I agree. You don't look your age at all!

Well I hope when I get skinny, all that plump in my face doesn't roll down to my socks, kwim?!:cursing:

I hate to say it, but since I lost weight, I gained wrinkles. The fat fills out the wrinkles.

It's a bad trade off.

I am very worried about that happening. Right now, most people say I look really young for 42. I am worried once I lose the puffy cheeks, I will start looking my age.

Well there's always the nip/tuck for that. I figure it's inevitable anyway and at my age it's the perfect time to do it. If you wait too long, it just doesn't do as much good. 60 is about the right time. It'll last about 10 years so don't want to wait any longer. Of course, TTuck will likely be the first procedure, then face and whatever else needs to be lifted after the weight comes off.

I am afraid of that too. No one believes I am 51 and I always say it's because I'm so fat it pulls all the wrinkles out of my face ... I'm afraid that's going to change .. only time will tell I guess.

BTW - what does KWIM mean?

I doubt if I would ever spend the money on a face lift. I have already spent 20 grand on WLS. Plus I have heard that face lifts really hurt.

Vegas Angel is beautiful I know I see her everyday and a few lines wont change that at all she is inside and outside good looking!!

Awww, you are so sweet, hold onto him Vegas Angel, he is a keeper!

I won't have the money for a face lift. I am having a lot of problems with rashes now from sweating and what not under my panus. Every time I get a bad rash, I go to the doctor and have it documented. Hopefully, based upon that once I finish losing weight I might at least get my insurance to cover surgery for that.

Awww honey that is so nice -- I didn't even see this post until this morning. Thank you!

I intend to do just that!

I have the same issue and I haven't even lost weight -- I guess I will start having it documented too if there is a possibility my insurance will pay for it ...although am wondering if they will include this in the exclusion of "any WLS surgery"?

One thing I do to help prevent the rash is that I take a hairdryer on cool/low and dry the area thoroughly after every shower -- I do the same thing under the girls -- it really helps to keep the rashes to a minimum. Baby powder helps, too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
