    Question Anyone have a tummy tuck PRIOR TO their gastric sleeve?

    I had a tummy tuck approx. 11 years ago after losing about 25 lbs as I had stretched out skin from 3 pregnancies and C-sections that would not tighten up. I have over the years slowly gained those 25 lbs back, as well as about 25 more after my partial hysterectomy. I was just wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck before and if so, did you have a lot of excess abdominal skin after your weight loss after being sleeved? I don't want to go through another TT. I'm already scared my thighs will look like a hot mess as I do have a good bit of stretch marks on the back and inner thigh areas. Thank you for your time. Just scared at this point but so looking forward to feeling good again.

    A lady in my support group had a tummy tuck before regaining and having surgery, and she looked great after reaching goal weight. No worries!

    A tummy tuck is such a risky surgery!! after the disaster I had last Summer with the arm lift, a tummy tuck is out of question. I will keep my extra skin. Doesn't show under my suits...and since I'm not living in a tropical country right now, who cares my kangaroo pouch is visible with a bathing suit...not me!

    Plus I still need to have my scar repaired -it is so bad-, I still need to get my "dog ears removed"....at some point.....when my health is better...may be in an other life...argh...

    I had a mini tuck to correct a deformed belly from my C-sections. It did not cause any issues with my sleeve.
