Have any women thought about getting a Tummy Tuck or breast lift? I was against it right after surgery but now seeing how saggy and deflated everything is I may reconsider. I do exercise cardio (4days) strength (1 to 2 days) a week Thoughts ladies?

I plan on mortgaging my life out to my 90's in order to get the surgeries. lol! I want a full body lift. That's legs, butt, tummy, breast, arms and maybe neck. I was over 350 at my highest and I'm only 5"1'. I have a lot of saggy skin. A. Lot.

I needed a lift and reduction pre-surgery, and definitely am looking in to getting one when I reach maintenance. I have a surgeon in Houston already picked out, although my husband would probably want me to stay local, it'll be cheaper, but I like the Horndeski Method (now called something else). It's pretty cool.

Not sure about the TT though, we shall see when it's closer to time.

I'm planning on having a breast reduction/lift when I reach my goal weight. I've always been stacked, and I have pain from them now, as well as 2 bulging discs in my neck. I'm hoping the weight loss and muscle strengthening when I start lifting will help with the pain, but I'm sure they are gonna look scary once I reach goal. I'm open to having a Tummy Tuck if necessary, but I'll see how my stomach recovers before I make up my mind.

Horndeski has had privileges revoked from the medical board for his practices, Google it.

Really!? I'll look it up. That's probably why he sold it or whatever and now it's a different name.

Interesting. I read some horror stories about him, but I didn't pay a lot of attention but there are a couple people he completely botched.

It's peer related, four years ago. Nothing about his actual practice or method or quality of care .

On April 12, 2013, the Board and Gary Michael Horndeski, M.D., entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Horndeski to obtain within 30 days an independent medical evaluation from a psychiatrist and follow all recommendations for continued care and treatment, within one year complete 16 hours of CME including eight hours in risk management and eight hours in communications skills with professional colleagues and pay an administrative penalty of $1,000 within 60 days. The Board found Dr. Horndeski was disciplined by peers at Angleton Danbury Medical Center regarding issues related to competency, conduct and behavior and had his membership and privileges at ADMC revoked.

I always told hubby I want new boobs for my 40th. Maybe I'll add a Tummy Tuck now too. 😁

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
