Tummy tuck! Piks



Recommended Posts

Recovery-- the pain was horrible the first week (again, they removed 8.14 lbs of skin) the second week is manageable. I was back at work in one week... 2 weeks would have been nice. I am 6 weeks out, I just started sleeping in my bed again!! still wearing the girdle for another 2 weeks. I should be back at the gym any day now (no sit ups). Everyday is easier and easier. I have lost 18 lbs since the TT. I am so glad I did this! Totally worth the EXTREME pain! ☺️☺️☺️

Where did you sleep instead, if not in your bed?

I love it. Congratulations. You deserve it. Questions:

- how much weight did you lose?

- how long did it take to lose the weight?

- how long did you maintain the weight loss before the surgery?

- any tips you wish to share?

- anything you wish you had done differently?

- your age (range is fine)?

Many thanks.

I was at 240 before the sleeve, I was at 160 TT day. Currently 140.

18 months

I was at the same wt for 5 months

(Not at goal) got to goal after TT part of the wt loss was the 8.14 lbs of skin removal

Tips- take tons of before piks!

-Clean and clean before your surgery, it takes a while to get back to normal.

-Have a recliner and lots of pillows ready

-have all your meds, gauze, tape etc etc ready

-button up pajamas

-you need an accessible room/restroom (1st floor)

I am super happy! I just wish, I would have stayed home for another week post op

28yrs

☺️let me know if you have any other questions☺️

You look amazing. How much weight dod you lose? How much was the procedure? What was your experience having it done in Mexico?

I lost 80 before the TT and I've lost 20 more since. It was $4.500 for TT and flank Lipo. The experience was great everyone was very nice ☺️☺️ and its only 2.5 hrs away from here (Phoenix) .

      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.
