June 2013 vs June 2014....best year ever

Holy makeover! You looks great! What are you stats? Did you have a TT or are you that fortunate to look so great with no loose skin?

You look great! I have to ask if your stomach returned to that shape alone? I am worried about all of the extra skin I will have to contend with. I hope my skin will return to a tolerable level of jiggle.

Thank you! So I'm 5'2 and I'm 36 years old. Stats below

Hw- 255

SW-241

CW- 157 (as of today!)

GW- 125

No TT (yet). Right after the surgery I started slapping on the jerkins skin firming lotion like a crazy person. I don't know if that really did anything but in my head it did. Once I hit 189 I started working out a LOT. Spinning, Pilates, yoga and boot camp. I can't say enough about Pilates, I think that helped a lot.

I do have lose skin mostly around the lower area. And you can see if from the side but overall I was expecting a lot worse. I carried most of my weight in my tummy so it was a big concern.

I've also never had kids so I'm not sure if that means anything.

You look amazing! I will have to stock up on the Jergins and hope it helps me some. I have had 2 kids and was huge with each pregnancy so it is more of a pipe dream, but a girl can dream. Pilates is supposed to be amazing for strengthening the core and is on my list to try. Thank you so much for being open and honest. You give me hope I may be able to avoid a TT.

I'm always open and honest with this surgery stuff (for the good stuff and bad). Feel free to email me with questions or at those panic times (we all had them pre op). Sometime people tend to dwell on the bad or only talk on the boards like they are the perfect patients and everything is easy. It's ups and downs. But the ups will always out do the downs

Wow you have amazing results, huge congrats!!! Your stomach is awesome!!!!! Sadly mine looks like a deflated pillsbury dough boy :/ I am proud regardless, but so happy my doctor said he can do my Panni this summer!!!! I need to lose 10# more! We still want to have one more child so plastics are a few years out but getting rid of that huge piece will make exercise so much more comfortable!!!! Best of luck with the rest of your journey!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
