Please no hate. If yu don't approve of surgery just PLEASE hide this thread.

This is the culmination of a 15 year journey of disordered eating, multiple pregnancies, 100lb weight gain, and weightloss.
I cannot tone in the gym. I cannot 'just wear a bra' 24/7.

I want to be as prepared as possible for recovery.

No advice, but I hope it goes well for you!
Im kinda curious how much it costs though... Not something Id do as Im a giant chicken but I know from experience the loose skin from losing over 100Ibs can be shocking. You def reach a point where only surgery can make a difference.

I did it two years ago. Full tummy tuck and back lift after losing 8 stone.

I had no big issues afterwards, recovery was good and I was ok with just paracetamol and ibuprofen. I was super cautious about moving too much because I had 147 stitches. They cut me hip to hip and breastbone to pubic bone. I have a T shaped scar that’s mostly faded to silver.

They took 1 stone of skin off me altogether. I love my flat stomach now and I would do it all over again!

Tha you so much for that.

So you have the Fleurdelis?

I'm hoping to just get away with the extended TT.

Also looking at lymphatic massages, are they worth it.

You're having them done at the same time?

Im intrigued about how you lie down or sleep afterwards, is it both together?

I have lost about 9 or 10 stone (depends what I weigh on any given day) and I was all up for getting it all done but it seems a lot to do, I would need thigh, tummy, muffin top, breasts (now odd sized pitta breads that no bra can manage) and arms

I would have thought its an operation for each one at a time, resulting in about 40k of work, plus all the recovery time and risk of surgery

So I just wear well disguising clothes.
