I need your guys' help.

I have some questions.

Did all of your surgeons specialize in dealing with massive amounts of weight loss?

Did anyone have a Belt Lipectomy?

In a hospital? How long did you stay in the hospital? Recovery time?

I went on a consult with a surgeon that doesn't require his patients to be at a certain weight. He says that our bodies with only get to a certain weight and this excess tissue will affect our BMR and we won't drop any lower. That our bodies are in "shock" like we have been in an accident and we won't lose.

I just was wondering if anyone else had been told the same thing?

And what was the cost of your belt lipectomy and medial thigh?

I am completely overwhelmed with the information he gave me because it seems to go against what I have seen here on this site. Most people I have seen get surgery were at or very close to goal.

Thanks

well you are only 21 lbs to goal - that seems pretty close to me. Maybe he meant that at this point you are close enough.

I am 25 lbs from goal and going in for an extended Tummy Tuck and thigh lift 4/21.

Good luck with your PS, Julie. Also, thanks for sharing your b/4 and after photos. You are a beautiful woman. I hope you will also share your PS progress. It is so helpful to those of us that are considering PS in the future. :bolt:

Are you staying in the hospital? What is your recovery time? Is an extended Tummy Tuck the same as a belt lipectomy?

      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.
