Anyone had a tummy tuck after weight loss?



Recommended Posts

A year after I had my sleeve surgery I had a Tummy Tuck. I am praying that when I lose weight this time I will bounce back somewhat. Anyone with this experience?

Thanks!

But

Question: Are you considering a second TT or WLS? Or just losing regain?

My aunt had TT after 2 years maint. Then gained and lost but now the TT isn’t as pretty as it was but it’s not terrible.

they say more than a 10 lb gain or loss will affect your plastic surgery (to be honest, that's one of the main reasons I had it - as an additional incentive to keep from gaining weight!). As the above person said, it may not be as nice as when you had it done, but unless you've gained back all of your weight, it shouldn't go back to the way it was pre-plastic surgery. At least I wouldn't think so...

Greentealael,

I had WLS in `1998 and a Tummy Tuck with in a year. I am working through getting through all the hoops to have a by-pass due do a medical condition.

Thanks all!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
