Those of you that have had a tummy tuck



Recommended Posts

Wow! I'm trying to settle on a goal weight and rather than a weight I have a size in mind. I want to be a 6. I'm currently a 10. Just wondering what to expect since I plan to have a Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Hi:

I didn't actually go down any sizes from Tummy Tuck. Everything just fit better. If all you have left is loose tissue without any fat on it, there won't be alot of change if you're anything like me.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

No change at all. I only had skin to remove. The band took care of the fat! If anything, I'm bigger, but it's only been a few weeks and I'm really swollen.

Approximately how many inches did it take off your waist line?

I never took a measurement. I woke up from surgery with a flat tummy and still wearing a size 10 jean. Note - The day of surgery I was in a size 10 jean; 4 months later, I'm in a size 6. There has been no change in my weight since surgery; however, the swelling is a lot less - still happens once in awhile and the incision is still somewhat sensitive.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
