TT vs Body Lift

[Barb 0]

I just reached goal, but I am not planning on any plastic surgery. I am still having to work hard on my upper arms and I do have some excess skin on my upper thighs but I think I will give it a little while and see how it does. Everywhere else my skin seemed to return to normal.

15lbs more and I will be scheduling my Plastic Surgeon for a TT. I am not sure if I want to head to Mexico..since I observed Sammie's tubing/drains, bandages, etc., I think I may go with someone in Orlando. Still researching. I have a list of docs but so far, no one grabs me. I noticed that some docs go with a c-section style type TT and some go with a weird "W" shaped incision.

Still researching. Still have some time.

Newsho,

Can you give me some info about where to start the process of having ins pay for procedures.I haven't started to see any Dr's for any "problems" with skin or back pain but would be willing to start to get ins to pay.Just have no idea where to go first.I have about 40 more pounds to get to goal but figure this fighting ins will take some time,right?

If you would like you can email me privately................Thanks!

Hi,

has anyone gone through with ps and got the scars to prove it? How bad is the scarring? does it heal really well or will you still have to cover up? I've got a long way to go but am thinking about it for the future.

I had started out thinking that PP would not be a priority, but now that I am loosing a lot, I can see where a TT is going to be necessary. I have been obese most of my life and my apron is considerable. Got a ways to go, but will definately be checking into it in the next year or so

Go online and look at plastic surgery photos before doing anything. This is the site that I looked at:

It looks like the only bad tummy tucks were on people who didn't seem to need them in the first place. But I saw some really bad breast reduction/ lift photos, some that didn't heal well at all. I always thought that I would get one, but the photos turned me off....

I have had a TT. It was well worth it. No skin slapping up against my thighs, no smelly belly, no rashes. Ahh, it was the best thing I have ever done for my health besides being banded.
