I would defo take the scar over my saggy belly!

I am 2 1/2 yrs out now and I haven't lost a pound in over a year, despite my trying! I am 10lbs from my surgeon's goal and 24lb away from a normal BMI...

In that year, my shape has changed dramatically and I have gone down a dress size... I contribute this to purely exercise. My tummy area, has gotten better, but it is still 'a problem' for me as whatever I wear I am very aware of it and to be honest it really gets me down. I am 41, I now feel 25 but my mid section of my body looks 90!! I need to get it all together and at least look my age - I still like feeling younger though...lol

So yea, a TT and its scar is on the cards for me!!

A Tummy Tuck scar is 1,000 times better than a hanging belly. No question! :rolleyes:

Thanks for posting the pic. I can't even really tell where your scar is. Who did your TT in TJ? I had my sleeve done there by dr. Ponce de leon.

Your stomach gets pulled down so your scars will shift down too. I had lapband and my scars from surgery are shifted down. It was funny when nurse was trying to fill near the port scar even though I told her I had Tt then another nurse found it and the first nurse felt like a fool

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
