the same surgeon who did my band is doing my tt - I should have asked him last week when I was in the office, but I didn't think of any questions then. It doesn't really matter how long I am in - surprised that a tt is an outpaitient surgery - but I would rather be at home anyway.

Hello Ladies,

Thanks so much for this thread, I am getting a little nervous. I am having my TT in June 28th and no one in my family is supportive of it. I know how I want to look and I have lost 70lbs. and would like to lose 10 more pounds. I know it will be painful and mine will be outpatient as well. Please hope and pray that all goes well as i will for you too.

I know that you don't know me, but you have MY support! You have worked so hard and you deserve to have the TT. It doesn't sound like an easy surgery, but what has been easy about this whole thing? I am just starting (27 pounds lost), but I want you to know that your success inspires me, and I wish you all the best.

You go girl!

Jennifer

I'm scheduled for an extended Tummy Tuck, face lift, and upper eye lids on July 11th. It will be done in an outpatient surgery center. I found a surgeon who has a good reputation for working with weight loss patients and actually was the only one who would agree to do all the work at one time. I am super nervous and wish I was staying in a hospital for a couple of days!! I only have help for 2 days so I hope I do ok.

I have only told my daughter. I have to tell my son who lives in the area. I know he is not going to approve, especially when he hears how long I will be in surgery. I need to tell him soon. I will be happy to lose the shapers in this heat!

Hi All...

It has been a log time since I have been on....I had my band done in July 2010 and lost close to 60 pounds, I recently met with a plastic surgeon and planned a TT and Lipo and Just had it it done this past Tuesday and I am in the midst of my recovery. I still have my drains in and and wearing compression clothing for my arms, flanks,thighs and face and I can't wait to see what I look like when all the swelling goes down. If anyone has any questions please ask It has been a wonderful adventure.

How exciting Jerzee

How come so many compression devices for TT and Lipo? Did you have full body done? I am only about a month away from my TT now and I am growing more and more excited to be rid of the excess skin that I now think looks like a set of freakin udders on my midsection - although not looking forward to the pain

I had a TT done ...lipo in my flanks,thighs,chin and arms and I have to wear compression for all areas for 2+ weeks . I can't wait to see what I look like under all this I am sure better than before. Ahhh the pain well that was pretty intense those first few days but it gets better, for me its tough to move around since so much has been worked on. I am very thankful for my husband and adult children to help me. I can't believe I have had both surgeries

done in under a year and I am excited to start my new life and look....

I am excited for you stay in touch and let me know how you are doing.

I have a couple questions, my surgery is in the morning. What did you wear? Did you utilize a pain pump? I plan to. How long did your drains stay in? I'm really nervous and excited. I've the pain is excruciating but worth it. Please tell me anything you think I need to know. Thanks!!!

I had to wear slip on shorts and a zippered shirt as I could not lift my arms above my head and flip flops. I don't have a pain pump but if you can get one DO IT. I still have my drains in and I had surgery 6 days ago.... So here are my thoughts on prep..... if your doctor says you need compression stuff get it and bring it the day of surgery. Set up where you plan on recovering get a towel or medical pad for sitting... tissues, wipes extra napkins ect . I actually went and bought a couple of zip up bathing suit cover ups so it was easy for my hubby to do my drains and using the bathroom.I made sure I had plenty of Snacks and easy prep meals now that my hubby went back to work. I am still hurting but it gets better everyday and I know it is worth it I can't wait to go shopping.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
