I already did my breast. I havn't been banded yet but I have heard that you can get them done first. Of course I have heard that you should wait too. My doctor thought getting them done while I still had a weight problem was okay. He would not however perform the Tummy Tuck untill I had lost more weight. He wants me as close to ideal weight as possible for the tuck. I know alot of people get thigh and arm tucks too. I am hoping because I am young I won't have to do this. The youngr you are the more elastisity you should have. But I am down 40 pounds and my stomich looks like a kangaroo pouch, hanging down to my special place, if you know what i mean :)

I cant wait to get that tummy tuck. So to answer your question, I don't really think there is a general time table to this subject. Just very individual to each person's needs. My breasts cost $9,500 for lift and implants and tummy tuck was quoted $10,000. I hear sometimes insurance may help pay. My insurance doesn't cover anything that has to do with weight loss accept group classes for diet and walking.

alot of insurance companies b/c b/s ppo you have to have lost 100 lbs plus and have rashes or side effect due to excess skin but they do cover it if you fit the criteria!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
