I am 5 years out and maintained about 100lbs lost (plus or minus I had 2 children) I am scheduled to have an anchor cut TT on July 24th, I am reading my preop instructions and it says you might not be able to eat much after because your muscles are tightened.

Do any of you have any experience with the TT? Did you have any band related complications??

You might want to post this on the Plastics boards.

I had a small unfill about 2 weeks after my tummy tuck because things felt very tight overall.

i had nothing done to my band before the tummy tuck, except my plastic surgeon called my bariatric surgeonto discuss my port and tubing configuration.

Best of luck.  I LOVE my flat tummy

Did they have to move the port?  I have read on the PS boards of some that had them moved and some that went to a lower profile.

That is where mine always way, not that my BB is very cute.    This third surgery I had a different surgeon and now I have a nasty scare.  You couldn't even see the ones from the other two surgeries.
