Tt Date Booked!



Recommended Posts

Hello hello everyone.....long time no chat. I am happy to back in the giant loop we call Lapbandtalk!

Just a little update, I have booked my TT reconstructive surgery. I have lost 125 lbs and am ready for the big step. I have just read a thread about how close to goal you should be before you do your TT. I am in favour of the thought that if you are comfortable with the weight that you are able to maintain you should do what you need to for yourself. Personally my TT is completely comfort based, I am far to old and too taken to be concerned with what anyone thinks. I do however have an absolutely ENORMOUS pannus and the goal is to have this removed and the tummy reduced.

I am a runner and I am finding that this giant pannus is a serious issue with my ability to run long distance, I still run, but I think that this will makes worlds of difference in my comfort.

Quick question.....has anyone experienced a XXXLrg size pannus reduction? And if so can you give me any advice?

Thanks for any comments or help anyone can provide. Best to all

:kiss2:

I am a self pay, the surgery just TT is 5450.00 Canadian. Pretty good apparently. He is a well known surgeon in the area and certainly an amazing personality. You can check out the website at Welcome to the Blue Water Surgical Centre

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
