Yikes. That sounds very stressful. Have you asked your PS why you have received differing opinions? Maybe if you were to voice your concerns and hesitations they could ease your fears. I hope you can get peace of mind.

If I have surgery it won't be for awhile. I'm not even 6 months out from my sleeve date. But I'm a perfectionist and over thinker so I've been contemplating the future. Going out of the US for surgery terrifies me. But I live in the most expensive city and a partial lower body lift would be $25k lol

I wish you peace and healthy healing. Please keep us all posted.

The incision next to my belly button was problematic for me. It was site and had a bump. Oddly two months out a portion of the sutures poked out. I removed it. It finally healed a few weeks later. All sutures were supposed to be dissolvable. I'm sure it's nothing but good thing you have an appointment so you can ask

Yay. That must have felt good.

All the best with your surgery. Are you having it done in the states?

Well ok lol I'm now educated. Thank you!

It took my body almost 2 weeks to get back on track. Now I only void every other day. That's my new normal

The scars I saw looked like augmentation from decades ago when women had silicone implants. Very long scars vertically along the aureolas. As well as underneath the breasts. I thought most scarring was now under the arm pits. Granted I won't need augmentation rather a lift. Just gave me pause. Thanks for the input

I looked at some patient pictures posted. The surgeon was mentioned here. Located in Mexico. I was taken aback because of the obvious scars on the surface of the breasts as well as underneath from augmentation. That is a red flag for me. I wouldn't expect that type of scaring now. Maybe 20 years ago

I'm ready..........where it seems doing multiple areas on the body for lifts tightening displacement of fat to other areas is done on the same day!! Do you think that full shebang would be done in the states? Is it mandatory you bring someone with you or can you go solo. Is this all cash or does insurance play a part if they would pay a portion. How did you find your Dr? Word of mouth? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks

I'm in SF

My surgery cost $89,000.00. I almost fell over when I saw that on my EOB. Two day hospital stay and a hernia repair. Granted I live in the most expensive city in the states. But that price was unbelievable. Thankfully the sleeve was covered under my policy.Gl

I switched to Decaf but I no longer like the taste of coffee :[

I was sooooooo disappointed. I loved my morning ritual of having a cup

I didn't have a drain either. Thankfully

costco sells premiere Protein Shakes in 3 flavors for $24.99 and often has a coupon that can be used to bring it below $20

I take max vit-acell antioxidant concentrated liquid nutrition from max muscle.

Which tests? Ekg? That was actually nominal. He might be OK doing the surgery with you having a cold. Just try and get plenty of rest and lots of fluids. Keep us posted.

I do workouts at home. Either from ondemand or dvd's I have. I do cardio and weight workouts. I hate gyms :]

The biggest concern with getting sick before surgery is your compromised immune system and a higher risk of infection especially if you have a fever. While your surgery may not be cancelled, it’s always best to tell your surgeon so they can make the call.

Thank you. We all need a reminder

I fluctuate then stall then lose 7bs. In a week. It keeps things interesting. I'm almost 5 months out.

You don't see them on the app, just in the full site.

I wonder why they changed it. That's disappointing. I only use my devices rarely my computer. Thank you

So now the tickers no longer exist? There is no way to track our weight loss. At least that is the way it currently is on my iPhone and iPad. That's disappointing.

Lol I'm almost 5 months out and I can't finish a Protein Drink

I can tolerate scallops and fresh prawns. The odd thing is I hadn't had meat in 8 years but I've reintroduced it since my sleeve. I've had no problems with pork, lamb or steak. Granted I'm not consuming a lot and I make sure to get the leanest cuts. It's kind of nice to feel like I'm splurging when in reality I'm not.

What was his reasoning for not using straws? I use straws every day
