Obviously California is crawling with plastic surgeons lol but I want a plastic surgeon who specializes in bariatric plastic surgery and plus, who is affordable.

I have lost 130lbs. I started as a 42C and am now in a 34 DD

I AM HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 6 1/2 weeks post op and have been hungry since day 2, and having cravings. I totally expected not to be hungry and certainly not have cravings but they are real.. some people say it is acid or I am thirsty, but I do not think so. So i guess there are some of us who are hungry and some of us who are not. Good luck, just try to eat right, I do not eat anything off the list I have from my surgeon and right now I stick between 700-800 calories and always Protein first.

My stats are up to date. I am having my second f/u visit next Tuesday and was hoping to be down to 199.9 but I don't think that will happen. I am walking at work on one of my breaks. My energy levels are up, the hair is on the floor (everywhere) and I feel like I weigh ALOT less than the scale reads
Got family drama right now and trying to stay focused and come here on break and after work to check in~

Hey there - went to doc on the 26th - exactly 3 months after my surgery and was down 75 pounds. So grateful. Some days are easier than others, but all in all it has been a pretty good ride.
Glad you are doing so well! Keep it up!!!

I just had my three month on friday. Was sleeved on May 26th! I am down almost 40lbs. Not as big of weight loss as some but still happy with it and so was the surgeon so I can't complain. Feeling good, having struggles some days to stay on the right path though!

Hi I had my sleeve done 6-3 and I have only lost 47 lb. I haven't lost any in almost 3 weeks :/

read what I wrote on the botton..my doc said I can drink after a month..realistically were young n are gonna drink so everyone jumping down ur throat is bs.. ur not a monster for asking it's a valid question

I have an opposite problem. I love looking at the new me! I take way longer to get dressed. I love comparing old pics to current me and get super excited thinking about how much thinner I will be next month and the month after that. I am nervous that I will forget my age and buy something to tight, too revealing or too young. My friends have been sworn to save me from myself!

I personally think the c-section pain is worse! Not that I didn't experience ANY pain with my VSG, but it was less. Though I slept on my back and was not able to sleep on my side till 4 days post op and on my tummy about 8 days post op.

I am having 3 weeks off and longer if I need it. I have a stressful job and won't go back until I know I can handle the level of work I am used to... so thinking about it, maybe 2019 lol.
Keep smiling

I have lost 27 pounds..... 12 pounds on the pre-op diet and 15 pounds since my surgery on 6-15.

Ask a question, get a lecture.
I lost 25 pounds. Good luck.

Hi! I'm scheduled to get my surgery the second week of June. There's just one problem. My cousin is coming to stay at my house to Celebrate her birthday for two weeks, starting the day of my surgery. She doesn't know I am getting the surgery that week though.
Do you all think I'll be able to Celebrate with her? I know I won't be eating solids, but I'm wondering do you all think I will be able to move around and feel comfortable? I don't want her to have a terrible birthday because of me.
