Dear Jazy Young;

I went through the same, absolutely miserable, and, much much fatter. I had just a BELLY, now I look as if I will deliver a baby any minute. Constantly bloated, had over 10 tests, all negative. I take that rotten doctor to court because he blames me for his failure, because I wouldn’t exercise. I walk daily one hour, my entire life was exercising, but suddenly (after the death of my husband and later only daughter in Air Force), I kept gaining. But I am NOW bigger than before and feel all the tightness deep inside. I had a bad car accident, spine problems and cannot do all the things he had “TOLD” me to do. I have 4 strong attests, one even with “permanent damage” from the car accident. I hope that I will will. It is only a Small Claim Court, but he messed me terribly up. I have also no more a normal bowel, only water or nothing. My tummy feels like there are stones in; I never felt so bad in my life as after the tummy tuck. I KNOW, (he also said it) that he tight me up like a package. Can one reverse it? I cannot live like this, what can we do?

I had 2 C-Sections and the only weight I have is on my stomach. Looks like I am having tripplets. Nothing left and my daughter is 9-years-old. It is disgusting. I am thinking about having a tummy tuck as soon as I can find the right surgeon. Please advise.

Hi,
I am a male and had gastric bypass, lost half of my body weight (370 down to 185). Medicaid would have paid for just the skin removal, but I wanted the full tummy tuck. I wasn’t eating right because I still felt fat, even though the Dr’s were threatening to put me on ensure.
So I went through Vocational Rehabilitation, and they paid for the whole thing – didn’t cost me 1 cent. They are also buying me mederma and bio oil.

I must say that the results are nothing short of a miracle. I went from being embarrassed to take my shirt off in my own house to wanting to go to a nude beach (LOL). I am 6.5 weeks out. The scar across the front looks absolutely amazing, I mean I could be in playgirl. The sides are not as good, and there is still some swelling, but it is still absolutely amazing. The Dr. said if the dogears aren’t gone from the sides in 3 months she can fix them in her office. I am still having a little pain, but from the very beginning the percocet totally knocks it out in a matter of minutes.
I am sooooo pleased. I went from pitiful to playgirl, I went from gross to GQ. I still can not believe it is my body. I am so dang sexy now, it is just not right. Not to mention that she for free “tacked up” my pubic area and gave me a full inch while flacid. I went from poking out to hanging and swanging. If for no other reason, men get it done!!! All I need now is a sweet woman to enjoy my new sexy body with.

I had a tummy tuck in sept of this year, and I am not happy. If anything could of gone wrong it happened to me, I ended up in the hospital for 3 days and had to have a blood transfusion. I had dog tags and extra skin due to the swelling and cold I had caught right after i was released from the hospital. My doctor said he would fix it in his office and I would be able to return to work the followering day. Well I did it except it lasted 3 hours instead of the hour and half and I was out of work for the rest of the week. I lost a lot of blood again but not enough to end up back in the hospital. My lower tummy is looks still swollen and is hard, and I have burning pains that last 2 to 7 seconds all through out the day and where ever you touch my tummy it feels like a million needles stabbing me there. The whole time I was laying there on the table every once in a while I would FEEL a cut or the burning he was doing to get rid of that extra skin, of course he would stop and stick me again to deaden it but I was so tense waiting to feel that pain again. It has been two weeks since the (fixing) of that one and I am afraid it will stay this way. I am not happy one bit, but my appointment is in a couple of days and I will ask my doctor, if it will ever go away. I am stuck paying this bill off and being so unhappy. I am so scared I do not think I would put my self through this again to fix anything again, but I also do NOT want to go through life feeling this pain and looking this way. Does anyone know if the burning and needle feelings ever go away?

i had the same problem as you , and i am on public assistance . so my medical is covered through the state. if you say you get sores from the excess skin you can and should be able to get it completely covered by your insurance. i had it done in april of 2009 as did i have a breast reduction , but the minimum on the breast reduction is 300 grams a side. my insurance covered every penny and i am very happy with the results. if you have any questions please feel free to call me at 724-872-4562 and ask for mrs karloski.

Had a tummy tuck 3 months ago and i too was excited about my results at the beginning – but I am now very discouraged because I still can’t fit into my clothes. I am very exercise oriented and I know i have been overdoing it – It is frustrating that I am swollen larger than before the surgery. My doctor said I am working out tooo much…So what exactly am i suppose to do – do nothing and gain weight…frustrated and right now wish zi had not had the surgery.
