Just curious, how long did you wait to have plastic surgery?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering because I have read so many different things. I thought you need to be at goal for a certain amount of time to let your body settle before getting into plastic surgery.

Just interested on everyone's experience and thoughts! ;)

I was sleeved July 12, 2012. Just had panni done on July 30. My surgeon suggested i see his partner for skin removal when i saw him for my 8 month check up. And the surgeon wanted me to wait til i hit the one year mark so after all the insurance requirements that's about where it took me to. Now i have to start saving up for boobs ;)

I had my sleeve done may 28 ,2012 and plastics (lbl, muscle tightening, inner thigh lift, outer thigh hip Lipo, BL with aug) done July 26,2013. I lost 90 lbs and platued there for 5 months. I was 25lbs away from my goal "weight " but was in the size I wanted to be in. Sooo I was happy where I was size wise before plastics. I have went down another size in jeans (29 now) and can fit in a size small shirt.

It is recommended to wait at least a year so you are not waisting money and not ending up with the best results.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
