Tummy Tuck?

I am going to hit my two year mark in January and I am considering doing a Tummy Tuck. I carried my weight all over but definitely in the stomach. It's not bad, but I am still in an L-XL top because of it. I can fit into a Medimum but it doesn't look good lol. Has anyone regretted doing one?

I say go for it also. I'm also getting mine done in 2 years. My mom had it done years ago. The down side about my mom is that she wants the easy way out,and getting a Tummy Tuck & never exercising & eating out will not keep you in shape so in other words this tummy tuck was a waste of time and money. It has grown back,but not how it was,but it's no longer a flat belly.

I exercise before having WLS and I excercise now,and I will continue exercising,but I know the older I get the less I will be able to do,but as long as I exercise I know I will live a longer & healthier life.

You should talk to a doctor about what you may be dealing with when you have a baby after having the surgery. They can tell you the pros and cons...

I have a doctors appointment Friday, so I definitely will. Anything specific I should ask?

Not for nothing but 18 is young especially if you have no kids. You font wanna pay double. You do it now then you married or have kids your tummy grows again & you will need another Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Thanks everyone! I talked to my doctor and she wants me to really think about it and then talk to her again in October at my next appointment. My tummy is the biggest part I want to work on.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
