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?

One of my friends did it over Xmas vacation and is so proud of her new flat belly! I think you would be too! I say go for it!!

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...

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>

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
