  6. I'm disappointed that there is only one response here. I have a band (slipped), and would love to know whether the sleeve or bypass would be better or has worked better and why. Once you leave the land of the Banded, you really only have a few choices. And they're not reversible, anymore input would be awesome ???? I was a successful bander until it eroded .. Last year I revised to bypass . Sleeve wasn't even an option for me. Reason being I wasn't going to have "another wls surgery again" I wanted this to be the last one and my doctor said the sleeve is sometimes the first step to bypass.. I wanted the gold standard.. It's so much easier than the band was and I am wayyy healthier now than I was then. I can eat chicken and veggies no problem!!!!!
  7. What was your start weight and what are you at now? How long did it take you? Did you have to exercise a lot. Sorry for all the questions. I am 1 month pre op and asking away I had to gain weight for my revision.. So I was 245 day of revision. I got down to 156. I now fluctuate because I love White Russians lol I never exercised. Took 9-10 months.
  8. Now for the ugly part.. The scars.. They will fade but here they are have them on both sides these pictures are from day 7. Right after stitches were removed..I did have both my tragus removed. Also my neck is swollen weirdly to the band I wear around my head..
  9. . Total cost for face lift and FF laser was $14,500.. I think just the laser was $4,000 but I'm not sure.. 0 level of pain. I honestly never had pain at all. I took Vicodin first 3 days religiously but never felt any pain. I'm a huge baby so that's big lol I feel great!!!!!!! 9 days out
  10. I got my stitches out today!!! Woohoo! So happy. Love my results. Doc said I did wonderful and I still have a lot of swelling.. Looking forward to the normal pics. Here is today!
  11. I love mine! I have DDD though lol my hubby asked the doc what size he suggested and my doc said I have never had any one say they wish they went smaller.. Everyone said they wished they went bigger.. Hubby said put the biggest you have in stock in lol.. I love them love not having to wear a bra.. Love they don't sag.. They are awesome. thanks!
  12. My rny and facelift were both a breeze. I had my tummy tuck and boobs done at the same time and it was ROUGH! But well worth it now.
  13. Day 6 before and after!!! So thrilled! Get my stitches out tomorrow!
  14. I love the way my neck is now!!!! Once I am healed I will post a before and after
  15. Surgery went great. I feel awesome but look horrible lol
  16. I currently weight 162 and I am 5'8" I wear a size 6-8. I feel this is the perfect weight for me.
