I so need my inner thighs done. Im waiting until feb 2013. Im 7 weeks out from my TT and hernia repair. I cant wait. I have the waist now but my big thighs are making clothimg choices tough.

I beleive also it depends how much hanging skin you have and does it causes issues. bcbs i find easier to work with then others like atena

Im from limerick down 422. I went to philly upenn to have mine done

I am recovering from a tummy tuck and hernia repair. Im 6 weeks out. My wife is protective of me, she does worry to an extent. But our sex life has taken to new heights. We are both enjoying my new body. Its unbelievible how i get treated now. People are alot friendlier to me. I lost 75 pounds plus 7 pounds of skin and fat taken off with TT.

What is dificult is accounting for any hiccups that might arise. Im a month out from my surgery. I had a reaction to anitbodics about 4 days out. I broke out in hives and itched like crazy. I took almost a week for it to completely settle down. I had two drains flanked on my hips. My right drain came out ~ 1 week later. Though my left was still putting out a fair amount. It was kept in there for a few weeks more. The drains can limit you becuase of aggrivating it. Once both drains were removed, i gained alot freedom. Still down on energy and tight sore, but love my new tummy. I would take 3 weeks off from work depending what you do.

Imho.... i would research it. After loosing 50 pounds hanging skin was becoming odivous. Depending on ur age, skin may not be as elestic as it once was. I beleive anyone looking into wls, should take in account ps. Especially when it involves financial planning. I had a TT and hernia repair 4 weeks ago. The procedure was only partially covered by ins. There are certain creteia that needs to be met for ps to be covered. I just fell short of it on the ps side. Though with my hernia repair covered under ins i was able to stretch my dollar and save on ps.

I think just going to take it easy. Im not going to push it. Thanks for the replies.

Aug 16th I am having my surgery. I cant wait! though here's my situation. I was planning on taking collage classes in Fall 2012. I now thinking just doing 1 online class or none at all. classes start two weeks post op. I basically just need my text book and laptop for course. I dunno. just looking how people were with returning to "office work"or school. thanks

I had Keystone East. Everything went smoothly for me. Where are you having your surgery done? I had mine done @ penn in philly.

were you selfpay, or covered under insurance? I lost my insurance coverage

I flew in for a wedding at the Phx Country club on Saturday Evening. I learned one of the Bride's sisters has a lap band. The Bride married my cousin. I am wondering if you are on here? I was the one that looked lost at the buffet area, wondering if I would be able to keep anything down. The Mashed potato bar saved me. Thank you to whose idea was it.

Update on Dan..... This pic was taken this past Sunday. He's doing awesome. Congrats to him.
