My Plastic Surgery Thread
GreenTealael replied to sillykitty's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
No and I didn't even ask 😳 But my situation maybe a little different. I have progressive tension sutures and he definitely didn't want those to shift or rip -

Forced to do Bypass
GreenTealael replied to Christina.Rose's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Sorry for the rough news but honestly the greater fear may be Cancer... Returning GERD or the sudden onset of GERD is a known risk of VSG. This revision surgery is about preventing a malicious disease from developing and improving your quality of life. Good Luck 💚 -
My Plastic Surgery Thread
GreenTealael replied to sillykitty's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Same! the therapist even instructed me that they were not allowed to touch the abdomen directly because the surgeon did not want to shift those tissues around. -
You're healing from a traumatic event... *cough*

Did any of you keep your surgery a secret? I have! Please give input!
GreenTealael replied to Freedom&Bliss's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Sure, some of us keep our surgeries private but eventually speculation will catch up to you. You'll have to decide how to proceed from there. Congratulations & Good Luck 💚 -

Refrain from strenuous sex?
GreenTealael replied to brian10x's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
One time when someone asked the poet Sophocles: "How are you in regard to sex, Sophocles? Can you still make love to a woman?" Hush man, the poet replied, I am very glad to have escaped from this, like a slave who has escaped from a mad and cruel master" Plato, The Republic (329 c). -
VSG to RNY revision for GERD--Hunger question
GreenTealael replied to Foxbins's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I also read (somewhere,sorry i can't remember) that there are pyloric preservation style RNYs where the intestines are rerouted and connect just below the sphincter. Perhaps that's an option also, IDK -

I've been eating 1/4 - 1/3 of the Lavash bread instead of 1/2 (serving size) How much do you use? -
Are y'all like this?
GreenTealael replied to JRT Mom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Same. I didn't obsess much over food before WLS, but after surgery it became necessary to track everything so i felt i was focusing too much on food. I didn't care for the amount of effort that took so I resorted to eating variations of the same thing, often. I can estimate my intake this way and that makes it easier for me now. I can now focus on other things more 🌈 Hopefully down the line you will find a method that works for you. But do try to stay diligent and aware to keep the possibility of recidivism low. Good Luck 💚 -
My Plastic Surgery Thread
GreenTealael replied to sillykitty's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
When you have lipo you have to use compression garments to help bind the skin back to the muscle layer for tissue regeneration to happen quicker & to prevent the amount of scar tissue developing in the space created by Lipo plus compression aims to prevent excess swelling However there are a few schools of thought on this, some surgeons say no need to wear compression wear beyond the first few day, my surgeon said binder for 2 weeks then progress to the Faja until you feel its no longer necessary, I already see how swollen I get and how quickly I happens if I don't compress (sides not abdomen... That's going to do what it wants for a while I noticed) I just ordered something less tight than my current Faja (which the vendor did tell me was the second tightest one you could get- sounded like a good idea when I was higher than a kite 😂... But now FML) -
My Plastic Surgery Thread
GreenTealael replied to sillykitty's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
yes it may show up under softer/thinner, lighter colored fabrics But at this point I NEED it (I also have areas of lipo) so if its visible IDC or my results will just be terrible/mediocre... I can already tell I could get a slightly less structured Faja for downtime... I've been eyeing a few on Amazon
