As soon a your doctor approves you , you should be exercising the more you exercise and eat healthy the better you will feel and heel. You can always begin with walking and then add on later. I would have never thought I would be a gym nut but i go to the gym 7 days a week or 2-3 hours every day . It is my stress reliever as well as i have met new friends because you will see that some people who claim to buyout friend is not . Good luck everyone.

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair at 1 year post opt .i have lost 119 pounds and I love the new me . My insurance covered 100 percent of everything .

You look great and i agree the new attention you recurred can be hard but it's a positive thing . It's amazing how you are treated by society when you are considered "" normal weight "" but stay focus and enjoy your new life's.

I was in the hospital and released within 2 days no complications and back at work within 2 weeks . Congrats on your choice on being healthy ,

I have had no complications and I am 2 year and 3 months post opt and doing great .

Your # 1 Goal is to be healthy I do not see any misunderstanding in that, you need to ask yourself is it really the procedure you are afraid of or the challenge on being healthy? Because it will come down to having a surgery to save your life as well as allowing yourself the opportunity to be healthy as well as get rid of possible health issues that arises from being obese. If you would ave had the sleeve it comes with possible side affects like all things in life there is nothing 100 %. The RNY is the gold standard and if your doctors thinks thats the best thing for your health do to your on going health issues I do not see the issue, I am sorry I a not trying to hurt your feelings but the bottom line is for you to be healthy because doing nothing does not help you. Good luck.

The best NSV moment for me is realizing the skinny lady in the mirror is me, and men run to open doors for me.

Congrats your doing great you got this and I know you cab do it keep us posted.

Why don't you take poctures of yourself and put them in a scrap book then you can see the many faces of you , I was like you until I started my many faces scrap book, I had drop over 100 pounds and didn't recognize myself u till I was opening the door at work and it was a glass door and didn't realize the skinny women in the reflection of the door was me. Your brain has to catch up I hope this helps you good luck .

Hi I work out 7 days a week for 2 hours and still could not get rid of the extra skin on my tummy, I am now 3 week post opt from tummy tuck with muscle repair and it has been the best decision I have made, do to being in excellent shape prior to my tummy tuck I was walking upright the very next day which takes some people week to do , do to my Protein increase of 120 per day prior to surgery my healing has been great. I encourage everyone to exercise but if you still have extra skin do not be afraid to have it removed. Good luck everyone.

Hi I am almost 11 months post opt from RNY and I am currently looking into plastic surgery. I am looking to having a tummy tick and breast lift. It is funny everyone says that I look great and I am crazy but I can not stand the stomach pouch that I now have from having children and RNY. My insurance will cover the tummy tuck do to the lost of the 100 pounds but in order to cover the lift I need additional documentations. I am interviewing surgeons now to find the best one for me. If you have had a tummy tuck or breast lift can you share your story, or if you are considering plastic surgery can you share your experiences or why you are looking into plastic. Thank you.

I am 3 weeks post opt from my tummy tuck with muscle repair and I am feeling great , insurance cover the total bill. don't be afraid to check with your insurance company as well as your doctor.

It's fine you can rock this congrats .

I agree with the above statements 6 months seems like a long time but it flys by an during that time you are preparing your body for a major change you are learning to eat healthy, exercise, learn portion control and a lot about yourself. Use this time wisely it is so worth the wait and good luck to everyone who decided to be healthy.
