You may want to consider having a revision to a DS. Check out the DS board for more info. The risk of regain is much, much lower.

Topic: RE: 2 year surgiversary
I'm about to sneak on into my surgiversary too! And my response to "would you do it again" is unequivocally, YES. I still remain the same 15 to 20 lbs from where I would like to be, but I look and feel totally full of life. A peek at my profile photo will show you why.

Good luck and God bless!

I started at 435, and am only down to 300lbs. What are the requirements for a revision?

Congrats on having your tummy tuck done! I bet you feel so much better having had that done!
I had tummy tuck with muscle repair & breast lift with augmentation done last November. But I had mine doen in Costa Rica.
This November I am heading back for some lipo to be done, then my transformation will be complete!

Topic: 2 year surgiversary
Hey all November 2003'ers
Mine has not been an easy journey and I am facing a revision in 2006 due to an enlarged stoma and pouch (neither are my fault).
I am 5'3.5", I started at a size 26 and got down to a 14 and now am an 18, I have gained back about 25#'s and working with my dietician on that. I never even got close to my goal, so I try and not focus on pounds lost, just on how I feel. Let's say, even people who don't try lose more that I did
Would I have the surgery again? yeah, I would. I am certainly not as quick as most to say yes to that question, but it is a yes. I would probably chose a different surgeon, though, but there is no guarentee that I wouldn't have had problems with another surgeon.
I am thankful for how I good I feel. All of my co morbidities are either gone or improved, and I continue to have a wonderful relationship with my husband. I am blessed in that regard as I know alot of couples do not make it afterwards. He's an awesome guy, who continues to be my biggest cheerleader and is always there with sympathy, and the very occasional I told you so when I dump ....to my special guy... Hon, I love you
I hope everyone is doing well on their journey
Topic: RE: Gas Pains...
Hi there - you are not alone with the painful gas!
I get painful gas occasionally. I think it corresponds to when I wear a pair of tight jeans that kind of digs in when I am sitting (which I am all day at work). By evening time I have a painful stomach & you can actually see the swelling from the gas. I do feel better by morning & I do not take anything. But it puts me in a sour mood for the night!
Topic: RE: new baby and tummy tuck
Congrats on the tummy tuck!
I had mine November 2004 & I am so pleased! I can now wear bikinis!
I'm going back for some lipo in less than 2 weeks.
I hope you will be very happy with your results!
