I have never heard of that but I do know after having a TT I wouldnt want to have had my band at the same time. I wasnt at goal when I had my TT but my belly had sagged that low it was effecting how much I could do.

I decided when I was 30 or so lbs from goal I would go ahead with it. My Dr said that the final weight loss would not make a difference in the result only improvement.

Sorry I cant be of more help.

Are you saying someone had a lapband, gastric bypass and Tummy Tuck all at the same time? I don't think you are able to find the thread, because I don't think there is a doctor that would do both a lapband and a bypass at the same time. Why would they??? You would either get one or the other, not both. I also can't see getting your tummy tuck before you lose weight. If you did, it seems to me there would be a chance of having to have another done after you have reached goal. JMO.

It was in the Before's and Afters. A male from Greece had it done. He had a lapband for restriction, bypass for his sweet tooth and Tummy Tuck for his overly large apron. All at the same time and he looks awesome!

Page number 23, post 340. That person had all 3 done at the same time. I remembered him b/c of the surgeries, however whomever moderator it was, went through this entire thread about a month or so ago and deleted all comments that did not have pictures and that particular post he stated that he had all 3 surgeries and was questioned about it. His name is YannisD something...

Hope this helps.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
