I just met with the nurse today and she mentioned that once I lose weight my belly will be hanging. She said that, If it does not stretch back I may need to get a tummy tuck. Wtf. I was not expecting that at all. Have any of you considered it?

Well not everyone has that problem. I've been pregnant 3 times and I've gained and lost a lot of weight. I have 3 tummy tuck consults next month and I do plan on having a tummy tuck done next year.

My tt and breast lift are schedule for 9/1. Not everyone has the problem, but some do. Personally, I more or less expected it, if it didn't happen, that would have been a pleasant surprise, but I was prepared for it before I was even banded.

I Have had tt, breast job and also a face lft. I am very happy with the results. As far as wether you will have extra skin depends on things like, age, wether you have been pregnant, large weight losses and gains and just the elacisity of your skin. That would be nice if you don't need one, I think your nurse kind of jumped the gun in telling you you'll need one- just my humble opinion.

I had a tummy tuck four months ago. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Its such a personal decision. Lately I've been thinking about it.

anyone that saw me dressed would say WHAT, are you nuts. You have no belly at all. Its true, my belly is perfectly flat. My muscle tone is very good (although I'm sure after 3 pregnancies there's some repairs they could do in there) and my skin doesnt hang. But I also dont have a lovely pefect tummy. My belly button looks sad, I have a bit of loose skin on the upper belly and when I lean over or am on hands and knees, then there is a lovely line of horrid hanging loose skin. My boobs are saggy as heck too. I look like an 80 year old naked, yet I do not "need" any cosmetic surgery,

But what is need to one person might not be to another. You simply cant know till you get there. Overall I'm happy to be what I am but if 30 grand landed in my lap and I'd already had my house extended and my new kitchen and my kids were all finished their education then I'd have one in a heartbeat. I might definitely think I "need" it in that circumstance. But right now, with all those other financial needs its just a vague want.

But it cant hurt to be putting money aside and planning for it if you're able.
