Tummy tuck prior to sleeve

[kimmie399 0]

Has anyone had a Tummy Tuck prior to gastric sleeve? I'm hoping to lose 50-70 pounds. I wonder since I did this backwards if anyone else could share with me their experience? Loose skin? Ok...shrinks back ?

Thanks

You can still have the sleeve. It's just you made need another Tummy Tuck after losing the weight. My friend is having the surgery and she too had a tummy tuck before losing any weight. I told her she will probably have to have another tummy tuck and she she snapped at me, but hey, a friend is there to be honest.

I had a Tummy Tuck in August 2011 and was sleeved in September 2014. My tummy tuck held up AMAZINGLY well. I had regained 80 pounds between when I had my tummy tuck and when I finally got sleeved. You can see pics in my gallery. No loose skin at all on my stomach after the re-loss. My arms and thighs are a different story.....

Edit: PM me if you want pics of my scars.
