I got accepted and referred for a Tummy Tuck and also a Skin lift

So happy

Great news!!

Is it private funded or on the good old NHS?

Awesome!!
Good luck

Sweet! I'm definitly going to do that after I have my kids and hit goal. How much money do I need to save up for it? Or better yet what do I need to do to get insurance to cover that

the NHS yay

lol and i dont know about any insurance plan. i know the Dr said that it is purely a cosmetic operation unless you have shown what i have and that is that i have changed my lifestyle and also it is causin me distress

woooohoo! congratulations!

thank you my friend

When I went to my gp for my pre surgery physical she said too bad we didn't have a history of skin issues with your apron (flap of skin around waist) then my insurance would have covered that part of my surgery now she tells me - oh well I went thru with my mommy makeover anyway and am LOVIN IT!!!!

Good luck to you

What op did you have? just the tummy tuck?

i have been told i need a Abdomnial band taken away em a skin lift and also body contouring or body lift that is what he said a body lift . sounds good but also sore lol

i have to meet a guy who has been through a op at my local MMA Gym tomorrow. hopefully will give me some good insight into it

I had major muscle repair - he sinched me tight like a corsette as he put it and boy can I tell but it gave me a wonderful hour glass shape (dam hips) HA HA

I also had an extended tummy tuck went almost around each hip and well I also went with a breast lift- 3 kids and gaining a lot and losing a lot didn't help my girls and I also had breast aug so I kinda went for the works!

its unbelieveable and it kinda did a number on my head for awhile I guess I wasn't ready to look in the mirror and not recognize myself - I always had a tummy and now it's flat and I love my new belly button but I am still adjusting and I still wear my huge fleece pull overs and large tops as I'm just not ready I guess but I do like myself at home I just dont like to draw attention to myself

I did have the pain pump but ended up having a very bad reaction to the meds so that came out right away. The pills and having someone to help really got me thru - the first 2 weeks are the worst.

As my PS told me the day of my surgery - he said you will have buyers remourse for the first 3 days and wonder what you did but he said you will love it after - and he was right!

Congratulations and good luck!!!

sounds good
i am really exited about this whole thing. i can not wait for it to come
i would love to be in the place you are
its good that your happy

Thank you very much

You will be - just remember it takes time because your skin is healing from the inside out - I had my drain in for 10 weeks YIKES! and when I exercise or walk a lot I still get puffy but it's way better than before!!!

Good luck it is truly life changing

Thanks. I really can't wait. I know it will be a long ish recovery but as you say worth it. Really can not wait at all. Will have to use my holidays from work but they have been really good in helping me

Nice to see the success. With so many females on this board, I'm always looking for male success stories. Inspired.
