A short video you might enjoy



Recommended Posts

This is a short 3 minute video that I put together about body contouring after weight loss. It is not a professional video by any means...but I think it is a nice compilation of before and after pictures. It shows all the procedures that have been discussed on this site...including the hard to find fleur-de-lis tummy tuck! Enjoy.

Im gonna need all of that when I lose the 260lbs i need to lose. I know how much a Tummy Tuck costs but Im not clear as to how much a body lift is. Im sure I will need the body lift. Also can arms be done at the same time? If so how much together. Thanks for taking the time.

a LBL usually runs about 50% more than a TT - but this can vary between surgeons. While many procedures can be combined, I would not recommend performing a LBL and a brachioplasty at the same time...it is way too much surgery. It is possible to "split" the LBL into a TT and a "back side". In this case, a brachioplasty can be combined with either the front half or back half. Most PS (myself included) do give significant discounts when procedures are combined.

Dr did insurance companies cover any thing if it medically needed. I got the lapband done 12/08 and weighed in at 462 so I have alot to loose and I know that there will be alot of skin hanging. I do work out with a trainer to help tone up some but I am thinking that there will be alot still. Might sound like a dumb question but is there payment options with ps, I live in Iowa and there is not alot of talk about ps here.

Thanks

Amanda

Insurance will cover some procedures if it meets the requirements of medical necessity - check with your specific insurance carrier to see what these are because they vary. The PS themselves usually do not finance, but can help you get set up with outside finance companies that specialize in surgical procedures such as care credit, capital one, etc.

      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! 😞
