Hi ... I had 2 tummy tucks 1 due to a surprise pregnancy later in life. 1 20 years ago. My surgeon said it makes it a little more complicated because when they use the gas it’s harder to get your stomach to stretch. He said he has done several VSG afterTT & all successful. Hope that helps I know this post is older. If anyone has had one I would love some input. MyVSG is June

Thank you for replying. Do u mind if I ask who did your VSG, was it in Mexico? I have schedule to go with Dr. Illan and I'm pretty nervous about it. I' definitely tight from the weight gain. Parially due to my thyroid bottoming out. Again thank u for sharing

Jenpa, thank you as well. It's comforting to read the physicians are comfortable and successful. Abdominal compliance is definitely challenging. I am tight and with the weight gain I feel extremely tigh. Which of course makes me so nervous. I've decided to go with Dr. Illan in May. So if anyone has used him after TT. I would love their input as well.
