My band after my full tummy tuck.



Recommended Posts

I was banded July 3rd 2013 and had fantastic results. 170lbs gone forever. So much so that two weeks ago I had a full Tummy Tuck. Removing nearly 9lbs of skin and fat from my tummy. I was in the green zone before my surgery my band at 10•5cc I had to choose carefully but where that failed exercise made up for it. I'm an exercise junkie. Prior to my op I had my band released to 1•75cc's. And now the skin on my abdomen is so tight eating even small portions is a real challenge. I feel painfully bloated after a few mouthfuls in the mornings. Evenings are slightly easier, I can eat a reasonable amount. Has anyone else had this procedure or any ideas? I'm definitely not going for a fill anytime soon. Originally I thought it was because of the aggravation from surgery but it can't still be that now surely. Thanks xx

Hey there, congratulations -- so happy for you! Have been wondering how you're doing as I'm not on MFP much these days. So this is what you've been up to! Way to go.

      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.
