Tummy Tuck In 2 Days -Dec 17th



Recommended Posts

I was banded on July 5, 2013. I have lost a total of 81 LBS and I have more to go. The thing is that my hanging tummy won't go away no matter how much more weight I lose. So I'm getting a Tummy Tuck, Lipo in my back and fat transfer to butt. I feel like I'm getting the works. This will definitely help me get to my goal weight. I will post before, during and after pics. I'm putting a blog up specifically for my weight loss journey.

Good luck! I had a LBL, BL/BA, arm lift and neck lift this summer and I am so enjoying it now. I have a better body than I had in my 20s (I'm 49)! Just remember to increase your Protein for the extra you'll need for healing and take things slow!

I had Lipo, Tummy Tuck, back Lipo and butt fat transfer and it ran around $10K. It was worth every dime. The typical down time is like 10-14 days. But I took off till after the first of the year. More like any extra week. I'm recovering quite well. I was able to drive myself to the post Op appt on the 8th day. I was feeling pretting good. The first 4 days are the hardest.

Thanks for any info ????

I would definitely do it again in a heart beat. I love my results. I did everything at once. I feel amazing. Still sore and swollen but that goes away with time. No complaints

Immediated went from a size 16 to size 12 . I had a large hanging tummy . I still can't believe it's gone.

Do doctors perform multiple plastics at one operation? Tummy Tuck consult in one week. Can they take the useless tummy fat and "plump" up my boobs? No implants wanted. Anyone have any answers or tips? Thank you Ps. Not a youngster

Some doctors will, some won't. It also depends on what you want done. Not sure about the plumping.

Yeah no I they don't do that, they can put it in your butt, but not your boobs for some reason! Boobs have to be implants

Did you finance this or did insurance pay it? I'm an 8 and 170 and I'm sure with a Tummy Tuck I could be much smaller!

I had To pay for mine out of my pocket. Best investment ever. Before surgery I was a 16/18. Now I'm in size 12 and I'm still really swollen Which means I could be smaller . Yayy. I can't wait.

      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!!
