I am having such issues with skin. Everything is sagging. Maybe it's age, but still frustrating, and I haven't lost as much as you. (270 at my highest, now right around 160). Not quite a year yet.

Just a reality check for me - down 105 lbs- maintained til a month ago and gained 4 lbs- yikes!!! Have gone back to basics and plan to lose the 4 plus 6 more- I need to be diligent always and accountable I'm back!!

That's what I use as well

So awesome congratulations [emoji322][emoji898][emoji324][emoji323]

"You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit"

A year ago, I started this process. I had surgery on 8/31.
The day I started at 258 pounds, on the day of surgery I weighed in at 241. I was wearing a size 20/22.
Today, I am wearing a size 12, and down to 165. Still have about 30 more pounds to go, but so very happy with my decision and would do it again.

Today is my 100th day post-op. The surgery was on January 5th.

I don't post much, but from what I've seen and read it appears this group is doing amazingly well. The pictures that many of you have published documenting your transformation are truly inspiring.

At my last weigh in on December 21, 2016 at the doctor's office, I topped the scale at 326. A week later I began the one-week pre-op diet at 322. On the day of surgery I checked in at 309.

100 days later and fresh off a doctor visit yesterday, I am checking in at 247 pounds. There is still a long ways to go, but this is a 79 pound reduction since the first day of winter. Couple that with the elimination of all Type II diabetes medications and the vital signs returning to normal levels, you can't beat.


it.

I feel great. It has been a very hard and long road but I'm finally over half way to my goal. I have no more diabetes and no more sleep apnea so I feel so much more healthy.
In the beginning I was very doubtful and quite depressed but it was all worth it.
I've never been happier [emoji2]

@@Jentastic19 Only about a week to 10 days, they were so minor that I don't really recall. I had one incision (where they pulled my stomach out) that was sorer and still has a lump from the suture under it, but nothing really painful. I'm sorry this is all happening to you

I have and I had to really work that muscle their probably tight and need to be worked mine was bad I had to take pain meds and walk around do certain movement while it wasn't hurting at the time. And I'm feeling better now. But again if it's reallly concerning it doesn't hurt to call them

Since you've already had a complicated post-op course, I wouldn't sit on this...call your surgeon/team and get seen ASAP.
I had only tiny tugging pains directly under my incisions, so anything more would be very alarming.

I was sleeved on 8/31 and have not had the greatest adventure. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days after surgery due to some bleeding and oxygen issues. Been home a little over a week and these past couple days I have been experiencing a debilitating pain on my left side.
It is between incisions, so it's not an infection. My incisions all look great. It is inside and feels like my muscles are being ripped apart.
Has anyone else had this experience? If yes, how long did it last?
