So first off I can afford a TT with lipo.

MONEY ISNT A PROBLEM.

I kind of want more for clothing and trips I wouldn't do before a TT

However the whole point of this is I want a TT!

I have had a hangy tummy since I was 15! At my very skinniest 99lbs i had a pouch.

Now at 35 I have had a c section lost over 100lbs and its worse obvi.

The Insurance I have will not cover anything unless my skin hangs past my vagina. Even if I only weighed 100lbs my skin would not hang that low sadly. I wish it would. This economy is crazy.

As a girl who just wants to wear a swim suit. To not look pregnant in everything I wear. And feel ok in my body again.

And Kind of have the body I had before my c section.

Do i really need the lipo.?

I am already thick. I just wanna be me without the over hang lol 😆

Ive been big

I've been skinny

Right now I am just in the middle with excess skin from weight loss. I just deep down want that gone.

Hubby and I talked it over and if after a few years I still want lipo we will do it after.

Even a TT would be a big big difference for me.

Please let me know your experience. And please share pics.

Thank you thank you!!

Just wondering 🤔 I have been told I am a good candidate for insurance to cover the panniculectomy in the past. Working with this surgeon to see what he thinks.

Did insurance cover any of your surgery?

Was it a hard fight to get insurance to help?

I cannot stop thinking about the surgery.

I have months to go. October 8th I have a nicotine test then we can schedule surgery after that.

I have some silly questions since it's so far but honestly I am obsessed with all things tummy tuck.

I have a boston terrier who I rescued. He is attached to my hip. I want to think I will have a recliner and my husband can help him get on and in a comfy spot by me. Am I delusional 😕 for thinking that could work? I was also going to buy a hysterectomy pillow for when I come home he jumps a little and again is attached to my hip. Is this also crazy? Do we have to limit our contact for a week or so?

Second. My PS has the drains come out in the pubic area. Anyone who had them there was it awful? Any tips.

Thanks ppl and thanks for reading this all.

😄

I was upfront and honest about my vape usage with my surgeon. They have a 3 month wait period before they will even schedule the surgery.

I stopped vaping and started taking chantix.

I am happy I was honest but it seems like a long wait period.

My nicotine test is out 8th and then when I pass we will schedule my extended TT with lipo.

So I have a lot of time to kill. I know I should work on my strength while in the waiting period.

Is there anything else you wish you had done before? Like house wise or anything.

TIA

I have lost a ton of weight. Had a c- section. Lost more weight. Now im left with a tummy I hate. I went for my consult and due to BMI I have another huge fee for a surgery center.

Not their in house surgical rooms.

I wanna scream and cry. Everytime I get close to this procedure some other thing comes up.

Has anyone gone to Mexico or Canada for a tummy tuck? Was it worth it?

So after 14 years of dreaming of this day I have a consultation for a tummy tuck. I'm so excited and have been hyerfixated on all things tummy tuck.

Quitting taping has been hard any tips on that?

Is there anything you did before hand, like supplements changed diet etc, that you think helped with your surgery and recovery?

All tips welcome.
