My Dr said give it 2 years. Now each Dr is different but most say the skin will still form and tighten up to 2 years post-op. The least amount I've heard is 18 mo.

I met with the PS in May. I had my VSG on Oct 30, 2012. I have my arms scheduled for November 2013, and the "girls" will be done early next year. My PS said the last 20 lbs I need to lose won't be coming from either of those areas. I didn't even talk about it with my VSG surgeon. I went straight to an expert in skin removal. :)

LOL well I got info on the Plastic Surgery that I was looking for, but she never got her Sex question answered. I was told when you feel up to it. I am mentally ready now at 5 days but we have agreed to wait a week or two depending. The Doctor said when you feel up to it.

Thanks everyone. I thought "post plastic surgery" would be a giveaway that i had plastic surgery already.

Okay, I DID ask this question at my consults. I was told to wait 6-8 weeks and here is the reason... assuming you ENJOY "the deed" your heartrate will go up. They don't want anything that might cause small bleeds or whatever... so for the first 6 weeks post op no vigorous exercise of ANY kind. i was glad they were clear on this because I was thinking... there might be "things" that were okay to do sooner and there really aren't.

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

      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! 😞
