Recommended Posts

Hi guys, its been quite a while but i am back. well it will be a year june 9th since having surgery. i am very satisfied with my slow weight loss. i've had people say that girl you look so healthy, your face doesn't look sulken in.

So i went in for a consult for a Tummy Tuck. the surgeon is a cutie:tt1:. well he told me 2 ways he could do it. i think i will go for the scar to go up and down, that way, my sides will be pulled in. he said unless you want to wear a 2 piece bikini. i was like no:thumbdown: and the cost $7,500 and it will cost lesser if my insurance company pays for the panne.

Congrats on your upcoming TT. I too will be having a vertical incision TT. I have so much extra skin that she told me that was the ONLY way that I was going to have any sort of contouring. I know that I alot of people are nervous about a vertical scar...but like you I never plan on wearing a bikini. It is good to hear about someone else having the same type of surgery. I hear they are much rarer than the single incision.

Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
