PS?

Hi Everyone Had my 10mons post-op visit went well.1st had to give blood a-g-a-i-n hated it but the nurse got it in one shot.2nd my doctor shocked me bysaying I' m ready for a tummy tuck.I thought my whole body had to be saggy for ps.My stomach is floppy but doesn't look bad in clothing,I can hind it.Anyway he said that I see him in 4mons,takes picture send it to my insurance companied for approval .Wish me luck.Oh lost another 17lbs since I saw my doctor making total of 85lbs. Good night everyone Smooches Claire

Congrats on the loss! As for the PS, don't do it unless you really want it!! Doctors are always recommending stuff, but when I get closer to my goal I'll see how I feel about whether or not to do PS. Nitey nite

Claire, Congrats that all is well hun and on your weight loss What is your total? I have to agree with Violet, only do it if YOU are ready and want to!!! Maybe take some time and really research it. I know sometime in my future I will be going for some but for now I just want to see how I will be looking after I reach goal. Take care Debra P

Claire: Consider waiting AT LEAST a yr to see how much you lose THEN 6 months to have a stable wt. Make sure you do enough protien/vits to prep body as anemia is a risk w/ wls and ps! Also IN MYOPINION Take it at YOUR pace..See how you feel in your new body...also CONSIDER HIGHLY seeking Plastic surgery ONLY with a BOARD certified PLASTIC SURGEON! and one who has done body contouring with LOTS of Bariatric patients. DO NOT just get a Tummy Tuck with any surgeon (esp a general surgeon) and please do lots of research!
