I am curious to know

1. We're did you have surgery?

2. What did you have done?

3. How long after your sleeve did you get plastics done?

4. If you got plastics out of the country, what was the price difference from the US to where it was done?

5. What was your cost in the us if that's where you had it?

And mother of all questions, are you happy with the results?

1 Houston, TX

2 VSG

3 not far enough along to have plastics done

4 N/A

5 I paid out of pocket $5k for everything - all tests, doctor's visits and surgery. But remember, with the reduced food intake, I expect to spend less each year on groceries and that will pay for the surgery in 3 to 4 years.

And mother of all questions, are you happy with the results?

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES :P

I have plastics in a week. It is very individual so get free consults! Plastics are best after you are in maintenance.

I am almost 2 years from sleeve... hit goal in Feb.

I had a TT done back in 2005 prior to any weightless surgery because I had huge amounts of skin. In 2009 I had Lapband and lost 90 pounds and was scared that I would have loose skin but everything went in so nicely. I had my Lapband removed last year and have gained a lot of weight and now scheduled for sleeve in Dec. the TT was hard but never regretted it. I had it done in Las Vegas.

      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.
