Stomach issue, but not TT worthy



Recommended Posts

Hi all- rant on.

I have been fairly blessed ( luck??) as a post op to not get hanging skin. I am tight everywhere and it probably has to do with exercise and diet because, man, my weight was really obvious in my upper body (stomach, chest, back) pre op. however, I do not have any panni, moobs or batwing issues so do not need plastics for those. if I would want to perfectly create a flat surface, currently there is 1/8-1/4 "lip", I might want to get an extended TT in some distant future. Will this go away? Not sure.

What is obvious is a belly button area that looks like the Sarlacc Pit:

Star Wars geeks will "get" this reference (scroll down a little for the image). Does this smooth on its own over time from ample exercise? Would TT surgery help? My wife is going to have VSG soon and we have agreed she will get the plastics as we will not be able to afford two sets of plastics. I want her to feel good about her body in a bikini. She will be first.

Rant off. ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
