    My Plastic Surgery Thread

    Awwwwww man, that's a bummer. I had noticeable results after mine and now that I'm home I can't seem to find anyone who does it in my area ... so I'm sad Ok try putting on compression gear immediately after the massage to see if that helps too. I was rewrapped in my binder immediately post massage. Everything was about softening the skin, moving the fluid, then compressing the F out of the area. I'm noticing now that I swell around the areas that are not compressed (like wearing a binder or corset) so I'm trying to keep my results uniform by wearing the Faja during the day and seamless shapewear to bed ... I need this South Beach body to show up 😂😭

    A really good stylist maybe able to retain your length with some strategically placed layers 💚

    Which type of compression are you getting? I have the M&D Colombiana style Faja and Childdddddddd it's tight. I'm JUST starting to wear it more often but good gravy I have shallow breaths while wearing it

  6. You have a few options as a revision but only a surgeon can direct you after testing A reminder: This will be your 3rd WLS, if given the choice IMHO i would choose the most permanent one (DS/SIPS)
  7. Can you please rewrite the response ? I can't quite understand what was written.
  8. I never lost hunger after VSG so I can not answer that question but here's what i know: You will lose your pyloric sphincter with the conversion (which may result in accidentally giving you ability to have great volume because the filled signal may disappear so that's a consideration) You can maintain your weight after conversion if you are diligent and careful You may experience new bathroom habits You may develop vitamin deficiencies if you are not diligent and careful Ask the surgeon if the first surgery is performed (it sounds like Cardiopexy with Ligamentum Teres) and does not work, can RNY conversion still be performed?

    Work.....How long were you out?

    Can you take 3 weeks? Dehydration, fatigue and bathroom discomfort in the first month is common. Good Luck 💚

    My first post...be kind

    Hi! ❤Being kind and gentle ❤ Congratulations on your success after WLS that lead to fertility. Sorry about the PPD, the joys of motherhood can be tricky sometimes But Revision may not be the focus right now. Keep that in your back pocket for emergencies only. Only your surgeon can tell if its necessary so see your Surgeon because they can definitely help but also consider support groups/therapy etc. Perhaps getting to the root of the gain will kickstart your ability to heal and continue on your journey. Plenty of people have losts gained and lost the weight again without additional surgery, so its always possible! Don't lose hope❤ Cheering you on (again)🎉
