Tummy tuck *pics*



Recommended Posts

It's funny you ask that. He saw the two pics I put together a few post's above, and he said "Wow, you really were big, huh? I never realised how big till now"

He just never saw it. We were both fat, and lost weight together (he lost 40kg / 88 lbs just eating what I did, and doing the same exercise as me) I never saw how fat *he* was till I saw pics of him.

I guess our love was blind?

You look fantastic and I am sure you will lose weight once everything settles down and you lose the tubes. Please keep us informed to how you are feeling. I am also thinking of having a TT maybe next Feb or March

Good Luck

Hey Aussie Chick,

How are you going this week? Hope the recovery is going well.

Your post band / PS comparison shots really show a difference in general health - as well as the obvious weight loss. My tummy, hips and legs look like your "before", except with more butt (:cry ), just hope I can shrink the skin back enough to only need a TT.

There's a couple of Aussies around here that I am really inspired by - yup, you'd be one of them!

Keep up the good work! Thinking of ya...

Anna.

PS Aussie Chick - YOU ROCK!!!

wow you look so great! I've been saying that, but the before and after ics are wonderful.

Are people screaming for you! I'm sure they are!

Did you get insurance to cover it. How many nights in the hospital? I forgot if you answered this already or not.

Cozzie ~ Thank you! I had the drains out on Monday, and my weight has remained steady at 61 kg / 134 lbs. I was under goal to start with, so I am not really hoping to lose any more weight at this stage.

Thank you Teresita! I have been enjoying my bod (well all the tiny clothes anyway! lol, My shopping is a wee bit out of control!) But I think that losing the pani / flap will make a huge difference in the summer.

Kim ~ Thank you.

Anna ~ You are going to make me cry here! ((hug))

Dianne ~ I think the loudest screams are coming from my husband! lol, He is just so impressed by my new bod. He married me slightly chubby, so he has never known me this thin - or flat, lol.

The short answer to "did insurance pay?" is yes. I am in Australia, and we have socialised medicine, so things are slightly different. My out of pocket for the whole thing is about $1800 -$2000 ($2000 is soo much better than the $25,000 I have seen others pay for the same thing!)

Thank you Heather, Tricia, and Pat. Thank you all. I do feel wonderful.

You look great. Congratulations! I know a TT is in my future too! Probably a breast lift or augmentation as well. But will take one day at a time, I'm not even banded yet. Thanks for sharing!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
