Holy crap!!!! True inspiration u look AMAZING!!!!!!

1 year and 123 lbs lost... Current pic is from 2 months ago lol best decision EVER!!!

Kinda!!! Lol thanks for asking! Still hurts if I move wrong/ bend wrong! But def getting better!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Other than this darn thing recovery has been great!!!! I've been massaging since about 1 week out! U feel those hard little bumps under incision ?? That's the tissue healing... Forming scar tissue!! The massaging will help the formation if scar tissue!! I kinda donut all day long but especially at night n in morning while I am laying in bed!! Do circles, left to right, up n down! Use some pressure but obviously not too much that u are in pain! I try to massage whole stomach getting deep to muscle! Once my incisions are completely closed ( no more scabs)I will pop a Vitamin e capsule n massage with that!! U can use any lotion( vitamin e n coco butter are really good) but not untill a few weeks out!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

So I just saw dr! She said it was an internal stitch that it could take up to a month to completely dissolve! I'm 3 weeks out and she said to keep massaging it!!! I have not tried the spanks yet but may when I return to work on Monday!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

It's eased up a bit but I see dr tomorrow!!! I'm thinking its totally muscular / or an inside stitch! I complained 1 week out and she said I was just healing! Will let u know for sure tomorrow!!!! Hope yours gets better as well!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

May have to try that! I don't have anything left to jiggle lol I go back to work next week and worry about having to bend and maneuver in awkward positions! Maybe one of those belts or spans will help! I work in an operating room in a major trauma center!! All of my co workers know about the surgery cause I'm gonna need help ( lifting etc) hmmmm hopefully I don't have to perform CPR any time soon!!!

Not my gallbladder and not when I breath in! It's site specific! When I saw my surgeon 1 wk post op she said I was healing! I called and they said she would check it out thurs! I'm def not doubled over in pain although moving wrong way it is sharp/stabbing/burning! Probably an internal stitch! Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issue!

Ok so I'm 2.5 weeks out and other than this speed bump I feel great!!! One of my incision sites... On right side ( not where they removed stomach) is killing me!!! Getting up from bed/chair sends a shooting pain! It's not really superficial it's def more deep! Also happens if I move certain ways! Hard to shave legs or bend down period! As I sit here on couch writing this its just a constant burning pain! Incisions all look great especially this one! Not infected or hot! Anyone else experience this??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Had my stress Test.... Nuclear though.... Had a sprained mcl at the time do no treadmill for me! When the doc injected the radio isotope I immediately felt a rush ... Got very dizzy and massive headache!!! I was watching the monitors and my heart was not racing but I felt it more in my head!! He then gave me the antedote and told me it was a common reaction!!! It just felt weird... Like borderline passing out weird!!!! That's y the Dr is in the room when they inject the isotope!!!!! They kept asking how I felt and immediately I told them and the antedote worked IMEDIATELY and I was back to normal!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST
