I don't think a corset will take away the loose skin, but it sure would make your midsection look better.

I had one stitch that stuck out of one of my incisions, it eventually dissolved and went back into the incision. I did not try to pull it out or cut it. The same thing happened when had knee surgery.

I eat 5-6 mini meals per day per my surgeon's recommendation, so each meal is essential a snack. I just make sure that each meal is Protein first, vegetable second, and a carb if I have room. I keep the calories of each meal at 200-250. My surgeon calls this "punctuated grazing".There are times that I will eat something in between, it is usually a piece of reduced fat cheese or some peanuts.

What kind of diet are you on?
Racewalker48 replied to meyouus's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not on any particular diet, just a Protein first, vegetable and small amount of carbs with each meal. I eat 5-6 times per day. I drink at least 64oz of Water per day. My surgeon kept it very simple, and I like that. I have a 80 -100 gram per day protein goal. That's it. Following this plan, I eat around 1000-1200 cals per day by my calculations. -
Help! Developed peripheral neuro palsy !
Racewalker48 replied to BypassKrista's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Let's hope you can get some answers finally..... -
I did not have a goal size, just a goal weight, which I have reached, but more importantly, a goal level of health. I wanted to get off my blood pressure meds (done), see improvements in my sleep apnea and overall sleep quality (done), and reduce my risk of developing diabetes (glucose is normal). Over the last 9 months, I have gone from a size 20 to a size 4-6 at 5'8". I figured that was a small bonus, since I am healthier than I have been for a very long time.

Racewalker48 replied to BypassKrista's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Have you seen a specialist like a neurologist for further evaluation? If not, I would recommend it since you are not getting any answers from your PCP and surgeon. -

I brought my phone, charger, change of underwear and lip balm. The hospital gave me a toiletry kit. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital the morning before.

Having Upper GI EDG Scope, anybody had one?
Racewalker48 replied to Beanthere's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had one pre op. I was sedated with propofol, and the procedure was done in about 30 minutes. The only thing I remember was opening my mouth so they could insert a mouth guard. They took biopsies of gastric polyps, and that was pretty much it. -

So, that means you have lost an average of 5.25 lbs per week. I think that's pretty good.

Post Bariatric Surgery 15 yrs out. Need to know if safe to take a belly fat reducer product
Racewalker48 replied to sherwill67's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am not convinced that these belly fat supplements actually work. -
what did you guys drink on your preop diet? how did you feel? how did you feel the moment before you went into surgery when they put the gas mask?
Racewalker48 replied to Bronxmerci's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a 2 week Optifast diet pre op. I was hungry on it, but muddled through. I was rather calm before surgery and was given Versed before they wheeled me into the OR suite, so I don't remember getting the gas, since the Versed tends to cause you to forget everything that happens after they give you the shot. The last thought I remember was hoping that I would eventually wake up.
