Hello everyone.

I am scheduled for surgery on June 18.

As everyone I am concerned about extra skin and keeping everything together as best as possible. I am considering wearing a body suit. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it working for you? Where did you purchase it? I've seen these for post Lipo suction and plastic surgery but those are clearly not available in my current size. Thanks for any and all feedback. :)

I never thought of it. I heard you need to use lotions (I think with Vitamin E). Also of course exercise. I was thinking of just doing a Spanx because I would feel uncomfortable. Anything you find please share !

I am going to find some compression garments and see what they do and hope that I can snap back a bit since I'm still in ny twenties fingers crossed. Other than that I've started a serious skin care regimen. In the morning I shower with shea or cocoa butter soap or african black soap then i use a collagen cream all over. At night i lay it on thick with cocoa butter and bio oil (with my ugly bedsheets so i dont ruin my nice ones) and I am using mederma on the worst parts of my stretch marks before every moisturizing. I keep some lotion at work and rub it on where I can when I go to the bathroom. I keep all my products together by my Vitamins and dedicate time to it each day. And soon I'm going to find a trainer or program where I can work out focusing on my inner things and breasts since building muscle should probably definitely help the sagging. *fingers crossed*

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
