Are you talking about the infamous belt (As my doctor refers to it)?

Lol yess.i hate it

Aww congrats children are blessings.i got my pair,boy and a girl so no more for me lol.

Are you maybe gaining muscle?sometimes when u workout u will gain musclw meaning the scale doesnt move

I wear'Spanx' almost everyday. I LOVE my weight/inches lost' date=' but the lower stomach sag is gross. Soooo...the proper undergarments are key to looking smooth and put-togther.[/quote']

Yess ugh lower stomach part i hear never goes away.i hate mine :-\

I've always worn spanx' date=' even when I was a size 2 previously I wore some sort of Spanx like product. I don't exactly hit the gym daily and I like to rein in the jiggle factor as much as reasonable.

Typically I wear the high waist tights under cloths. Funny thing though....my danged spanx are getting too big LOL You KNOW you've lost weight when your spanx start slipping down on ya heh heh

Haha mine got loose too.i washed and dried it.no help.so i ended up going to buy a smaller one lol

Have any of you used it works global wraps? I'm not trying to sell them or anything. I have a friend who did sleeve over a year ago. Her and hubby had their surgeries a few weeks apart and have used the wraps since a week post op. They both swear by them. They have no sagging skin. She's showed me and I was thinking of trying one but need my area where drain was to heal more.

Someone does sell a type if wrap here where i live but i havent tried them yet. I was trying to find someone who has had success with them but yet to find someone. Here its like 40 bucks a wrap. Maybe ill look into those .thank ya!

I started pouring my bottle into a plastic cup.it went alot easier

I can eat anything just in small amounts..i did notice when i hit my 6 months post op i was able to eat a little more..buttttt it is no where near what i used to eat :-)

Im about 7 months post op now.

Go to Mexico and have your tummy and boos done for 6k.

Wow that is cheap!do you know any good drs up there that do that?

I am just getting ready to have my sleeve on March 4th' date=' but this caught my eye because I wear Spanx everyday now, and see it probably won't be much different after ....LOL![/quote']

Dr brian mcdaniel here in victoria texas is the bestttt!!!!!!his practice is called better life bariatrics 361-574-1888..we are only 100 miles away from houston too :-)

Immediately after surgery' date=' I felt great! Never used the pain meds that were sent home with me! About 2 weeks after surgery I began having extreme pain in my lower left abdomen. My surgeon hospitalized me at my follow up visit to do a Catscan. They say the Catscan was normal and I, "probably pulled a muscle." I'm now 4 weeks out from surgery and am still in severe pain. It's not a constant pain, but the action of standing, sitting, laying down, sitting up, bending over (I try not to do this at all because its the worst), even squating (TMI warning) to use the potty is super painful. Has anyone else had this experience? If so, how long did the pain last?[/quote']

Omg i been there...it was lk two weeks after surgery too!!!bless ur heart its very painful and tender..i had it for about 4 weeks.it was the same i had sorta pulled a muscle type thingy cause i was using my my muscles to get up.the dr finally gave me some liquid lortab about 3 weeks out.i took it straight for two weeks and it slowly but surely went away..i could even wear jeans or anything it was so sore and tender

U loook amazing may i just ask how tall you are?

Im between 5'2 & 5'3 :-)
