Wow that is a very dramatic difference!!! Was your surgery covered by insurance or did you have to do it on your own? How can you tell when it's fat or skin leftover? My stomach is definitely getting flatter, but I still have t his area (roll) over my bellybutton that I feel like isn't getting flatter and I'm curious if it will be an issue.....

Insurance did pay for the procedure. I know that there was fat, but it didn't seem to be an issue with any of the surgeons I consulted. They removed 7lbs of tissue plus they did Lipo too. I had my post-op appt today and he said I should flatten out some more and I go back in 4 months.

You look fantastic ! That's my big concern...what if when I lose the weight I still have to stay covered because of excess skin. My insurance won't pay and I can't afford it. So happy for you. You are doing great and look super.

Wow Fordgal! You look awesome! Your pre pictures look very similar to myself. What great results!!!! I am scheduled for a TT and arm lifts on September 27th!!! I am really pysched! Congrats on your new look! Are you willing to share where you went for PS and how much it all cost? I would be curious to compare my costs. Also, did they have to empty your lapband for the surgery?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
