Post-op VSG - How do you feel about your body?



Recommended Posts

To the people who are 6 months+ post op and have lost a large amount of weight (with no plastics)... how do you feel about your body now? Do you love it? Are you still critical of it? Does the excess skin bother you? Do you feel more or less confident when you're naked?

I love how I look. Seriously.

I'm not a hard body or a perfect body. But then I'm 69 years old.

Bottom line is I look SO MUCH BETTER THAN I DID 80 POUNDS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be 6 months post op on April 27th. I am down 86lbs from 314. Right now I am not to mad at my body. lol For the amount that I have lost so far, so far I am happy with how things look. I am noticing that areas are getting a little saggier, that my boobs really only look good in a bra (but I have known that since I had my kid 16 yrs ago)

I am trying to look at the positives so far and not focus on the extra skin on my arms, knees, thighs and belly. I knew going into this it would happen. Now once I lose another 50+ pounds we will see how I feel.

I'm 8 months post op and down 91#. I'm still getting used to my new self, bat wing arms, deflated upper thighs and all. Even with the mildly saggy skin, I feel amazing and have been told that I look like a whole different, younger person. I'm not done losing yet, and am excited and happy as I look forward to my healthier future.

This is the best thing that I've ever done for myself.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
