Wow that is a very dramatic difference!!! Was your surgery covered by insurance or did you have to do it on your own? How can you tell when it's fat or skin leftover? My stomach is definitely getting flatter, but I still have t his area (roll) over my bellybutton that I feel like isn't getting flatter and I'm curious if it will be an issue.....

Insurance did pay for the procedure. I know that there was fat, but it didn't seem to be an issue with any of the surgeons I consulted. They removed 7lbs of tissue plus they did Lipo too. I had my post-op appt today and he said I should flatten out some more and I go back in 4 months.

You look fantastic ! That's my big concern...what if when I lose the weight I still have to stay covered because of excess skin. My insurance won't pay and I can't afford it. So happy for you. You are doing great and look super.

Wow Fordgal! You look awesome! Your pre pictures look very similar to myself. What great results!!!! I am scheduled for a TT and arm lifts on September 27th!!! I am really pysched! Congrats on your new look! Are you willing to share where you went for PS and how much it all cost? I would be curious to compare my costs. Also, did they have to empty your lapband for the surgery?

      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! 😞
