Pretty nervous trying to get some strength for my TT. I am 60 an had a rny gastric bypass 7 years ago I have maintained my weight. Been on this siteam for a long time. I have had 3 consultant over the years. I went to a seminar in July and loved what the doctor had to say. He only does one procedure at a time so he asked me what bothered me the most and he said we would start with the TT. He recommended the Fleur-de-lis because I have so much skin. I really don't care about the scar I don't think I will be wearing a bikini soon. Looking for support from the group and any suggestions.

60 Years Old & Ready to Take a Walk on the Flat Side. Does Anyone Know How Long the Procedure Takes?

I can tell you I'm very nervous but way so ready. Former gastric bypass in 2011 and wanted this for a long time. My office and doctor haven't been review so that is a bit scary. My doctor is so nice I'm hoping that will make a difference. I've had 2 consultants in the past and didn't really like the doctor's. Dr. Liliav has been very caring and understanding so far. He said I need a Fleur di lis because I have lots of skin and have lots of muscle repair and it will improve the look so much better. I don't really care about the scar just hope it's straight. LOL. Does anyone know how long the procedure takes? Guest estimates are ok Thank you everyone for your support. I need it.

Happy for you. 14 weeks post op and still have a drain with 40cc. Ugh. Unable to enjoy any part of this. Here's hoping you get your drain out.

Wow what does you door say about that. I still have the one drain but it goes down everday. Hugs

He says my skin flap were so big he's not surprised. Yesterday 33cc. here's hoping that today down from there. How low does yours have to be before he pulls it? Mine says 20cc.

He didn't say but my other tube that was pulled was about 20 so that sounds right. Gee I went and did a bit of shopping. I should have wiped out.
