Who, Where, How Much?



Recommended Posts

Ok, I think I'm definitely going to need a TT when I am at my goal, I already have the hangy-loose skin, plus I had a c-section when I had my son 3 years ago. Anyway, I was just wondering who out there has gotten a TT, who (Dr.) performed the surgery, where did you get it done, and how much was it? I'm not concerned with cost as much as I am a good doctor who knows what he's doing so I won't die, be disfigured, etc, etc.! Let me know the 411!!:)

I have my surgeon already, once I am at my goal weight..... (not banded yet).. in Torrance, California (I just moved to MD - but a good Dr. is worth the flight). Dr. Sherif Khattab. He removed cancer from my mothers face, and did her plastic surgery to cover the lost skin...that is how I discovered him. He is an awesome man!!! Free consultations too!!!

If you want a good PS start by going to a local support group and see who has had surgery and who they used, and if they were happy with the results :biggrin1: I'm 6 weeks post-op from abdominalplasty, liposuction to hips, knees, and thighs and port change and couldn't be more happier with my results!!! I also used the same PS that someone in my support group used 6 months prior to my surgery so I got to see her work 1st hand :clap2:

If a person looses lets say 100 lbs do u think its possible just to do a Tummy Tuck or does the doctor have to tuck other places too sice there is so much extra skin around the hips and all as well?

Everybody is different so it's hard to say what you'll need/want done when you reach your goal!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
