Wolfgirl78 got a reaction from MsFACSTeach in Airport security issues ? April 18, 2018

Both my pat downers were females at two different airports, Lafayette, Louisiana and Milwaukee, WI. They were both very professional. I got to see the results from the scanner and the area of concern, which was my pelvic area.
I have not flown since 1998 and all this TSA stuff is new to me. I had to practically study to learn what I could and could not take. Lol
All that being said I'm in law enforcement and know how to do a proper, professional pat down. If something has happened to me like in the stories you linked I would've definitely not been shy about reporting it.
I'm really having doubts as to if it is the staples, as my stomach and staples shouldn't be that far down! Lol.
I may not have an apron and use baby powder but I do have some lose skin in that area that I'm wanting to get plastic surgery on.

I never made it to my original goal either. Like I stated earlier I'm now 6lbs away from my lowest weight and 9 until goal weight, so I have 15lbs left to go. However, my overall weight I wanted to lose is 44lbs. I've lost 29 since April. It just took some discipline to get back into the habits I made that first year post op. I'm finding its like riding a bike though, and now that im back into the swing of things, it's become habit to weigh, measure and log my food.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide!

I'm 4 years post op. Sleeve
I've never heard of an overstitch. Can you tell me more about it? I'm curious.
I also had some regain issues. In the last two month I buckled down and am only 6lbs away from my lowest weight now.
Once I started making sure to eat Protein dense meals again I found that my restriction is still great, considering I'm four years out. I can still only eat 3-4oz of Protein at a time. I had also got out of the habit of logging my food, weighing it, etc. I'm back to doing all that and the weight is coming off steadily.
Is your restriction not as good anymore? To me, it just seems kind of drastic of have another surgery for a 15-20lb regain (that's just my opinion).
And congratulations on your success! You've done well! My inbox is always open if you want to talk.

Oh my goodness it's been awhile since I've been here! I only see a few names I recognize!
I had my sleeve on 06/12/12. I lost 102 lbs.
unfortunately I have gained 35lbs within the last two years. About a month ago, I started weighing and logging my food on mfp again. I started gaining when I stopped logging my food and making myself accountable. Since I started logging again I've lost 14lbs. So now I'm 21lbs away from my lowest weight and 27 away from my original goal weight. I'm going to do this. The good thing about my sleeve is even though I fell off the wagon, it's still here to help me.

I'm 4 years post op. I had regained 35 lbs. Back in April I decided to get it off and I have. I'm at the lowest weight I've been at since my surgery. I'm going to try to lose about 10 more lbs. otherwise I'm happy where I am now.
