PS/stretch mark Question!



Recommended Posts

I feel like a dummy asking this, but I have to know! :P

When you get your tummy done, do they take off the skin with stretch marks? Everyone's after pics seem unbelievably smooth, and I didn't know if maybe they didn't have stretch marks there to begin with?!

It all depends on where your stretch marks are, and how much they remove. If your stretch marks are limited to below the belly button, then most of them will be removed.

I only had a few stretch marks from pregnancy, but had developed some through the years from weight gain, which made me bigger than any pregnancy did!! And now I have none at all. What I do have is a scar! So......it just depends.....some people have serious stretch mark issues, all the way around the side, and those would most likely not be dealt with, with the TT.

I am smooth....unbelievably so!!! I have swelling still, and it is way worse on my left side.....but I am still totally thrilled with the result of the TT!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
