Tummy Tuck with Band - UK
ORIGINAL POST
Ok here goes i am 176lbs 5ft 4. I have lost alot...
$5,000
Ok here goes i am 176lbs 5ft 4. I have lost alot of weight, had 3large babies, 3sections, hysterectomy and to say the least my abdomen ruined..
I had a gastric band 5years ago and had only trouble with it..it has been empty 6months and isn't irritating my stomach now but where the port is just above belly button there is a protruding mass yuk!!
Went to see dean Boyce last night in Swansea and he said I need port removed to get a nice finish without it poking out..he said he could ask a bariatric surgeon to come in and remove it but will cost me double for 2surgeons.
Eeeek and he couldn't fit me in till next summer 2014 as I need school holidays as work in a school. But I wanted it done this summer. Well I found a surgeon who is bariatric/cosmetic at my local private hospital bridgend!! I got a consultation next Tuesday with him!! Hope he can help me.. I am getting married in Cyprus on 25th July this year and really would of loved tummy done on my return as still have 4weeks off work..
Hope all of you are ok I have been reading for around 3weels now ?

5to2 diet
Hey I started this diet 2weeks ago as I'm trying to get bmi down to 25-28 before wedding/op..
Well it's great you eat normal for 5days then fast for 2..it's also great for heart disease, diabetes,strokes it puts your body into a repair state and your organs start repairing by using up fat stores while fasting!!
I lost 4lb first week and then 1pound and half this week..
Very good way of life and don't feel like a diet.. On fasting days I have lots of energy and have cranked up fitness from once a week to 5a week..

Hi good luck with your appt. hope it goes well. I had the band 4 years ago and has been brill on the whole. Only now have a few ml in it. My TT MR and lipo is booked for 11th July here in the UK. Can't wait now. Count down. I have reached ideal weight of 9/1/2 stone so don't think should lose anymore said surgeon I am 5ft 4inch tall. What's your weight at the moment? Keep us posted how you get on. My port seems fine and is over my left side . Xx

Mygirl Well done on your weightloss My weight is 12stone 7lbs my heaviest was 19stone when my first child was born..I would like to be 11 something for wedding and op. how much weight did you lose from band? Are you having fler de lys tuck? As the first surgeon said I may be better off with that one as a lot of skin above bb..my port is centre abdomen and sticks out like a sore thumb. What part of UK are you having op done?

VERY DISSAPOINTED
Hi everyone
I am on a downer as I went to see ahmd hassn the bariatric/cosmetic surgeon and he said he will take band out this year and next year i can have tuck done..I dont mind keeping the band in as long as i cant see port protuding. Well the 1st surgeon I saw sent me and my gp a letter stating he had spoken to his colegue bariatric surgeon and its advised I leave it in as 2procedures have many more risks for the abdomen.. He has referd me to his colegue on the nhs so god knows how long that will be..Not going anywhere fast!!
Head banging as dont know what to do and in waiting again..

I had a tummy tuck in Belgium and paid about £1800 but that was in Jan 2009. Best thing I ever did. My port also protrudes a little but its a small price to pay to keep my weight down.I know an excellent tummy tuck surgeon in Poland if u want his details. He charges around £2000.
