For people who have a apron



Recommended Posts

Hi I am 5ft1 inches tall and now weigh 209 from 255 and this month on the 12th will make my 2 months post op (and I thought I was going to be a slow loser) well anyway I have a apron (fat hanging below private area) and because of it I dont look like I lost almost 50 pounds for those of you that have or had a apron when did you really start to notice a difference and did you wait till goal to have it removed?

We are the same height and started at about the same weight. Give it some more time and some of that will "pull" up. You are still a newborn at 2 months. Stretching and toning exercises help!

I'm about 40 pounds from goal at 5'7, my apron pulls up & in some but it's still pretty noticeable. I consulted with plastics at 10 months post op but due to being a full time student can't have it removed until I'm 1 year & 1 week from sleeve date. I'm having a corset trunkplasty on May 28th. But they would have done it at 10 months. It depends on your surgeon & plastic surgeon.

I just learned something. Didnt know what an apron was lol I thought it was something grandma used to wear when cooking and doing dishes. No apron and no skin blocking my private area. Whew! That would be uncomfortable Im guessing. Thanks for the education.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
