Well done on working hard and showing you can do it yourself!! I will get a letter for pre op assessment where hel talk me over everything and draw lines on me lol and then will go in for surgery! Xx

Thank you! I went to meet my surgeon and he was lovely, most embarrassing experience of my life tho!! I went in the room and there was my surgeon, a hunky student doctor and a nurse and the surgeon says 'we are just going to pop out the room for a moment and when we come back in could you be in only your knickers please' I was like OH MY GOD!! So off they went and to my knick knacks I got. They all come back in and make me stand in the middle of the room as they all stare and the surgeon prods and probes me everywhere, then he asks if he can pull my Knicks down at the bum so he can have a look, I think I must have been the colour of ketchup, so humiliating!! Anyway after all that he said 'I'm afraid I won't be doing your tummy tuck' my heart sank! And then!! He said 'I'm going to do a full body lift' and apparently that is an incision going right the way round my stomach and above my bottom resulting in loose skin being removed from stomach, sides and back, bum being pulled up and tightened which will result in upper legs to be lifted to, I cried like a little girl with happiness, he basically said a tummy tuck will be pointless as my back and bottom is loose too and in tightening my stomach I will have what they call dog ears, so it's all agreed and I'm on the waiting list but he said it will be this spring! I am the happiest girl in the world right now x

Hey I was wondering if you are getting this via NHS or private as this is my next step.

Well done on the amazing loss!! Bet you feel fantastic! X

I do still want to lose a couple more st. My dietitian said I may not beable to get my BMI to 25 just because of loose skin. :/ hopefully the NHS will help get rid of it. About 5 years down the line for me though. Things will probably change by then

Wishing you all the luck! All you can do is fight if the nhs won't help, but fingers crossed they will xxxx

 

[Jess<3]

have you got any dates yet? xx

very lucky, someone had a sleeve done on nhs. lost 30st and been turned down 3 times for body light. i guess its harder when you get surgery first to help.
anyway all the best for you! cannot wait until its my turn
(were you asked if you wanted kids etc before tummy tuck or anything?) x

[jessikahlashes]

Thanks Scarlett, I'm 3 days post op today. Still in hospital but getting stronger, physio had me walk with them yesterday and today around the ward for 5 minutes getting my strength back. Feel very strange, but not too bad, tummy and bum just feel so tight!! X posted a sneaky photo of my first sneak peak under the blanket after op xx

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Ooh how exciting! Good you have been up and about even if only for 5 Mins. It's bound to take a while to get back to normal after such a big op.
Can only begin to imagine how odd (in a good way) it must feel. Wish you a continued good recovery xxx
