been at their goal weight for at least 1 year prior to cosmetic surgery. This is likely to help avoid having to have things redone if you lose a significant amount of weight after having your cosmetic procedures.

It might be best for you to concentrate on reaching your weight loss goals after your revision surgery, commit to exercise and see where you are in a year. I am planning cosmetic surgery (face/neck lift) once I am at my goal but as much as I want it I only want to go through it once. It is expensive!!

the year out im aware of. Revision is this july & im expecting Cosmetics Fall of 2019 so more then enough time.

I’m in NYC as well and unfortunately that sounds about right. I know for my surgeon/hospital my procedure (gastric) would have run about $28,000 and that’s no where near the same amount of OR time. I asked my surgeon how much the procedure cost out of curiosity. Some ppl have success in Mexico for a lower rate???


“I know that I’m in my own little world—but it’s ok, they like me here.”

Yikes $30k does sound about right. if you are comfortable going out of the country look around, Mexico, Colombia , Dominican Rep. , etc

I will try to make this short as possible. I had a Sleeve done Oct' 2015. During spring 2017 i started to consider cosmetic surgery everything changed with weight loss. Along the process the doctors ive gotten consultations with they told me my BMI was still too high. By the beginning of 2017 i had already hit a plateau so i started to do pouch tests, different diets, and add new tips to help me lose more weight. Someone along the way mentioned revision i had no idea what it was or heard of it. I did some research and contacted my original Surgeon from my sleeve i love him and his staff. fast forward here i am just completed my pre op exams and testings for a revision this month everything will be submitted to the insurance company . my goal id for 6 months post op my revision go for another consultation and have full body work done.

among getting ready for my revision sleeve to bypass, ive still continued to research for surgery and post op care.

Looking to have : 360 Lipo, BBL, Breast lift maybe w/ implants , TT, arm lift.

Looking to have Surgery Fall 2019, internationally. it will be out of pocket 100%.

Anyone have post op Bariatric tips to help transition into getting ready for cosmetics?

Hi! I am 12 days post op my sleeve to bypass. I feel great now and the recovery was good. I was a lucky one whom experienced no gas pains.

i can’t tell you about eating though because my doc has me on a 3 week liquid diet lost op.

I had my revision due to weight gain, no restriction & GERD. It seems like these revisions are becoming more frequent

Happy Healing, i have heard revisions are becoming more common ( from the sleeve). im excited and nervous i have the sleeve and i barely eat as is.

So Sorry to hear, Hopefully going forward your journey will be much better.

Im also going for a revision sleeve to by pass. keep me posted.

Best Wishes !!
