Just booked my TT, Breast Lift, etc.!



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty excited-- I just booked my surgery for March 11th, which seems so far away/yet so close! I'm doing a TT and breast lift (with no implants as of now).

I also spoke with my surgeon about my upper arms and inner thighs, and we will be evaluating those again at my next appointment, as I am trying to get down about another 15lbs or so before then so things may change a little bit with additional loss. Right now its looking like I may do a little Lipo on both and see if the skin adjusts, hopeful avoiding more surgery later and saving a bit now-- but we will see.

He said I will have drains for about the first week, and I have two weeks off from work/school.

Very excited, upping my fitness activities between now and then to stay on track and be in the best shape possible for surgery!

If anyone has advice on how to prepare, recovery, what to expect, etc., I would love to hear from you!

I just had mine in dec... Originally I wasn't goig. To get implants but after careful discussions and thought I opted not to be a A cup and went for a full B. I am thrilled with the results. I have a thread posted In this section and also have pics on my gallery if you want to look. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/161780-tummy-tuck-and-breast-left-on-tuesday-1218/

Love love my new body and the extra skin on my arms and legs just doesn't look quite as bad anymore. ;)

Thank you both!

I used to be a DDD and am now a D or DD (need to get measured), not wanting to be bigger, but its hard to imagine them any differently! Planning to tell him I don't want to be smaller than a full C, and letting him take it from there once he's in the OR.

The pics and everything are very helpful-- Any advice is welcome for sure.

I've added some new work outs and stuff to get myself down the last 15-20lbs in the meantime. Using it to keep myself busy as I wait for surgery, so very excited.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
