This is going to sound really backwards. Five years ago I lost over 50lbs before being sleeved. I had to have a Tummy Tuck and a breast lift/reduction because I kept getting rashes under my stomach and breasts. When I had the surgery I weighed about 220.

Now that I have been sleeved I have lost a little over 50lbs again. So far my tummy tuck is holding up but I am concerned that with more weight loss I might start to have even more loose skin. It is not as tight with new weight loss but right now it still looks ok but I have to lose another 40lbsl. I think more core exercise will help me. As far as the breasts go they are not as firm as they were after the lift/reduction. When I had the surgery I was an F and they took me down to a D. Now after the weight loss I am a C. So after I lose the next 40lbs I don't know where they will be.

You could say I did things completely backwards but I do believe that having had those surgeries 5 years ago helped get me on the path to try and lose weight. Back then WLS did not even cross my mind so I don't regret it. It has made exercising a lot easier and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

I won't lie the tummy tuck and breast job surgery is no joke. You will feel like you were hit by a mack truck. It is very painful. The sleeve surgery will feel like a walk in the park in comparison.

After I finish losing the next 40lbs I may look into another lift if I am at a B/C cup. If they shrivel into the unknown then I MAY consider an augmentation. My other problem areas are my thighs and batwings. But I am trying to do what I can with exercise to control those areas. My husband used to bodybuild so I have a personal trainer right under my very own roof. Problem is who actually listens to their husbands?!

Idk yet. I have to do an options class through kaiser (which I start tomorrow) that's 12 weeks long then I get a consultation and a date. I'm hoping it will be about beginning to mid July.

I'm pretty sure I will want to get some type of reconstructive surgery, if I can afford it. I too didn't get into a bra soon enough so my boobs are pathetic. I am 26 and almost 5'8. I started at 250 and now weight 196. My stomach still sags a bit. When I was preggo with my daughter I ballooned up to a nice 315 pounds (BLAH!) my highest weight ever. I will have to wait and see what I look like at goal, but I know my boobs and my stomach will be a sure thing for me. I am not done having kids though so there is no point in fixing either one of them until I finish screwing them up. If I have the money I will prolly have my triceps worked on, and maybe my inner thighs. Right now my body is so disgusting I only glance at it sometimes when I change LoL. I know I am getting thinner but this half-way between thin and fat look isn't something I enjoy looking at. I am saggy, my fat has no density, and I feel like I am made of Jello because I am always jiggling all over the place. I am super determined right now to zoom past my 190's and 180's so I can be closer to goal. I am almost 4 months post op BTW.
