Male TT July 2nd After Extensive Weight Loss - Prague

Hi I am 29, 5'8 and have gone from 274lbs to 156lbs over the last 5 years. As a result I have a large apron of skin around my abdomen. I must say I am lucky that most people don't realise it is there, but obviously I know and after working so hard I am ready to take the final step... I actually qualified to get my surgery done on the NHS and was on the waiting list for 2 years, unfortunately they took me off last year as funding for such operations was withdrawn. I would love to have had it done with my original surgeon as he was outstanding and totally put me at ease, although he was way too expensive and out of my price range at £8,500 (about $13,000US) privately. So after searching for a 6 months I decided to go abroad and picked a surgery in Prague. I am excited and nervous but more ready to see the 'new' me... I am not looking for miracles just ready to feel somewhat more normal, especially as I was overweight for as long as I can remember. I will add some pictures of me before the weightloss, pre and post surgery (when that happens).

This is me 2 weeks pre-op

Hi Guys,

Feel up to giving you some details. Well surgery went really well and I'm very impressed with the care in the clinic (Perfect Clinic - Prague).

Had a groggy first day as expected but practically pain free. I found it very difficult to move, more so through fear than anything else. I have managed to go to the toilet a few times and now unaided. Went for a walk to visit kcsunshine a fellow TT'er on here who had her surgery done right after mine. She is the model of recovery! As usual women putting the men to shame... I nearly overdid it and went a bit dizzy in her room... Although her hubby to be have me his seat and she let me use her bed as a foot stool :)

Saw the scars too... Pic is attached. I am so overjoyed! I am majorly swollen and it was a full on fluer de lis, but the results even now have astounded me!

Dr Padera told me they removed 1003gms of skin... Over 1 kilo of skin, couldn't believe it. Was scheduled for a TT with Lipo but he said that my fat layer was too thin to Lipo. Well I didn't complain and knew the scars would be extensive.

So far 28 hours post op I feel great! I hope everyone who is PO are doing well and on the road to recovery... For everyone awaiting their surgery, good luck and you won't regret it x
