Tummy tuck prior to sleeve



Recommended Posts

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.....

      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?

      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.
