WORTH IT$9,560
I'm a 30 year old married mommy of 2 bio children and 2 foster children. I had lap band surgery in. 2007. At my heaviest I was almost 300lbs (5'9"). I lost 60 lbs in 10 months, then became pregnant with my son. Gain all of it back!! Had emergency c sec with him. Lost 30lbs in 7 months after his birth, and then became preg ate with daughter. Gain the 30lbs back. Had c sec with her. I wasn't very motivated to loose weight after that. Finally 2 years after the birth of my daughter, I started working with my lap band dr. I have lost 50lbs since Sept '12.
I had BR surgery 4/1/13 which insurance paid for. I went from a H to a C/D. 1 week after BR surgery I went to see a PS about a tummy tuck. Since my breasts were so much smaller my stomach looked so much bigger.
I had surgery on 5/9/13. Full TT and lipo of upper tummy and hips. Ps said 7-8 lbs of skin was removed and 4lbs of fat.
I'm 5 dpo today. Feeling better everyday. Only take pain pills at night. Slept in my bed for the first time last night. Was sleeping in recliner. Feeling a little down when I look at my mid section. Swelling is crazy. Still have 1 drain in. Get that out Friday. Have had 1 bm on day 3. Taking Senna daily. Hoping to update as often as I can.

Sounds like youre doing great!!! Seems like everyone complains about the swelling (me included). I too, have lost several pounds since my surgery. I had lost about 25 since January and now am at a weight I don't think Ive seen since high school!! My highest weight ever was a few years ago when I was 226. I was back up to 201 this past January. Preop I was 180 (I had gained a couple pounds binge eating the weekend before) and this morning I am 171.6!!!! Wooooohoooooo for us!!!!!!!

Yay!!! Awesome job! I love being a curvy girl. It's not really about the weight for me as feeling good about myself. I don't see myself getting below 200lbs and I'm ok with that.

Fostermommy, you don't look like you weighed 246. Are you tall? You're going to look great with your TT because the rest of your body was all ready well proportioned. Best wishes with your recovery

I'm 5'9.... I do carry my weight well.... Mostly in my butt and thighs now! Lol
May 16, 2013
Looking good!!! I'm heading into surgery in about 3 hours! I'm so inspired that you are feeling so good about a week out! Take care and happy healing!!!
May 16, 2013
Good luck! Praying everything goes well for u! Would love an update when u feel like it! See u on the flat side, as they say! :)

Wow you look good. Can I ask did you have your band deflated before TT done. Wondered if it would cause problems because of swelling.
May 16, 2013
No, I did not. My Ps wasn't very aggressive with lipo on the upper stomach due to my port. I'm glad we decided to it that way. My hips are finally starting to feel like their getting back to normally today (7dpo).

Interesting.My consultant here in the UK says leave it alone. But worry about swelling around the band. You know how painful that can be and also wind pain too. My band is lose at only 3mils as I am down to 126 pounds. Booked for 11th July but sooooooo nervous about the long recovery. Keep me posted and sleep well.

Take it easy today and rest. How's the swelling? Do you suffer with any wind after the op? It must take awhile for the body to heal itself so do take care. Keep thinking about that lovely flat tummy!!!
