Hi! I am still about 50 lbs. away from visiting Plastic-ville, however, how much time do they require you to take off. I am sure it is different depending on the procedure done. At this time I am thinking about a TT and breast lift. Any info. would be greatly appreciated!

:lol:

hi, i had an extended TT (with muscle repair) and mega Lipo to flanks, back and tummy.

i had my surgery on Friday 2/29 and will be returning to work 1/2 time this coming Monday 3/10. so Friday and a week off then 1/2 time the following week.

not sure how its going to work out, if i cant do 1/2 time, i'll take the rest of the week off. if the 1/2 time is fine, i'll do full days...

long reply to a basic question, sorry.

I am thinking 2 weeks plus 2 weeks telecommuting. Depends on whether or not you have a desk job. Either way I would say 2-4 weeks.

I visited "plastic-ville" before I got the band........I had Full Tummy Tuck and muscle/hernia repair. I have a physical type job. Up and down, stooping and walking and picking up heavy packages etc...so my Dr. first wanted me out for 3 weeks but when I did to much to fast my swelling got really bad and the drains had to stay in for an extra week so I was out a total of 4 weeks. Here are some pics

      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?
