Tummy Tuck In 2 Days -Dec 17th



Recommended Posts

I was banded on July 5, 2013. I have lost a total of 81 LBS and I have more to go. The thing is that my hanging tummy won't go away no matter how much more weight I lose. So I'm getting a Tummy Tuck, Lipo in my back and fat transfer to butt. I feel like I'm getting the works. This will definitely help me get to my goal weight. I will post before, during and after pics. I'm putting a blog up specifically for my weight loss journey.

Good luck! I had a LBL, BL/BA, arm lift and neck lift this summer and I am so enjoying it now. I have a better body than I had in my 20s (I'm 49)! Just remember to increase your Protein for the extra you'll need for healing and take things slow!

I had Lipo, Tummy Tuck, back Lipo and butt fat transfer and it ran around $10K. It was worth every dime. The typical down time is like 10-14 days. But I took off till after the first of the year. More like any extra week. I'm recovering quite well. I was able to drive myself to the post Op appt on the 8th day. I was feeling pretting good. The first 4 days are the hardest.

Thanks for any info ????

I would definitely do it again in a heart beat. I love my results. I did everything at once. I feel amazing. Still sore and swollen but that goes away with time. No complaints

Immediated went from a size 16 to size 12 . I had a large hanging tummy . I still can't believe it's gone.

Do doctors perform multiple plastics at one operation? Tummy Tuck consult in one week. Can they take the useless tummy fat and "plump" up my boobs? No implants wanted. Anyone have any answers or tips? Thank you Ps. Not a youngster

Some doctors will, some won't. It also depends on what you want done. Not sure about the plumping.

Yeah no I they don't do that, they can put it in your butt, but not your boobs for some reason! Boobs have to be implants

Did you finance this or did insurance pay it? I'm an 8 and 170 and I'm sure with a Tummy Tuck I could be much smaller!

I had To pay for mine out of my pocket. Best investment ever. Before surgery I was a 16/18. Now I'm in size 12 and I'm still really swollen Which means I could be smaller . Yayy. I can't wait.

      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.
