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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
