Heres my after pic.

I was told about the same thing about the indent above the belly button. He said you can see it cause of the strechyness my skin already has. And that is also where the 2 muscles were tied together. So i proceeded to ask if i was to work at it will i get a 6 pack. He said yes!! But not now. Even though i feel perfect im not. So to wait another 2 month. He said i could ho to the gym but only cardio and not to over do it. He did give me this medication cream thats a compound a pharmacist made up and is supose to work worders with scars. Ive been using it for about 2 weeks now and it look pretty good. I dont wanna get ahead of myself so i wanna wait for the full month to see an actual result.
Its nice to hear your doing better and hope everything turns out good for you.

Its crazy hu.. i thought ok maybe 5 lbs. But when i woke up and the doc said 10 and showed me pics. I went to shock.. im down 14 total. Since then

I believe the proper term is. belt lipectomy. Its like a Tummy Tuck but all around the body with muscle repairs. I only had that done dr didnt want to put me under to long. This took 4 hrs. And they removed 10 lbs of skin.

Im almost 3 weeks out. Of a body lift and i dont feel numbness at all anywhere... is that normal?? My abdomen does feel kinda streches but i feel everything..

Im 7 days post op of a body lift and i cant wait to see what ill look like in a year. Even though im only 7 days i love my dr work almost no swelling the insicion line looks tiny. I love it.

Yes im 2 years 3 mths out.
Sw 257, cw160.. lowest weight was 145 but i looked sick. So i gained some back and ive been at this weight for about 8 mths.

Thank you so much. This binder they gave me is driving me nuts. And its so uncomfortable.

Well i made it.. they removed 9.5 lbs of skin... i thought maybe 5lbs.. now im just in bed. Doc said alot of bedrest. The pain isnt to bad. Its the muscles that are painfull. Nausea meds make me feel worse so i quit taking them i feel much better. Pain kills knock me out so im sleeping most of the day. I have no hunger but doc said i have to eat to heal faster. So here i am taking it slow... really slow.. also doc said to lay as flat as possible. And no to relay to much on the recliner so my stiches wont open.. anything else that might make this go smooth??

Jesus is grand... lol i got it before surgery... i think its a good sign. Everything will be ok.

Even though u cannt see it in the pics i have alot of really loose. I think it so loose it tucks in very well with shape wear.

Are you eating enough calories for 120 minutes of exercise per day? I would check with my NUT if I were you. And I bet if you cut your exercise in half, you will start to lose again.

Exactly. I had a friend that had the gastric bypass and have a friend that had the sleeve done and both felt that way even after loosing all of the weight they wanted to lose. My friend that had the sleeve said she just got over feeling that way recently.

You look awesome!

Ok I'm 5 1/2 mth out s down 89 lbs. I think I have been doing great. I eat right stay away from carbs no straws no carbonated drinks no bubbles either. Protien and Water are my priority. I've gone down drom a size 20 pant to a 10, and a xl shirt to an M . Sso here comes my question.
Why do I feel fat??
Lately my weightloss has been a bit slower. And I see my self and I feel fat. I feel like I need to loose a bit more. Everyone says I should stop that I look great already. But I don't feel like that.
My stats
Sw:257
Cw:168

You do look great but you have to feel comfortable about you.

You look amazing girl, I din't think you need more ... but maybe few kgs in your mind to be more comfortable

I think you should keep on going until you get to goal!
Oh why do you feel fat??? Sorry didn't see that.
How much do you have to lose still?

I think you look fantastic girl! Keep going until you feel comfortable; what everyone else thinks does not matter.

I'm not sure we ever "stop". This is a lifestyle change .. a journey. I am not too surprised that you are not satisfied yet, after all it has only been 5-1/2 months. Try not to worry about what others say. You look great, but only you know how you feel.
If you want to try adding some calories, it is up to you, just keep an eye on your weight and if you start gaining, then regroup.
