That's what I was told the ins will pay for skin removal but not muscle repair. I need the muscle repair both horizontal and vertical. I would have to pay myself. I'm not sure it's worth the cost....

Thank you. I did go to the consultation just still a little concerned that I am only a year out from my gastric sleeve.

That's one of my concerns
I'm only a year out from surgery. I think I should wait at least another year but my gastric sleeve surgeon referred me because of the infections I've had under my belly.

I'm considering a tummy tuck with fleur de lis. Has anyone else had this surgery? If so, are you happy with the results? Would you say it's worth it? I am over 45 so not looking to do it for swim...

Welcome! I am new at this myself. I just had my surgery 3 weeks ago. I'm trying to educate myself as well. We can support each other along this journey.

Thank you for your response Christie. I'm learning so much everyday.

Does anyone else if it easier to drink broth than water or other liquids? I'm concerned about how quickly I can drink it. I can drink 8oz in about 15 min. 8 days post op.

Hello, I just had my gastric sleeve on 09/24. Three days out a little sore. Lots of gas pain. I looking over the board looking for tips during my post on journey.
