Just know that this surgery has a long recovery. I am feeling better, but I am not myself yet. I am hoping to feel like myself in the next couple weeks. I am super happy with my Surgeon and my results. Have a Bless Day!!!

How much did you lose? How much skin loss did you lose?

My surgeon says I'll need this... Makes me way more nervous than the initial procedure (later this month) but figured a day at a time

Look great!

Thank you for posting the pictures. I am considering this type of surgery. I've lost alot of weight and have the loose skin problem. I think all the time about getting rid of this darn pot belly, and getting the 'girls' plumped back up instead of them just laying on my chest like deflated balloons.

Wow, what a beautiful job your surgeon! Good for you for putting up with what I'm sure was a rough recovery.

Be well…

U look great. May I ask were u at goal when u had your surgery. Also, with the Tummy Tuck did u find that tightened up everything else below the belly, meaning the genital area? I've heard it does so that's why I ask. I'm 4 mos out from having my sleeve and down 60 lbs but I'm definitely gonna need plastic surgery.

Thank you:)

Yes, I was at goal. I had the sleeve on June, 2012 SW 230. The day of my plastic surgery I weighted 121. To answer your question about the TT, for me the TT only make my stomach flat. I had my TT in 2007 after having kids. I just had a TT and belly button scar revision this time with my LBL, Butt Augmentation using the fat flap, Breast Augmentation and Medial Thigh Lift.

Gosh, you look fantastic! Can I ask what size implants and type you have? And have you had any shufting or unevenness...I went for a local consultation and the PS said that that is a common problem for bariatric patients.

Thank you:) I have 295 high profile Smooth Round Mentor under muscle and no I haven't had any if those problems. They look very natural, unless I tell people I got them done, they don't know. I am really happy with Dr G and my body.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
