Tummy tucks

[Emma2206]

As anybody gone on to have a tummy tuck after being banded ? I have lost 7 and a half stone , had 4 babies and two of them were a twin pregnancy , so pretty safe to say my stomach area looks like something out of a melted wax work disaster ! Seriously considering surgery ( if I can work out a way of paying for it ) but my questions are : Is it worth it Do they keep your band in situ How quick was your recovery time - I have 4 kids and work nights

Hi Emma,

Yep I had a tummy tuck 2yrs after my banding - very worth it.

Had mine done in Belgium and had a reasonable experience - aftercare wasn't great.

I've since had a different procedure in Poland and these guys also did Tummy Tucks - wish I'd gone there as they were vastly superior on both facilities and price (UK Surgeon too)

My band was kept in situ - recovery time to being back up and about was around 7-10 days.

Best of luck with it

I had tt 18 months after band. My band was repositioned as it was protruding (you could see the port coming out as I laid down).
Had band here and TT in Hungary. (I am Hungarian). Also had breast uplift.
Was worth it. I paid reasonable price.
