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

      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!
