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

Thanks chrisa. I have a bit weight to loose and to stop smoking before my pre op :( I need all the luck I can get lol x
 
Congrats on getting your funding and date hun! Ive had my pre op for tummy tuck so just waiting on my date now. Cant wait to read your tummy tuck diary once its complete! I will also be doing one soon as i get my date. Good luck hun xxx
 
So many of us getting our TTs over the next couple of months. Should be useful for swapping post op recovery moans and groans and highlights :)
 
I've quit smoking as of today I know I should have done is sooner than now but I'm hoping they will still do my op. Looking forward to hearing everybody's story and all supporting each other through our surgery xx

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

Thanks yve I know there are a lot of people that have a lot worse loose skin than I do. I'm pleased my pct have granted the funding for me.
I hope you to will one day get the chance to get a tummy tuck if u want one that is a lot of people loose there weight and are happy with that x

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