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).

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

💚💚💚Congratulations💚💚💚

Sorry 😢

Hmmmm, That's something to discuss with your NUT/Team. I didn't even think about regularly eating breads until maintenance. The one I eat: Joseph's Lavash Bread, Flax Oat Bran & Whole Wheat, Reduced carbs Here's the breakdown

Pure hot cocoa (100% cocoa, water, half&half and stevia) with sugar free whipped cream #Reusablecup😍 #NotStarbucks😂 #Keepingmymoney😂

I've been eating 1/4 - 1/3 of the Lavash bread instead of 1/2 (serving size) How much do you use?

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 💚

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)

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

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

😭I HAVE THE SAME SCAR TISSUE 😭 I thought I was alone, I am massaging it vigorously in hopes it won't stay hard. But i scar horribly so there's only so much that can be done for me

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)

Can you please rewrite the response ? I can't quite understand what was written.

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?

😭😭 we need hair saga updates!

Thank you so much 💚

Yay!!! Eyelashes 👀

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

I look sooooo much curvier now, i hope it's now just swelling 😂

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)🎉
