I just got the call from my Surgeons office today that my insurance approved my whole extended tummy tuck with musle repair not just the pani removal. The office manager even seemed supurised she said she has only seen that a few times they usually only cover the pani removal and you have to cover the rest. I don't have to pay anything for my tummy tuck. I am scheduled for Aug 19 so i still have 3 months to loose the 19lbs i have to get to goal. I cant explain how excited and scared i am all in one. The office manager told me that she thinks why i got approved is because i took pictures every single month of my rash for the last 6 months and i was also getting infections in my bellie button. I can't wait i wish it was sooner.

I was banded 3 and half years ago started at a size 24 and now wear a size 8 or 10 depending on the pant. I have mantained my 125 weightloss for 2 and a half years. So def you can get to that size 8

I have never had such a nice doctor he is so caring. He has done almost 300 surgery.

Everything has been going so great. I had a fill 3 weeks ago and i have been feeling great but then my shoulder pain returned worse then ever. I have had it the whole time i have been banded but not this bad maybe my band is to tight and my tubing is rubbing to much againest my diaphram. It was so bad today i had to take a pain pill. I can usually handle it. It is ususally a dull pain but not today i feel as if someone is stabbing me. Dam side effects.

Well i am 6 days post verical tummy tuck. I am fininaly starting to feel a little better. Everything went wonderful. No complications. The Dr removed 7lbs of skin. They binded me up in this binder of death it was so dam tight i could hardly breath and it made me black and blue form my breasts to my hips i wasn't aloud to take it off or shower until i seen the dr monday. It was a rough 4 days waiting to see what my bellie looked like. Well i went to the Dr's monday and the took all the bandages off it was so scary. It looked wonderful i almost cryied to see my bellie with no fat rolls for the first time in my life it was amazing (i been obese since i was a kid). The dr did such a wonderful job the lines were perfect, straight, and very thin. I was very upset at first when the dr said about doing a vertical tummy tuck because i didn't want an cut to go up my whole bellie but now seeing the results he would have never got my bellie to look this good without the vertical cut i had way too much skin above my bellie button. I am worried about having to go back to work on monday this was the worst pain i have ever experienced i wish i had more sick time to take but i will just have to deal with it.

my dr told me that i have to wear my binder 24/7 for 6 weeks.

I do have some befores but i am about 20lbs heavier in them i forget the day i went to the hospital to take before pictures but i will take some afters and post the ones i took a little while ago of my befores.

I am 6 days out of an extended vertical tummy tuck and let me tell you i have no i idea how i am going to go back to work on monday which will be 11 days post-op. This was the worst pain i have ever experienced.

my insurance approved my whole extended tummy tuck with musle repair which i am having done in Aug.

Though i would post a new before and after first photo 285lbs second two 177lbs

i lost a average of 2lbs a week sometimes less sometimes more during my first year now i am losing about 1/2 to a 1 lb a week.
