my tummy tuck diary

[HoPe*87*]

Well thought I'd start a diary here about my plastics journey.
I've had weight loss surgery in February 2011 so im now 16 months post op I had a sleeve at Sunderland royal hospital. I've lost 9 stone in total and im at goal at 9 stone 7. So here I am! I've got my date and I go in for abdominal plasty on the 18th of July at Durham university hospital.

Oh how exiting, I will also follow your journey. I will hopefully only be 2-3 weeks after you with my TT

 

[HoPe*87*]

Thanks. Im absolutely cr*pping myself more so than I was when I went in for my sleeve. I think its the pain and longer recovery I'm really worried about

 

[piglet8]

I'm the same, wasn't worried at all with my bypass as I felt I couldn't possibly go any lower than the rock bottom I was at but now I'm really scared about having horried complications or dying for the sake of perky boobs and flat tum! Lol I'm sure we'll both be fine though x

Yeah I'm the same I knew I had to have my wls to save my life so I think that made it easier to cope with! Im worried il get an infection or something will go wrong. I also want my boobs doing next I'd have preferred boobs then tummy but getting it the other way hopefully. I know I shouldn't twist because I'm luck that my pct is funding it as lots won't. I'm sure we will be fine

I am sure you will both be fine, if you want it bad enough then it will happen and you will overcome whatever you have to. Thinking of you Becky xx

Please don't take this the wrong way but that doesn't look that bad. I don't think I could ever post mine.

 

[HoPe*87*]

Sorry I don't know why there upside down lol

 

[piglet8]

We'll done on still being smoke free. Your tummy looks pretty much the same as mine, slim underneath melted skin. It will look rocking when done x

I think everyone should get funding if they need it. Unfortunately life just doesn't work that way.
