The difference is amazing. Thanks for being so brave to show us your photos. So many of us want/need to go through the same procedures, and it is really good to see the before and after.

I have to agree with everyone here, you look great! And thank you for sharing, I know how hard it is to put yourself out there when people have reacted negatively in the past. It does take a lot of courage to make yourself so vulnerable. Thank you.

Hi there,

my PS did not want to touch the port so it is in its original location. I have not started using anything for the scars yet but I have heard Vitamin E works well. I still have a few scabbed areas that need to heal up before I can start softening the scar. I have been told that the scar will lighten over time as well.

Again, thank you all for your support. I have come a long way physically but need my mind to catch up with where my body is. I still see myself as "the big girl" that I once was. Work in progress I guess....

:^) Katie

You look really good, I am now 3 months out from a body lift, for me the swelling took quite some time and you can really tell when the skin gets to the point that you can feel the muscles and bones below.

it takes quite a lot of courage to do this but it is worth it.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
