Plastic Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Everyone loves to tell me that since I'm still young, I won't need plastic surgery when I'm done losing weight. Not so sure about that. I see guys who now weigh more than I do, but look better. I still look like I have a little gut, even though my BMI is no longer obese. I'm trying firming creams and wraps soon, but just curious if anyone else around our age had to have an abdominoplasty or liposuction. Here are my stats: 28 5'11 HW 347 SW 317 CW

I am 28 my arms firmed up a bit, but the tummy was a no go even after creams and wraps. I had to have a Tummy Tuck and I feel it was so worth it! :)

@@CRNA

hey dude

you look amazing :rolleyes:

creams and wraps didn't help me

but we're all different

i can't tell how your tummy is in real life

do you have a lot of extra skin "in there" (your middle)

same with other areas

hard for me (and probably OP to be able to tell) from a pic

PS is a very personal decision

don't do anything in haste

(or because someone says to do or not to do)

YOUR body and YOUR decision!!

success/goal

look at you now!!!

woo hoo

party dance

maintenance - good luck with that ;)

tummy tuck - was so worth it! :)

@@Katnroyal

you look great too!!!

when you are a youngun ;)

20's - your body has more elasticity

therefore it usually firms up better/more

than an old fart of 62!! (me!!)

it took awhile - few month to a year

but my "disappeared" rear end skin did firm up a "bit"

enough for me to notice (not hubby til i pointed it out LOL)

your before and after pics!!!

holy moly kiddo

you look great!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
