Tt Date Booked!

tracew · December 2, 2007

Hello hello everyone.....long time no chat. I am happy to back in the giant loop we call Lapbandtalk!

Just a little update, I have booked my TT reconstructive surgery. I have lost 125 lbs and am ready for the big step. I have just read a thread about how close to goal you should be before you do your TT. I am in favour of the thought that if you are comfortable with the weight that you are able to maintain you should do what you need to for yourself. Personally my TT is completely comfort based, I am far to old and too taken to be concerned with what anyone thinks. I do however have an absolutely ENORMOUS pannus and the goal is to have this removed and the tummy reduced.

I am a runner and I am finding that this giant pannus is a serious issue with my ability to run long distance, I still run, but I think that this will makes worlds of difference in my comfort.

Quick question.....has anyone experienced a XXXLrg size pannus reduction? And if so can you give me any advice?

Thanks for any comments or help anyone can provide. Best to all

Trace, I am just curious. How expensive is your tt?

I am a self pay, the surgery just TT is 5450.00 Canadian. Pretty good apparently. He is a well known surgeon in the area and certainly an amazing personality. You can check out the website at Welcome to the Blue Water Surgical Centre

Thanks for the support guys!!
