    Hello all from Australia

    Thanks for the welcome, and I hope so.... seen some lovely photos of tummy tucks and feeling confident.... so happy to find this forum back when i was first banded it was a new op and there was no real support ... this is lovely.
  5. Hello all, I am very excited with a new chapter of my journey of losing over 143 pounds after being banded..... 2 weeks after the birth of my 4th son Jamie I was phoned to meet with a plastic surgeon I was on the waiting list via the public hospital system here for 2 years.... I met with my surgeon and found out my Tummy tuck would be covered by medicare so it would not cost me any thing... I would just need to buy a Marena compression garment which is $179 aus dollers. Well last Friday I was called to say my surgery was set for June the 9th.... I meet with the anetheist on the 27th of May and on the 8th of June I have the liquid removed from my band. I am scheduled to stay in hospital for 5 days and found out I am getting to stay in the private hospital which is a added bonus..... I am very excited! as I just hate how much skin I have around my stomach its not nice and hangs to my thighs now.... though I am also nervous.... Its going to be harder than my lap band I know that especially since I have 4 children, 13, 3, 2, 1 .... last 3 were born while banded with no liquid removed from my band. I found this forum by looking up tummy tucks after banding... and thought it would be nice to chat to others who are in the same position as me... Will take some before pics before surgery..... Also has any one tried to lose a little more before they have surgery?
  6. Hello all, I am new and from Australia.... I was banded in 2002 and weighed 341 pounds I have lost over 143 pounds and now weigh 198 pounds. It has taken me longer due to having 3 children since having the band which is a big plus since I am also a PCOS sufferer.... It has also done wonders on my asthma which is all but gone and I feel fantastic. On June the 9th I am off to get a tummy tuck to remove a ton of skin removed.... so yes nice to meet you all :laugh: and thanks in advance for reading ....
