Sooooo.

I'm around 70-ish lbs from my goal weight and I've already scheduled a Tummy Tuck and Lipo for February '22. I know it's early in my journey to do so (I'm only 9 months post-op). But, I can't stand the flapping and hanging.

I figure, since I haven't had kids yet, that any more loose skin I develop would be a great starting point for a pregnant belly a few years down the line (thats how it works right?? Like reinflating a balloon??). Or, this will just be my excuse to get a mini tummy tuck and an boob lift.

Anyone else have an "early" surgery? How did your results fare after losing more weight? Regrets?

So in Feb ‘22 you will be 13 months post op.

i had my TT at 13 months post op too, but I was already at goal (well, technically below goal) at the time. Though I did schedule it months before (at 7 months post op)

i *think* any loose skin you encounter after the Tummy Tuck will be minimal (if at all) as i would assume you will be closer to goal by then? What did your surgeon say?

P.S. I’m 2 years post TT now and my tum is still lovely, lol. But my weight has been pretty stable since though…

Good luck, and can’t wait to see ur results (if u choose to share, that is)! ❤️

Wow nice work! I'm such a slow loser :(. My surgeon prefers that I'm within 10-15lbs of my goal because he anticipates that post skin removal and Lipo that will place me at or slightly below goal. I told him that's lofty considering my rate of weightloss but I'm intensifying my health and fitness plan to get as close as humanly possible.

Thats good to hear! I have a big head lol so my goal is higher than most at my height but its all good. I'm thinking by February I'll be 20-ish lbs away.

Some people do drop a lot more pounds after plastics, especially if there is still some stubborn fat deposits under the skin (or just lots of leftover skin in general for those who had massive amounts of weight loss).

My surgeon said he removed a grand total of 400g of “material” from me, which is just shy of 1 lb (and i had a Tummy Tuck, arm lift AND breast lift!). But despite the minimal weight difference, the VISUAL changes were significant (well, at least to me, lol)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
