I am 25 years old.  I have had RNY, sucessfully lost 115 lbs ...

I had plastic surgery 3 months ago.
tummy tuck. lipo. breast augmentation...

loving my results :)

I am currently in school full time and at this time have no interest in becoming pregnant but within the next 5 years, I will hope to have everything in line and can go ahead with that portion of my life.

MY question is, Are there any of you out there post weight loss sx and post TT ??
I have already discussed with my Plastic surgeon and Bariatric surgeon about this and everything I have done up until this point has been approved and agreed apon by all because of my age and stage! (just wanted you all to know that before i get any rants about pregnancy post TT) :)

Thanks for any personal info you may be able to share! :)

Me! Me! Me! 

Congrats on your success in getting healthy and enjoying your new life. Awesome, isn't it?

Ok...here's a little time line of my situation in the past few years or so:

2002~child #1 was born when I was 26. I was around 240lbs
2003~joined obesityhelp.com and began research on RNY
2004~Decided to have one more child before surgery. Child #2 was born. I was around 260lb
12/04~RNY surgery
04-08 happily maintained my weight and enjoyed being a skinny mom chasing my two toddlers
2008~Fleui-de-Lis (anchor, inverted T whatever term you want to use) Tummy tuck and Breast Lift
07/10~Happily surprised with baby #3 at 34 years old.

I'm due in March and so far my tummy tuck is still holding up well. I also had muscle repair and have a CRAZY huge scar down my midline and of course a fake belly button. I'd be lying if I said that I'm not apprehensive at all about the months that lie ahead but mainly I know it will be fine! I really don't mind if anyone is critical of my situation or not. I feel great and am very ahppy about it all. Yes, I'd do a TT again even knowing I'd get preggo. It's fine. I'd hate to be pregnant with all the redundant skin I had.

Let me know if you have any questions.





I've been here since 2002, I just like to pretend I am NEW!

I had RNY in Sept 2004 lost 220 lbs in 15 months. Had TT/ Breast aug w/ implants March 2006.

 First born April 2008. When I got pregnant with her I did not show until 7-8 months I mostly grew wider instead of forward which I might add sucked but may be contributed to gaining 70 lbs. I did lose it all and my tummy was still flat and tight.

Second born August 2009. Started showing sooner 6-7 months but could definately tell it was streched more than the first, but again grew wider. Gained 70 lbs again - she is 14 months old and I still have 40 to lose to pre preg weight. Tummy is not so tight and is slowing losing its firmness, mostly contributed to my own lack of exercize and laziness.

So my advice - only gain the recomended amount and eat healthy you should be just fine.

Good luck when you are TTC!
