    9 Months Past Panniculectomy

    Is the pain around the incision or somewhere else?

    Post Op - 5 Weeks - Suddenly full ALL the TIME

    Time may help resolve some of this. It may be added inflammation from surgery that hasn't gone away yet. The protein goal is something that can be worked up to, the hydration is usually more important to Doctors at this stage (but totally check with your Team) You're doing great!

    What a pretty classic relaxed look ♥️ Your jeans have the look of extreme softness because of the well placed fading

    Allergy meds Post Op?

    Congratulations so far! Check with your instructions/Surgeon first of course, but *almost* all over-the-counter allergy medicines comes in a children's liquid form. The directions also indicate how to use by age or weight. Good Luck ♥️

    Revision completed

    Any change in bowel movements? Old back injuries? If it was bad enough to go to 3 Hospitals, please tell your Surgeon just in case Get Well Soon ♥️

    Stalled weight

    Try to include some form of meditation as well. Stress can cause physiological changes that can cause weight gain just like a caloric surplus.
  14. Did you receive IV fluids in the hospital? That's usually the culprit for post hospital visit weight changes & stalls Otherwise the common stall that everyone mentioned may have started Good Luck ♥️

    Food Before and After Photos

    Dinner last night : Greek salad and novelty sized mushroom ricotta bake 🤣 (I barely ate any because I began fasting again (in anticipation of Yom Kippur) and I'm not as hungry and can handle less)

    change surgery date

    My advice is to figure out which parts scare you and if they can be worked on but only do what you are comfortable with ♥️

    Authorized but no response from doc

    Please try to be a *little* patient with Docs and staff right now, so much backlog is slowing processes down. Especially since you were originally denied, the really might have just put your file to the side and moved on to more straight forward cases. But do stay in constant communication with them now so they know you're serious. BTW, You must have super patience already since you waited 7 weeks to contact them. I would have contacted them the same day my decision was overturned, picked my surgery date and started my pre-op diet 😆

    WLS prep

    I don't think you'll need a shower seat but that's up to you but, definitely a (wedge or other style) pillow for comfort I would recommend : Measuring tape to keep track of losses that the scale may not reflect Water bottle with liquid measurements to track intake Silk/Satin pillow case to minimize possible hair issues Pill organizer Good Luck ♥️
  25. Good points and considerations that helped me to move forward with conversion to RNY rather than play Russian Roulette with a preventable cancer
