Congratulations in advance!!!

I will forever and always stick by the LLysine and iron study (I lost very minimal hair)

Ask for a witness or advocate to be in the room with you (if done in person) or screen record the appointment (let your surgeon know you are doing it for your records) and see if the tone changes

I would lean towards letting Insurance cover WLS and save your money for your new wardrobe or even plastic surgery down the line if you need it

I had absolutely terrible constipation post revision too! I also had an enema then stayed on laxatives for a long time, under the supervision of my surgeon of course. (I was so afraid of constipation again that I think I stayed on them a lot longer than I should have. In fact I am finally lax free using a stool softener only when necessary. But I’m happy to report that the plumbing still works on it’s own 👍🏽) Speedy Recovery!

Have you tried compression shirts yet? https://www.tommiecopper.com/womens-core-compression-long-sleeve-v-neck-shirt/

I absolutely would have considered it earlier if I knew it was a real option for me (but I definitely wouldn’t have done it before I had children)

Dinner out and I choose a salad so I could have cheesecake too 😜 (both from the skinny/low carb menu. The salad is 210 and the cheesecake is 590 cals but I didn’t finish either

if you read enough posts it seems that the rate of loss is a little slower after revision I’m currently 2 yrs post revision from VSG to RNY (for GERD not regain) and for me I have been able to maintain the same weight I was with VSG but I’m now GERD free. Initially I lost a little but since I was already at goal my surgeon wanted me to maintain not lose so I ate whatever I wanted for a short period of time. Then went back to normal (post bari lifestyle of moderation and overall food changes/substitution) Knowing what I now know, I think revisioners should consider asking their surgeons: 1. No GERD but substantial regain- Should I consider VSG to DS/SIPS for greater weightloss? 2. GERD and substantial regain- Should I convert from VSG to RNY with a longer bypass? 3. GERD but no regain- Should I convert from VSG to RNY with a slightly shorter bypass to prevent excess loss? Good Luck ❤️

Very glamorous! I can’t wait to see the whole outfit

Fabulous! I ❤️ that belt

Hi new friend ✋🏽 I can’t remember making smoked chicken but there was dry rubbed and bbq in a post or two. I barely ever cook chicken because I hate the cleanup (sanitize everything 🙄) but when I did it was oven baked (drumsticks) or pan fried (breast/boneless thighs) But now thanks to Airfryers I just season and let the machine do the work, flipping it half way through the cycle. Same for the tofu - I season and cook and about 75% of the way through I add the sauce/drizzle. Airfryers really are handy. I hope that helps ❤️

Please do continue to post! Your posts could inspire many people. Rest assured I don’t cook “beautifully” for myself most of the time. I plate my family’s food extremely different from what I toss in my bowl. Also It’s summer so I’m not cooking anything that takes longer that 10 minutes 😂

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! So exciting! I’m also late to the party

Having several consultations is always better It’s pricey (especially that area of Mexico) but I’ve read in various online groups that it’s because they cater specifically to American patients. Also if doing a face lift perhaps go with a surgeon that does only face work so you can see a lot of anticipated outcomes Good luck!

That looks fabulous !

The person in the video may have really good genetics or only had their skin stretched for a short period of time (like pregnancy) Dermarolling is supposed to force collagen production through micro injuries but it’s not for every skin type. If you are prone to bad scarring it is definitely not recommended. Some slight improvements are possible with radio frequency skin tightening because it’s suppose to prompt collagen production also (nothing even close to this) but the very best results are with removing the excess skin completely.

Congratulations !

Sounds like you have recurring strictures. What did your Bariatric surgeon suggest?

I started out with MyFitnessPal but over the last 2 yrs I switched to Baritastic because it’s easier (I prefer the scan feature)

Wow what a long road! You look positively radiant, congratulations in advance ❤️

Looks good! Any specific brand?
