Bariatric to Cosmetics

[MsTiffyxox 4]

I will try to make this short as possible. I had a Sleeve done Oct' 2015. During spring 2017 i started to consider cosmetic surgery everything changed with weight loss. Along the process the doctors ive gotten consultations with they told me my BMI was still too high. By the beginning of 2017 i had already hit a plateau so i started to do pouch tests, different diets, and add new tips to help me lose more weight. Someone along the way mentioned revision i had no idea what it was or heard of it. I did some research and contacted my original Surgeon from my sleeve i love him and his staff. fast forward here i am just completed my pre op exams and testings for a revision this month everything will be submitted to the insurance company . my goal id for 6 months post op my revision go for another consultation and have full body work done.

among getting ready for my revision sleeve to bypass, ive still continued to research for surgery and post op care.

Looking to have : 360 Lipo, BBL, Breast lift maybe w/ implants , TT, arm lift.

Looking to have Surgery Fall 2019, internationally. it will be out of pocket 100%.

Anyone have post op Bariatric tips to help transition into getting ready for cosmetics?

I have no idea what your ultimate goal weight is but those I know who have had some of the procedures you mention have been at their goal weight for at least 1 year prior to cosmetic surgery. This is likely to help avoid having to have things redone if you lose a significant amount of weight after having your cosmetic procedures.

It might be best for you to concentrate on reaching your weight loss goals after your revision surgery, commit to exercise and see where you are in a year. I am planning cosmetic surgery (face/neck lift) once I am at my goal but as much as I want it I only want to go through it once. It is expensive!!

Not sure what you are looking for in terms of advice exactly. Post my sleeve, I pretty much didn’t eat and stuck with a the liquid diet followed by soft food for 3 months to help me detox my body and start a new relationship with food. For me that was the secret to the success of my surgery I feel. It’s been 5 years and whenever I stray I remember how I and my body felt after those 3 months and that always seems helps me go back on track. Took me 4 years to let go of the weight and 1 year to stabilIze and just had my plastics done recently. I would say please don’t jump into plastics, not only because it’s expensive but also because it’s way more painful than any bariatric surgery and the recovery process is seriously tough. Hope this helps

That will be a year out from surgery but not a year out from your goal weight. They want to know you will be maintaining a stable weight for at least a year.
