Plastic Surgery
Hello, I had the realize band on 12/10/08 and I have only lost 21lbs so far. I wanted to know if anyone has had plastic surgery since their procedure? If so where did you go, what did you have done and how much did it cost? How long was your recovery? I live in Indianapolis, IN on the Southeast side. I would like to have a body lift, but I have been thinking about having a tummy tuck and lipo on my thighs. thanks..
Nicole,
I wouldn't even think about plastics until you are within 20 lb or so of your goal weight. You didn't put that weight on over night and you aren't going to lose it over night. It is recommended that you lose the weight and maintain that loss for AT LEAST 1 year. Plastics can be a very serious surgery and can have some very serious risks. Do not do it to lose weight. Do it to lose the SKIN. I went through Dr. Bergman. I absolutely love her. She does excellent work and is very reasonable. My recovery though? I had complications and instead of out for 7 weeks, I was out for 7 months! And I am STILL...17 MONTHS later, battling these complications. I'm heading to the Mayo clinic on the 17th because of them...so yes, MAJOR complications. I even was in a coma for 9 days because of it.
Until you lose more weight...I would completely shelf the idea of plastics. It would be a waste of money for you if you had it right now.
