Body Contouring Seminar Tonight!



Recommended Posts

My hospital is hosting a plastic surgery free seminar later tonight. This something I may want to do later, but I am only 2 months post op.

Just wondering if if is too early to collect info on something that is over a year away, or would it be helpful now?

I have not had this experience, yet, but at almost 17 months post-op, my body is still changing. I always said I was going to wait until 2 years post op before looking at these options. I didn't really want to investigate it early on as I knew there would be a lot of changes in the field in 2 years and everything I learned would be irrelevant and my thinking may be skewed.

That was my hesitation as well. I think I will wait on the seminar and head to the gym where I need to be. Thanks pdx.

I say, the more information, the better. The more time you have to gather info, learn, ask questions, the better prepared you will be when the time comes. Sometimes you learn enough to ask questions that you never would've thought of before.

I have heard to wait 18-24 months because the body continues to change during this time frame

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
