Tummy Tuck After Gastric Bypass - Orange, CA

Worth It
Spent: $9,880 in Orange, CA

Comments (1)

Posted 10 Sep 2011

I had a gastric bypass about 18 years ago and lost 120 pounds. I had 2 children and maintained my weight at around 140-145 lbs. I just had a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago.

I was expecting pain and suffering, but was pleasantly surprised to have very little to none. My doctor uses a marcaine pain pump after surgery and I never even felt it when it ran out. My back hurt more than anything else. My doctor did a great job. I had all of the excess skin removed and was up and around within one week. I am not sure how long it takes others to get out and about, but for me it was quite pain free and the results are great. I now have a tummy of a 20 year old!!! I am still a little tired but all in all it was well worth it.

My rating:

I have nothing to compare to since I only have one tummy and one tummy tuck, but I had no issues and very personal care, I only saw the doctor and quite regularly.

Thanks so much for posting your very positive experience! I am going in for full TT tomorrow morning... and I am so nervous. But, reading your post helped to ease my nerves. If I recall correctly, my PS will be giving me a pain pump, too. So, I hope my experience will be similar to yours! Thanks again. : )
