Have any women thought about getting a Tummy Tuck or breast lift? I was against it right after surgery but now seeing how saggy and deflated everything is I may reconsider. I do exercise cardio (4days) strength (1 to 2 days) a week Thoughts ladies?

I plan on mortgaging my life out to my 90's in order to get the surgeries. lol! I want a full body lift. That's legs, butt, tummy, breast, arms and maybe neck. I was over 350 at my highest and I'm only 5"1'. I have a lot of saggy skin. A. Lot.

I needed a lift and reduction pre-surgery, and definitely am looking in to getting one when I reach maintenance. I have a surgeon in Houston already picked out, although my husband would probably want me to stay local, it'll be cheaper, but I like the Horndeski Method (now called something else). It's pretty cool.

Not sure about the TT though, we shall see when it's closer to time.

I'm planning on having a breast reduction/lift when I reach my goal weight. I've always been stacked, and I have pain from them now, as well as 2 bulging discs in my neck. I'm hoping the weight loss and muscle strengthening when I start lifting will help with the pain, but I'm sure they are gonna look scary once I reach goal. I'm open to having a Tummy Tuck if necessary, but I'll see how my stomach recovers before I make up my mind.

Horndeski has had privileges revoked from the medical board for his practices, Google it.

Really!? I'll look it up. That's probably why he sold it or whatever and now it's a different name.

Interesting. I read some horror stories about him, but I didn't pay a lot of attention but there are a couple people he completely botched.

It's peer related, four years ago. Nothing about his actual practice or method or quality of care .

On April 12, 2013, the Board and Gary Michael Horndeski, M.D., entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Horndeski to obtain within 30 days an independent medical evaluation from a psychiatrist and follow all recommendations for continued care and treatment, within one year complete 16 hours of CME including eight hours in risk management and eight hours in communications skills with professional colleagues and pay an administrative penalty of $1,000 within 60 days. The Board found Dr. Horndeski was disciplined by peers at Angleton Danbury Medical Center regarding issues related to competency, conduct and behavior and had his membership and privileges at ADMC revoked.

I always told hubby I want new boobs for my 40th. Maybe I'll add a Tummy Tuck now too. 😁

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
