Hopefully people can post pictures of their Tummy Tuck scars and overall results of the tummy tuck. This will be very helpful for those who are looking into getting a tummy tuck. It will give us an idea of what to expect months or years after surgery. The name and location of the doctor would also be wonderful to help us in making the decision. Thanks!

Cynthia

I don't really have pics of my scars, guess I could take some.

But, here are my before and after pics (3 months out).

I was very happy with the results and my doctor was excellent.

I plan to use him again for a thigh lift once all my weight has been lost.

WestCoastFatGuy & Kellie74,

Thank you guys so much! I needed to hear that. Most people don't say a word and in my head that makes me think that there isn't a difference. I'm self-conscious as it is, you all have made me feel 10 times better about myself- Thanks so much!

Anyone else have pics to share???

I always love seeing the results of others, too. I've become a plastic surgery TV show addict!

Thanks HarleyNana,

I was afraid to post the pics, but now am glad I did.

But, I don't want to "take over" this thread.

Anyone else brave enough to share???

Julie,

I notice you are having thigh lift too. What kind? Inner or outer? That's what I want done next. I was originally supposed to have it done with my TT, but they weren't able to do it all at once.

Hi there. I am having an inner thigh lift with out Lipo. I don't have too much hanging skin so he isn't having to make the incision down the entire thigh to the knee. Instead he is doing the lipo and bring the skin up and suturing it up into my upper thigh. He has to cut me 1/2 way around my thigh to do it that way. JulieNYC has her thighs lifted and had the incision down the inner thigh. He said that it doesn't look too bad 6 months out. Julie

Wow, please keep me posted on your progress. Sounds like a nice way to have it done, vs the large scar down the thigh.

I'm very interested in your outcome. Good luck and congratulations!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
