Did you have a Tummy Tuck or any other surgery? ??

I had a corset trunkplasty which is all of the skin from below the breasts down to the hips. It also includes tummy tuck muscle tightening. I had a lot of skin (12 pounds on my belly alone!) Since I've been big for over 15 years. At my highest weight I was 358 pounds.

I can't believe you're already in jeans after your plastics! Great job on your loss. Enjoy this, you worked hard for it!

Thanks for sharing the information on trunkplasty. That sounds like a good option for people who need more then a TT. Overall, it sounds like a really good approach to getting toned in the.core area. Do you mind me asking what the cost is for one of these?

Thank you! Yes I am still healing. If I had to guess I'm holding 3-4 pounds of swelling still.

Thanks Cheri! I still have about 22 pounds to get to goal but oddly this surgery seems to have helped me adjust to the new me.

I agree. The TT was just not going to get it for me. I don't mind sharing at all. I had my surgery in Lexington, KY for $8600. That included facility charge, surgeon & anesthesiologist. I planned ahead and saved my taxes for 2 years to be able to afford it, otherwise I would never have had the funds (or the credit!).

Thanks y'all. I think we can all get here. I have struggled & stalled multiple times and I made it. It is strange tho, I never had a goal size. Only a goal weight (160). I probably would be happier now if I'd have picked the size first. Lol.

How pad has the recovery from your plastics been?

It's been pretty bad. I had 2 c sections & I would say the pain was 10 times worse. But I stopped the pain meds a week after surgery. I was feeling a lot better but then I seem to have had a minor setback. Not feeling as good as I was but I've had a complication with one of my incisions. The skin is dying & now it's infected. I'm sure it will get better but I think that's why I am feeling run down.

      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?

      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.
