The pictures on top were taken today at 193 lbs, I'm 5'9, so it may still seem high but I'm thrilled. Once I get to 175, I'm officially at my goal. I'm sure I have at least 10 lbs of excess skin thatll eventually be removed...but no rush. The pics below were 2 months preop (so around August 2018 and I weighed somewhere near 300lbs).
In 6 months , I'm down over 100lbs and feeling fabulous. Struggling with the excess skin on my belly and inner thighs. Any Spanx or waist trainer recommendations to conceal the pooch Lol!
Hope everyone is happy and would love to see updates on my fellow October sleevers and how everyone is doing in general! Xoxo!

yashica37 reacted to James Marusek in Gastric bypass
Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery). This is how my surgery was done, I had 7 incision points. The one area where they did the most work produced a large knot. It took around 6 months for that knot to go away.
In general most of the healing takes place in the first few weeks, but it does take awhile for it all to go away completely.
Since you had 3 surgeries at once, you will have a longer recovery time. Over my lifetime I have had 2 hernia operations. One was done where they opened me up and the other was done laparoscopically. That made quite a difference in recovery times. I think when they opened me up, for around the first month, I could hardly even get up without help. In the laparoscopic operation, I was up and about in a weeks time.

I only had the gastric bypass without the other operations. In my case it took 6 months to fully recover. But each day it got a little better.
