Some surgeons get rid of the flap before weight loss surgery. It makes the person more comfortable and mobile. I would get rid of the flap and save for a complete tummy tuck with muscle tightening after goal is reached. The belly button is discarded with the panniculectomy that the insurance company is paying for. That would happen even if you were at goal. To save the belly button and tighten the muscles, people pay extra for abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty is really only a good choice when you are at goal and do not ever intend to lose or gain more than 10 pounds.

They are cute, but not sure I like the writing on them. Thanks for the B.B.B. pointer, been looking for them!

I was approved today too! Best of luck on your journey [emoji4][emoji4]

If it's bothering you and possibly hindering further weight loss I would absolutely have it removed.

It takes most people about one year to lose the first 100 pounds and then about five pounds a month for another six months. Some people are much quicker and some are much slower. The important thing is to be sure you are weighing, measuring and tracking everything that you eat and drink.

My count down now begins 26 days

Sugar-free jello, chugging lots of water throughout the days, and adding protein powder to my soups.

How many grams of carbs are you eating a day? How many calories? How much sugar? How much protein? How mucha water? I had RNY 01/20 so im About 40 days in. And i feel good. But i Did get super diacouraged since at 3 weeks i Lost 28 pounds and o didn't lose anything week 4. I gained 3 lps week 5. And i started looking at mu carbs and eating 5 times a day and i started losing again om week 6. So check on that and let me Know if you want help. Good luck.

Lately I don't want protein drinks, eggs, yogurt...the only thing my stomach does well with is toast/ crackers but I know I'm not supposed to have too much of that. My fluids can be better. I try my best to drink water constantly but I often get dry mouth so I know it's not enough. As for BMs I'm either constipated or have the runs.

I really love Torrid's sports bras, but they're pretty dang expensive. I get a lot of my active wear at old navy, and Walmart. Danskin brand at Walmart is surprisingly good.
