Should I get pregnant before or after plastics



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm down 50 pounds and starting to sag according to my doctor. I've got 40 more pounds to go. My biological clock is also ticking. Should I get plastics or baby first? I really don't know what to think. I'd appreciate advice

Should I get pregnant before or after plastics

@@mercy96

I have seen discussion on the board "when should people have plastics"

some choose to have it done right after surgery

many docs tell people to wait at least a year after goal before plastics

the reason for the latter is that your body usually firms up a "little"

for me my "disappearing" tushy/hanging skin - did tighten up a bit

would try for that wonderful baby first

remember, practice makes perfect ^_^

you've lost 50 lbs :)

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

Totally the baby first. When I went in for my consult the doctor asked me if I planned to get pregnant soon, and I said, no, but why do you ask? He said that medically there was no reason, but I just wouldn't get to enjoy my results for as long. Get the babies out of the way, save that plastics money, and then when you're done having kids go for the nip/tuck and you will get to enjoy your results the rest of your life.

This is a topic I've been thinking about a lot myself lately. I'm almost a year out now and down 100lbs, I've just started to research plastics and their cost/the doctors I may be interested in. I currently have no significant other but do want kids at some point. when I find someone I dont want to jump right into baby making (thought the "practice" will be fun ;3 ) so I figure that I'm at least a min of 2 years out from having a baby. that will make it three years that I would get to live with the skin sack... :/

Are there any ladies here on the board that have had children post plastics willing to talk about their experience? did your body go back with the healthy eating and exercise or did you have a revision to your plastics?

      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.
