  1. I saw several PS before choosing I went with a person with WLS patients as I had multiple procedures. Best in your journey
  2. I had a breast lift without implants. No way I was signing up for 5-8 year maintenance. Before PS 30 F mostly skin to 30 C. My PS pulled some filler as I had a LBL at same time. Love the natural results. For me this is perfect.
  3. Healing in time for summer. Glad things are better.
  4. I love it. You have the airstream to travel this journey of life with Plus your spouse. Safe travels
  5. I get the melting thighs! Swim shorts. I had to define what was perfect for me A woman in my 40s. Plastics was a step in the healing process just as the weight-loss was a step. Some of it was letting go and allowing myself to understand with all my scars emotional and physical that I can still be the perfect image of who I am. The researcher and he wonders what the rates of body dysmorphia are in the LWS population
  6. Wow you are super super active I was really down and out for two weeks Glad you are recognizing the difference between hungry and wanting food it's a fine line ?
  7. I lost and did not think would be a problem. I lost 100 lbs. I have skin issues. The trade-off is I feel great can do anything and do not have helth complications. It is well worth the trade off for me. I have gone the PS route.
  8. Healing will happen Complications are a set back. It took me 15 days after sleeve to resume daily life I read about others who were doing laundry next day. LOL. You get one chance to heal - It will happen. Best to you
  9. Tracking food is important to me.
  10. At almost 2 years I am often a soup person. The size is good and it does not bother me!
  11. Is it that you cannot recommend her enough perhaps? I can tell you I absolutely love myTT. Honestly I ended up with a crush on my PS
  12. Is the recovery still intense?
  13. Cool There so many options. A fit for everyone!
  14. Healing is such an emotional - mind body process. Sounds like both are centered in your path
  15. Sorry it ended Even when best it is still a loss. I am glad your perspective is future forward and you have a sense of control. I look at the title of this thred and it says dealing with others issues. I like The fact that you kept it others in Issues
  16. We change My spouse did not get it. He ended up healthier and became a great support. It took time and more time.
  17. Glad you have a plan. Wound healing is scary. Did the muscle split or the skin? Take care
  18. Glad for you! Congratulations
  19. Research shows those that have PS keep weight off longer I went against advice and weighed most days. I upped protein to at least 100 g. I cut all carbs and kept juice pops and chocolate. I did lose muscle. My operation lasted 11.5 hours and recovery was hard and long - I hurt and did not feel hungry. I knew the risk but also benefits. Plus I dropped 24 k on plastics -
  20. I was worried as well I did not exercise for 2 1/2 months stayed with the 4 pounds of my weight pre op. Now that i am cleared to exercise I need to put a little weight back. I think we worked so hard to get where we are The chance of me going back does not exist. I eat chocolate too. It just has to be really really really good chocolate ☺️
  21. Fabulous! How long did you recover in DR before proceeding home?
  22. My insurance did not cover it. N chance It is expensive. An extended TT is a little less
  23. Maybe we're not supposed to love food. I sort of decided of food doesn't have to be good I like being fit and active a whole lot more
  24. Happy news. Terrific! Are you comfortable with PS? Did you receive date? I went from skin filling my cups to my remade size full B to C. Great feeling -
