Can we talk specifics?



Recommended Posts

I am curious to know

1. We're did you have surgery?

2. What did you have done?

3. How long after your sleeve did you get plastics done?

4. If you got plastics out of the country, what was the price difference from the US to where it was done?

5. What was your cost in the us if that's where you had it?

And mother of all questions, are you happy with the results?

1 Houston, TX

2 VSG

3 not far enough along to have plastics done

4 N/A

5 I paid out of pocket $5k for everything - all tests, doctor's visits and surgery. But remember, with the reduced food intake, I expect to spend less each year on groceries and that will pay for the surgery in 3 to 4 years.

And mother of all questions, are you happy with the results?

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES :P

I have plastics in a week. It is very individual so get free consults! Plastics are best after you are in maintenance.

I am almost 2 years from sleeve... hit goal in Feb.

I had a TT done back in 2005 prior to any weightless surgery because I had huge amounts of skin. In 2009 I had Lapband and lost 90 pounds and was scared that I would have loose skin but everything went in so nicely. I had my Lapband removed last year and have gained a lot of weight and now scheduled for sleeve in Dec. the TT was hard but never regretted it. I had it done in Las Vegas.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
