Little Kansas Kitty

This is fascinating. In a family of 6, my dad and I were always the ones to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. He always told me when I was little "It's because we are so sweet". I've always been a big sweater especially while working out. If this surgery changes sweat and smells that mosquitoes are attracted to I don't even know what to say. It would be the best thing ever. AMAZING!

Eeeek, I'm surprised they used staples on you. Ouch. There's lots of scar therapy options out there. Mederma has really helped me in the past so I'm hopeful it will do me good this time around. P.S. - noticed your stats. You're doing SO amazing! 131 lbs. gone. WOW!

Haha, that's funny. Glad you're healing so nicely! You are a lucky one.

Glad to hear it. This stuff works amazing! I bought 2 bottles of it yesterday before the amazing deal expires.

Hi! I love Mederma for scars almost as much as I love a good deal on Ibotta! Ibotta has an amazing deal/rebate right now for Mederma cream. Check out my video for details on how you can get if for your weight loss surgery scars for either more than half off the price or if you're new to Ibotta, you can possibly even get paid to try out.

So, there is a shortcut I use when updating my weight. On every page on right hand side when at a computer, there is a long column of featured surgeons, ads, recent status updates, trending news, etc. On the very bottom is a ticker to show how much weight we've all lost titled "together we have lost". In that ticker, if you enter your updated weight, then your stats are updated in your profile. .

That is so beautiful! I absolutely love it. I'm sure it has a special significance to you but what I can see is that you're a doll stacked within a doll yourself. You're letting the little doll shine now.

Incredible success! I loved reading your post. Especially you visiting Israel and all your NSV's. You look amazing. The big question is, did you get a tattoo?

Haha! Me too but I'm only 4 weeks Post-op. It's been happening to me the last week. I was thinking I either need to go to bed a little later or start exercising more.

That made me giggle! I've been thinking about compiling and making a video on these terms. There are so many and I'm still guessing/googling on half of them. Haha!

I agree with @ValJean. What a thorough response, @CyclicalLoser. So many great tips! @kingcake, are you able to stay any longer in the hospital? I stayed for 3 nights by choice mostly because of fear of coming home too early and not having help, plus I adored the nurse team and loved all the pampering in the hospital. I did not have any help when I got home and pretty much did exactly what @MarinaGirl did to prep. I got bills paid for a couple months, deep cleaned my house, filled up my car up with gas and washed it, purchased all my post-op liquids for about 2 weeks, set up my bed so I could easily slide in when I returned, organized my vitamins, borrowed a toilet riser (a shower chair would have been nice at the beginning). I felt overly prepared and that's what helped me come home as I got to focus on just me. It was fun. I binged on Netflix and watched weight loss surgery YouTube channels and aside from daily walks in my neighborhood, I moved from bed to couch for the first 10 days. Lots of napping took place. This is your time for you and you don't need anyone. Just be prepared and get a couple bottles of liquid Tylenol. This way, when you ease off RX pain meds, you can begin taking Tylenol and start driving again. Congrats on your surgery! You're going to do great!

Breathe. Pray. Think about all the positive things in your life. Be happy. You earned this and deserve this new chapter. Look out world, here comes @MamaOnlyHasTwoHands v2! Sending you warm vibes.
