Anyone had a TT and Breast Lift at the same time?



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

I'm forteen months out and am 20 pounds from goal. I've lost 120 pounds and my surgery was 5/21/12. I really need a TT and breast lift but have no idea where to start. I was self pay for my surgery because my insurance had an exclusion on wls!! Insurance sucks! My husband's employer pays 1400.00 a month for our insurance and it pays terribly.

Anyway, anyone have any information on the cost of a breast lift and TT? I don't think I will need a body lift. I do have skin but it isn't too bad. I think a normal TT will do. Anyone here had them both at the same time? Would love to hear about your experience.

Any information will be appreciated!!

:)

I have really enjoyed reading about the various procedures that people have had done after their weight loss. It is inspiring. It looks like many people go to Mexico and have both procedures done, although there is a longer recovery time. Good luck!

Hiya, I can't advise you on cost cos I'm in the UK... I waited nearly three years before my op - still not at goal (9lbs away from surgeon's goal - 24/8 lb away from my ultimate goal)...

I did have a TT and BL at the same time - I am now nearly 5 mths post op and I feel like a new woman!

The recovery for the TT is long and arduous but the BL was a breeze (prob cos I focused on the TT!). I wouldn't have a problem recommending the two procedure together, based on my experience. But you need to check with your PS.

If you are looking for experiences, stories and photos go and have a look on realself.com

It is a really good and informative site that gives you real life reviews covering the good the bad and the indifferent!

Good luck!

      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.
