Just booked my TT, Breast Lift, etc.!



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty excited-- I just booked my surgery for March 11th, which seems so far away/yet so close! I'm doing a TT and breast lift (with no implants as of now).

I also spoke with my surgeon about my upper arms and inner thighs, and we will be evaluating those again at my next appointment, as I am trying to get down about another 15lbs or so before then so things may change a little bit with additional loss. Right now its looking like I may do a little Lipo on both and see if the skin adjusts, hopeful avoiding more surgery later and saving a bit now-- but we will see.

He said I will have drains for about the first week, and I have two weeks off from work/school.

Very excited, upping my fitness activities between now and then to stay on track and be in the best shape possible for surgery!

If anyone has advice on how to prepare, recovery, what to expect, etc., I would love to hear from you!

I just had mine in dec... Originally I wasn't goig. To get implants but after careful discussions and thought I opted not to be a A cup and went for a full B. I am thrilled with the results. I have a thread posted In this section and also have pics on my gallery if you want to look. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/161780-tummy-tuck-and-breast-left-on-tuesday-1218/

Love love my new body and the extra skin on my arms and legs just doesn't look quite as bad anymore. ;)

Thank you both!

I used to be a DDD and am now a D or DD (need to get measured), not wanting to be bigger, but its hard to imagine them any differently! Planning to tell him I don't want to be smaller than a full C, and letting him take it from there once he's in the OR.

The pics and everything are very helpful-- Any advice is welcome for sure.

I've added some new work outs and stuff to get myself down the last 15-20lbs in the meantime. Using it to keep myself busy as I wait for surgery, so very excited.

      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!
