Tummy tuck! Piks



Recommended Posts

Recovery-- the pain was horrible the first week (again, they removed 8.14 lbs of skin) the second week is manageable. I was back at work in one week... 2 weeks would have been nice. I am 6 weeks out, I just started sleeping in my bed again!! still wearing the girdle for another 2 weeks. I should be back at the gym any day now (no sit ups). Everyday is easier and easier. I have lost 18 lbs since the TT. I am so glad I did this! Totally worth the EXTREME pain! ☺️☺️☺️

Where did you sleep instead, if not in your bed?

I love it. Congratulations. You deserve it. Questions:

- how much weight did you lose?

- how long did it take to lose the weight?

- how long did you maintain the weight loss before the surgery?

- any tips you wish to share?

- anything you wish you had done differently?

- your age (range is fine)?

Many thanks.

I was at 240 before the sleeve, I was at 160 TT day. Currently 140.

18 months

I was at the same wt for 5 months

(Not at goal) got to goal after TT part of the wt loss was the 8.14 lbs of skin removal

Tips- take tons of before piks!

-Clean and clean before your surgery, it takes a while to get back to normal.

-Have a recliner and lots of pillows ready

-have all your meds, gauze, tape etc etc ready

-button up pajamas

-you need an accessible room/restroom (1st floor)

I am super happy! I just wish, I would have stayed home for another week post op

28yrs

☺️let me know if you have any other questions☺️

You look amazing. How much weight dod you lose? How much was the procedure? What was your experience having it done in Mexico?

I lost 80 before the TT and I've lost 20 more since. It was $4.500 for TT and flank Lipo. The experience was great everyone was very nice ☺️☺️ and its only 2.5 hrs away from here (Phoenix) .

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
