ShrinkyDinkMe101 reacted to joatsaint in Post Op Incisions
My 4 small incisions have faded to the point where I can pass them off as freckles. The big one, could be mistaken for a birthmark - it's about 1 1/2 across and fading slowly.
If I decide to wear a bikini, I think I could do a comb-over with some of my belly hair and hide it. ~:-)

Seven days ago, I was sleeved. I am feeling much better than I was five days ago. Every day gets better. I finally lost the 6lbs I gained during surgery from the IV and the gas. I am down 13.5 lbs.
I wrote a blog post to explain to my friends and followers why I chose this route.

ShrinkyDinkMe101 got a reaction from ChaoticBliss in Just getting started - Surgery in 3 weeks!
Long time lurker here! I had my first consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Yu, last Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for August 6th. I live in Oklahoma, but am traveling to Houston in order to have the single incision (belly button) surgery. I've started back on the Medifast foods I had left over from my last failed dieting attempt this spring and will do a two week liquid diet before surgery. Most of my family and friends are on board with my decision to have the gastric sleeve. My husband, a physician, is not happy about it. He thinks I should buckle down, eat paleo and do cross fit. He's also said that I will probably put the weight back on....grrrrr! I'm excited/nervous/scared about the changes this surgery will bring.
I enjoy playing tennis, antique/junk "treasure hunting" & traveling and am looking forward to living life without carrying around an extra person on my back!

Just left my one week follow up. I'm so glad to have that stupid drain tube out of me! I'm down 13 pounds since surgery on the 8th and 26 since the first visit with the surgeon. Things can only go up from here....well down I should say
