Recommended Posts

Hi guys, its been quite a while but i am back. well it will be a year june 9th since having surgery. i am very satisfied with my slow weight loss. i've had people say that girl you look so healthy, your face doesn't look sulken in.

So i went in for a consult for a Tummy Tuck. the surgeon is a cutie:tt1:. well he told me 2 ways he could do it. i think i will go for the scar to go up and down, that way, my sides will be pulled in. he said unless you want to wear a 2 piece bikini. i was like no:thumbdown: and the cost $7,500 and it will cost lesser if my insurance company pays for the panne.

Congrats on your upcoming TT. I too will be having a vertical incision TT. I have so much extra skin that she told me that was the ONLY way that I was going to have any sort of contouring. I know that I alot of people are nervous about a vertical scar...but like you I never plan on wearing a bikini. It is good to hear about someone else having the same type of surgery. I hear they are much rarer than the single incision.

Good luck.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
