Pankajsinghal hi I am now 11 days post opt from Tummytuck and yes it removes and address the areas you are referring to . I would begin with a consult who is certified plastic surgeon . Good luck .

Go walking you are so true with your statement I went from the women with the pretty face and baggy clothes to center attention , all I buy and wear now are dress , high heels and I feel beautiful the attention you get from men and envy you re from women is amazing . It's like the ugly ducking just embracing the beautiful swan she already was . I just had a tummy tuck as well to address the extra skin on my tummy and I'm loving the results as well . It is nice yo gave people open doors for you give you compliments and treat you as a human being not have looks of pity nor snide remakes or be the butt of every joke . If I were not married and I was dating again I would nit share my weight loss surgery with them period that is my past and I am looking forward to the future . You do not have to share everything with everyone .

Hi first congrats on your choice on being healthy, discuss your concerns with your doctor, I had the option if both procedures but after going discussing my concerns with my surgeon and husband we all decided on gastric bypass , I had never had surgery and only wanted to have it once and get the best results . I. Did not want any revision do to ulcers or anything else . I am happy and healthy with my decision and just had a tummy tuck with muscle repairs done to address the loose skin and I am feeling like a million bucks . I use food as energy now . I don't us food for comfort , stress or boredom . I have replace stress and emotional eating with exercise and better communication skills will my family and friends and it works . You do not want yo hi through this procedure without making the necessary like changes. You got this I would suggest the RNy.

Hi my husband and I have been married and hpjust celebrated 25 years of marriage , this surgery only enhance my love life my husband loved me unconditionally regardless of my weight but he went to every appointment and seminar with me regarding my weight loss procedure as well as he went to every appointment I had for my tummy tuck and I am now 9 days post opt from having my tummy tuck . He has been awsume and our love life and marriage is stronger . I agree with the above statement that your marriage does not end as a direct result of wright lost or gain there are other underlined factors there . It is so nice to be healthy and have energy to engaged in activities that I once use to partake in as well as activities I never would have tried rather physically or sexually because for one I was not physically able to or had the self esteem to try . Now I do because I am comfortable in my own skin . My confidence is unstoppable and it shows I smile more I am now taking pictures which I never did . Remember communications is everything and reassurance is everything . You will get attention that you are not use to as well as you might even loose friends because they are intimidated by the new you , but remember you are worthy of being healthy and happy and you don't have to apologize to anyone for that . Also the addiction you were referring to is caused by people who use to use food got everything from stress, comfort , or love and they have replace said addiction with alcohol, shopping, and sex this cross addiction needs to be monitored and discuss with your significant other as well as a professional if needed . Good luck .

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing great keep up the great work as well as remember to get in your protein, drink your water, and exercise, for those looking into getting insurance to pay for any reconstructive surgery endure that your doctor document everything including all recommendations on how to treat your problem remember to always add in you have back pain from the excessive skin your covering on your stomach . Good luck .

I'm sorry that you feel the way that you do perhaps with time your mind changes. Have you thought about plastic surgury? I just had my tummy tuck down with muscle repair , exercise will help strengthen and tone some of that loose skin . Hang in there you are all beautiful and we all know how hard we can be on ourselves . Good luck .

Hello everyone I just had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, and belly button removal and lipo and insurance covered the entire process, you have to check with your insurance company and everyone insurance is different, I have federal insurance which covers just about anything, but you must have documentations from day one and as stated above some insurance ill cover the skin removal only to relieve any hanging, skin, liquid fluids, and rashes etc it also has to hang a certain amount below the mons, you have to be a year post opt of surgury as well as your weight have to be stable for 6 months and documented, showing the different techniques, creams, and exercise you have done to address the issue . Good luck I am now 5 days post opt from my tummy tuck and doing great.

Calgirl you may be right because things do changed I am a year and 1 month post opt I am doing great and wish you all a healthy and safe recovery you all got this.

Congrats to everyone who has chosen to be healthy wishing you all a fast recovery as well as pain free recovery. Walking helps with the gas as well as protein and water helps with the recovery and healing. You all got this and welcome to the losers bench.

Martene81 I did not start on soft foods until almost 6 weeks post opt I am a year and 1 month post opt now but it was nothing but liquids got the first couple of weeks , 64 ounces of water , broth, and protein shakes 3 times a week . I see everyone program is different . Good luck and follow your doctors orders they know best .

Martina82 your primary focus should be 8 glass of water and 80-90 grams of protein a day nothing solid at this point .

Martine81 if I read your post right did you say your 1 week post opt if so you should not be eating that your going to mess up your tummy please listen to your go hot your stomach not ready for that you should be on liquids only at this stage . You do not want to injury yourself or stretch anything .

Hello everyone I have had tummy tuck with muscle repair and I am now 5 days post opt and I am loving my results, I am in no pain and the pain that was discusses is overrated or I just have a high pain thrust hold they removed 10 pounds of fat from my tummy area and the results are outstanding. I love the new me and I am loving life. I encourage anyone who has extra skin and it is bothering them to not be afraid of a tummy tuck I was 1 year post opt from RNY . Do not let anyone tell you insurance will not pay for it because they do , they approved tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo, I was in such good physical health that I did not need lipo.

I am now 5 days post opt from a tummy tuck and muscle repair and I feel great, it was highly worth everything and I had no major pain, I encourage anyone who have a large amount of skin after major weight lost surgery who do not like the extra skin to pursue it.

Hi I just had tummy tuck with muscle repair I'm two dYs post opt and living it. I am sore but I'm doing excellent time .

Hi I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow June 1/15 I am having tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo my insurance is coveting everything 100 percent . I am taking 10 days off work and will post updates if requested . From start to finished only took 1 month and 1 week from start to surgery day . Good luck .

My insurance is paying for my tummy tuck in full I am scheduled for tummy tuck with muscle repair June 1/15 so check your insurance requirements . Good luck .

Hi I am only 1 year post opt today and i am already looking into a tummy tuck to removed the extra skin. I think it is just with the weight lost when you have lost over 100 pounds. Good luck.

LMAO too funny thanks for sharing and keep up the great work with your exercise programing.

I agree with the above statements first of all you are going to have stalls second of all you cant burn more that you are eating or you will go int starvation mode and thats not healthy. Speak with your doctor as well I know that I have had several stalls and I am 1 year out and went from exercising 2 hours three days a week to 7 days a week and had to increase my food intake as well as take 1 day off per week from exercising because your body needs a rest period as well. I still get in my 2 hours per day though. Good luck.
