Had to get re-approved and it came in this week. Date for first set is 2/10. I find out Friday what they are doing on the first surgery! This time they also approved the arm... I'm stunned to say the least and I have until May 2020 to get everything done.

Guess I gained about 15-20 lbs over the years. Had some complications from a surgery that caused weight loss. Sit at a size 10 since wls. Love my TT. Going for lipo in February just to add some definition to waist.

Biggest thing I found from plastics is that it is addictive. Regain is normal. after the honeymoon period after WLS it is normal. Just keep to the rules and watch intake. While I can have a cheat day still cannot eat much. Fat and carbs will make me sick still. Forget large amounts of sugar or ice cream.

Love my new release on life. Living better and love life since had my RNY 8 years ago.

Thank you, Leslie! Have you stayed the same weight? experienced regain? lost any weight since your procedure? I have worn a compression tank from Slimpressions for quite some time, every day and it helps me feel "put together"... do you feel "together"? if that makes sense?

Had a Fleur-de-lys TT about 7 years ago. I dealt with the skin below belly button as weel as above. The surgeon was able to remove all abdominal excess tissue. If you have excess skin above belly button the FDL is the way to go as it solves those issues. while just a TT will tighten the muscles it wont deal with excess skin on the sides. As the pain is basically the same (the muscle repair hurts the most) why not do it at the same time.

it's the same. I asked my surgeon's nurse if the surgeon included "muscle tightening" as part of his abdominoplasties, and she said yes, but that it was technically the fascia they tighten rather than the muscle (I'm guessing that means it's the fascia they REPAIR, too....but not sure about that...)
