He's doing my Tummy Tuck on may 2That's great! Congratulations. I was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb for determining when I should get a tummy tuck myself. All my weight is carried in the middle area. (Imagine an olive on the toothpick) lol. I'm in the 250s currently. How small do I need to get for them to do it? Any insight is helpful.

changing slowly 6 Posted April 29, 2016 My Dr never gave me a weight I needed to be at. It came up at my 1 yr anniversary and he said looked my stomach and I had lost all the fat from that area it truly is just skin. I was at 350 at time of surgery and at 1 yr 175 he told me not to lose anymore weight because after the skin removal he is guessing my weight at 120-140 and he said that is really low for my body frame. I'm currently 168 I'm trying not to lose but I can't help it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisInGalveston 15 Posted October 4, 2016 I live in Galveston, but my surgery will be tomorrow in Webster at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center with Dr. Khoi Du. The Fresh Start Bariatric program at CLRMC holds 2 support group meetings per month. The older of these meets the third Monday of the month at 6:00 pm. There is a newer, second session held at noon on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holli Solenberger 1 Posted November 2, 2016 Meeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I'm in Spring , TX, near Champions area and Klein ISD. Please please I hope and pray someone is very local to me! (cue the violins) I have no friends locally that have had the surgery and I need that so much. I feel very alone in this whole process because of it. My family shares one car so I can't travel to the other end of town etc, so Tomball, Spring, Champions, would be a dream! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
