Regarding Graphic Pictures

I am wondering how much people really want to see on this site. I have some very graphic pictures of my recent Tummy Tuck and I know some folks would be interested. I also have before and after pictures from the tummy tuck and breast lift. I am naked in these pictures and would hate to be offending others with posting a graphic picture.

I don't have a problem with these photos as I would want to see what I planned to have done on someone else and am always curious about other's weight loss journey. My question is, is it best to email people in private or should the pictures be posted for all who are interested to see? Thanks for your input!

I'd love to see the photos. As long as your face isn't in the photos, I would go ahead and post them here if I were you.

On a side note, how bad was it having the drainage tubes in for so long? How much time did you take off from work? I actually want to have everything done -- thighs, tummy, arms, boob lift, face and neck lift, too.

Yes - others have posted photos that were graphic - they either blacked out the delicate parts - or cropped their heads out.

I, for one, am interested to see the whole process. I know that the TT is in my future.

If you want to post but are concerned about some of the more graphic areas, you can email them to me and I will censor out the parts you're unsure about. We've seen many a blurred nipple and pooty around here. :)

:( Hehehehehehe! I'm sorry I'm laughing but I'm just struck by the phase "burred pooty". I laugh even typing it!

My head is not in shots but the tattoos are there. I was not concerned for myslef as I could care less. I just did not want to offend others. I work on the pictures for the plastic surgery ans post them by the weekend.

FYI - My doctor said he has left drain tubes in for for as long as 6 weeks so i should stop my bitching1 At that point my drain was already out so we were friends again. :)

Spydr, I'm glad you've decided to post the pics, I'm interested in seeing your transformation too. PS is almost a certainty in my future and it sure does ease my mind about the $ I will have to spend to see the results people get.

God I'm so scared of the TT and the breast lift but I know they are in my future... cry!!!!

So yes I would like to see the pics, but I am really more interested in a verbal description from you as to how much it hurt and how long your recovery took.

I posted the pictures in a new thread via a link. That way, the pictures on not on this site so those that veiwed them made a choice to do so. I thought that would work.

FYI - My pooty was not blurred so be kind! :(

I think when you post a warning that they are graphic, that is fair enough.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
