It's been a while since I've been on here. So I decided to get on today. However, I have a question has anyone that had the Gastric Sleeve procedure followed up with a Tummy Tuck? The reason that I asked is because the weight lost will cause the skin to get loose especially in the stomach area. Need to hear from my fellow sleeve friends.

There is a board on here for cosmetic surgery...

I have been reading on it for the past few weeks! I am looking into it with my Dr. and insurance because there is no amount of shrinkage that will fix my tube sock boobs and hanging basket tummy!

Check it out there are great pics and topics on it.

Hiya,

I am over two and a half years post sleeve and nine days post TT with uplift.

I have to say that I have found it easier to recover this time around and am so far doing well.

There is a forum for cosmetic stuff, plenty of interesting posts there. If you have any specific questions please ask and I will do my best to answer.

So far, even with a lot of swelling, I can see a real difference! The sagging skin was awful and really took my confidence away, almost like being morbidly obese again.

I know everyone is different, but for me, the op was worth it to get rid of the excess.

      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.
