HI, I'm very new in the lap band process so I'm not even close to deciding whether or not I need a Tummy Tuck. But, I was curious of those who have had one. How many more inches do you typically loose from your waist? Is it a significant amount or is it more just removing the skin?

Hi:

I was 49 years old when I had my tummy tuck. I had lost almost 150 pounds and I had alot of loose skin on my abdomen. Gravity made my loose skin drop low, so when I did have my tummy tuck it didn't make much difference on my waist size, more of a difference on my hips because the fallen excess skin wasn't there anymore. I have a picture on my profile page that shows the difference.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

I also lost alot - 131lbs (I was 262lbs) and my TT didn't change my waist size much - if at all - As all the skin I had taken off was empty as I was at goal when I started. I am exactly half my starting weight now :) Though I can wear smaller clothes cos I don't hafta have space for the skin....

I had my plastic surgery done on Sept. 19 after weight loss of 70 pounds with another 20 to go. I had the wedge done as the surgeon didn't want to cut up my middle for fear of messing with lap band position. I had what is called the wedge which is where they cut you from hip bone to hip bone and take the apron off. If I had to redo this I would go for the whole TT, but I am satisfied with what I had at my age. I went from a size 16 to 14 pants!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
