Cant believe it...



Recommended Posts

But I went to see an plastic surgeon in Holland and got sheduled for an full Tummy Tuck the 8th of March. I went for an consultation and wanted to shedule my breast first thinking I had to loose more weight. I lost 70 kg. And as my stomach is still HUGE I thought I had to get more off. Which has turned out very very hard! According to her I should not loose more weight as I have a lOT of excess skins which will be kilo's. And she does not see much fat elsewhere. She convinced me to apply to my insurance for my breasts ( I wanted to have this done first and pay myself then my stomach) as this would save me a lot of money and she complete refused to do both at same day. Too risky she said with my condition. As this doctor came very recommended ( I did an search on internet and dutch forums) and we clicked I said hmm ok go ahead and she said well I can help you on the 8th of March.. I said how much.. She said the price 5350 Euro around 7800 usd. I did a fast calculation and said ok!. I went home called my bank and asked for a short loan in case I lacked 1000 which got approved immediately.

I just cant believe it. When I look at my stomach I just cant see they can ever make something decent of that. Its huge and hangs over my legs. I cant see it happening but I guess cant look anyworse than it does now. I am absolutely disgusted with my stomach. I just cant wait till its all done and am also totally freaking out. They have to cut off so much meat and skin to make anything decent out of this...

Who knows after all that skin removed I actually hit an acceptable weight..

Marillon: Very exciting! I'm having a Tummy Tuck and breast lift on March 4th! You should join the Feb/March Plastic surgery forum as well. Very nice people there who are all experiencing the same things. So, you'll be doing the stomach first and then your breasts at a later date? Will you be having a breast reduction or another procedure? Does insurance cover any of this in Holland? Can't wait to hear more. I wish you the best!

      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.
