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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
