It's been a while since I've been on here. So I decided to get on today. However, I have a question has anyone that had the Gastric Sleeve procedure followed up with a Tummy Tuck? The reason that I asked is because the weight lost will cause the skin to get loose especially in the stomach area. Need to hear from my fellow sleeve friends.

There is a board on here for cosmetic surgery...

I have been reading on it for the past few weeks! I am looking into it with my Dr. and insurance because there is no amount of shrinkage that will fix my tube sock boobs and hanging basket tummy!

Check it out there are great pics and topics on it.

Hiya,

I am over two and a half years post sleeve and nine days post TT with uplift.

I have to say that I have found it easier to recover this time around and am so far doing well.

There is a forum for cosmetic stuff, plenty of interesting posts there. If you have any specific questions please ask and I will do my best to answer.

So far, even with a lot of swelling, I can see a real difference! The sagging skin was awful and really took my confidence away, almost like being morbidly obese again.

I know everyone is different, but for me, the op was worth it to get rid of the excess.

      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.
