I'm 5 foot 6 inches.

Yes. The only time I was comfortable with the way I looked is when I was in high school and weighed 125. My surgeon said he thinks it's fine if I want to lose more but sometimes I think I should stop losing and be happy where I am.

Protein shakes will definitely help you.

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what is your weight and what size are you?

Tammy, are you self pay or insurance? Ive always wondered how hard it is to get insurance to cover a replacement band if your BMI is in a normal range.

You look awesome!! Having your Girly bits moved takes getting used to doesn't it?

Congratulations!!!

Before I had my TT, I also wanted a thigh lift. The upper inner parts of my thighs were saggy and just didn't look good in a swimsuit. I also wanted breast implants and my surgeon would only do 2 procedures at a time so I chose the TT and implants. Well now I don't really need the thigh lift. It turns out if most of your thigh sag is at the very top and your doc does a really good TT that skin will be stretched and pulled up when they pull up all the groin skin. I'm not saying my thighs are beautiful and perfect now but they definitely are not saggy enough for me to spend the money or time on a thigh lift. I am so happy with my figure now:)

Yay!! I'm glad your doing well! I had a pain pump with mine and never really experienced pain. Hopefully you will be the same way:)

I had a TT with breast lift and implants in December. In 3 days I was back up at my kids school functions. I was sore but never in pain. I had a pain pump though for the first 2 1/2 days.

((HUGS)) Amber. A friend of mine has the vertical sleeve. She said it works as long as you don't overeat. She has stretched hers from overeating and gained back about 20 pounds. I will say though, if anything ever happens to my band I will try the sleeve next.

Okay normally my band goes back and forth. I'll be tight for a whole and then loosen up for a while. For the past two months I've been super tight though so I got .25 cc's removed a month ago. For the first 3 weeks after that I was still swollen and pretty tight. Saturday I threw up from drinking something that was too thick. Then suddenly on Sunday... Bam my swelling and most of my restriction was gone. I'm able to drink with my meals and I haven't been able to do that in a year. Is something wrong with my band? I haven't been this loose in such a long time. I'm not in pain though and no reflux or indigestion. I should add, I do have some restriction because I still can't eat bread.

I'm almost to goal and I've been feeling super tight lately out of nowhere. For 2 weeks I didn't eat anything solid really and then I went for an unfill. The PA took out .25 CC's. I'm better now except, I'm tight at breakfast and lunch, so tight I can't do solids but by supper I'm loose enough that I can eat pretty much anything I want and really too much of it. I know a lot of bandsters are like this. Should I just go with and do shakes for breakfast and lunch and eat at supper?

Monday will be 2 weeks since my unfill. You make a good point though. It takes a little over 2 weeks for all my swelling to leave when I get a fill. I'll wait another week and see where I'm at.

I had mine done in Texas. I had the no drain method and also had a breast lift and implants for only $11K total. I'll PM you with the details.

Yes, you'll have to wait up to 30 days for approval first. Your almost there though!! Good Luck!!

sorry wrong spot

I'm glad everything went well! Congratulations!!

These aren't the best. I'm going to take more after my shower today and make sure my camera flash is off first. Despite all the bruising I'm post op day 4 today and I still haven't needed any Vicodin at all. I'm very happy with my results. I had the no drain method Tummy tuck.

Oh and none of us are perfect hun:) Did you have drain tubes with yours or no?

Wow!! You look amazing!!! Congratulations!!

These are at 7.5 weeks: These are a bit blurry but they are at 8 weeks in lowrise jeans:) My PS will take more next month and then give me a copy of his before and afters. I will post them when I get them. Thanks for all the well wishes guys! I'm back to full activity now. Even jogging again:) I still have some swelling but it should subside in a few more weeks.

It will pull up a small amount of it. It pulls up what is at the top inner thighs. When they pull the skin up to tighten the groin area it pulls the upper inner thigh tighter also.

Just take it easy. You may feel fine afterwards but you aren't. Don't over do it.

I'm not affiliated at all but I tried this and it's awesome! The meat is so so tender. http://www.pureandnaturalspices.com/product_p/sku16371.htm They sell samples if you want to try it before buying a large jar.
