3 years post band and ps now done



Recommended Posts

Hi All, I just wanted to post in light of my bandiversary which is coming up on 19th August. I am 3 years post op, lost all my 84 pounds, went from a UK size 22 and am now a size 6 and have just had my plastic surgery all in one go. I had a breast uplift, Tummy Tuck and medial thigh lift. I had an infection in the thighs but its all coming good now. My boobs are amazing and I love my new belly button. I'm still a little leaky and juicy but I have a major night out in 2 weeks and I'm using it as my celebration for finally reaching the end of the weight loss journey. I have a hair and beauty appointment, am going to splash out on a new expensive outfit and am going to get a tan!

My life has changed beyond belief since the band, to include promotions at work, a new, absolutely incredible man who I love beyond belief and a very recent fantastic figure which I can be proud of thanks to my plastic surgeon.

I wanted to share in the hope that those at the beginning or middle of their journeys can feel inspired and motivated just as I did by all the wonderful and supportive people on this board.

Luck and love to you all xxxxx

How soon after plastic surgery did you get the infection?? I hear a lot of bad things about getting thighs done, but I so need it done badly....my plan is to go to Mexico for plastics and I would like to stay in their after care facility for 2 weeks....just in case any infections arise!! I am just wondering if 2 weeks is not long enough...I figure if something bad was to happen it would be within first 2 weeks...and Congrats on your new look....I know I get compliments everyday, but I am not done losing yet ;))

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
