I had my pics taken on Monday and I'm scheduled for surgery on May 1st.

So... I am assuming they're not anticipating any approval problems between now and then.

How r you feeling and how's recovery?

Sorry for my ignorance and I'm not trying to offend anyone when I ask this' date=' but if you are still reaching for your weight loss goal, why would you do a TT now while you are still trying to lose weight? Or would you just get another one done later? I know I need one and just looking to see what others have done/are doing.[/quote']

Most surgeons do not recommend getting a TT until you have been at a steady weight for at least 3-4 months. Ideally, they would like to see you at your weight loss goal, or yes, there is the possibility of needing more work done. I had a TT and arm lift in December and I'm getting my inner thighs lipo'ed in 3 weeks.

Honestly? The recovery is rough. I had my surgery a week ago and still only feel vaguely human.

But, he also fixed a few big hernias and removed over 12 pounds of skin. So, it was considerably beyond the usual Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Wow! Congratulations. And also, you are a very strong person from what I have seen on your posts. I admire you and hope to be as resilient as you are. :)

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
