GotGlock21 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Has anyone have gotten to the point where they had a Tummy Tuck and other things? How long after the Lap Band did you get it and how much did it cost? If you haven't had Skin Removal or Tummy Tuck are you going to get it? :help: :help: :help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted July 20, 2006 Hmmm, I doubt it. I wont be looking perfect at the end of it, but I never had a particularly big stomach, so I will probably just have at typical 40 year old I've had 3 big babies kinda stomach - a little loose but that's it. I'm thinking now I may have just a touch of loose upper arm skin too and I'm a little flappy under the chin, noticeable only to me but not as tight as it once was. I honestly dont think I'd do anything about any of that, the scars would be worse than the minor problems I have. But I am definitely thinking of a touch of Lipo - I have a weird upper abdominal fatty deposit that I never had before and moderately bad saddlebags. And I think a breast lift/reduction may be in my future too, they're problematic, just too big and saggy and really limit swimwear severely. I'm only 38, not ready for a big grandma swimsuit. All this will have to wait at least 3 years till I finish my degree and am working, unless I can manage to have it passed off as reconstructive surgery rather than cosmetic, and I do love running and they do get in the way! Cosmetic surgery is not covered by private health insurance in Australia, you have to pay the lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewSho 20 Posted July 20, 2006 Lots of great discussion on this topic here on the PLASTIC SURGERY forum. I've posted about my experiences, costs, and I know lots of other Bandsters have too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
