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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
