Wow! Great job!! I hit 123 this morning. I am excited about my lower body lift coming up in November.

So VERY happy for you!

Hubby's surgery at mayo was a huge success and we are back home. Our experience was incredible, it is clear why Mayo has the reputation it has.

I will be thinking of you for your lower body lift. I really want to know the details of how it goes.

Take care!

Carol

I had mine June 17 2013. 130 lbs. Gone 7 tiny lbs to go. This is the hardest last 10 lbs. I hit a plateau for a couple weeks. But I'm loving mirrors ,clothes and the scale. Weird huh?

I am doing ok. This surgery is no joke. I have a small blister on my but bone and that is what is driving me most nuts. Swelling is pretty intense. I have been resting and walking a lot. I can't believe how great it looks tho. I can't remember having a flat stomach and my surgeon gave me the cutest little tushy! He took off 6.8 lbs of skin. Every day gets a little better but I can say rny was a picnic compared to this. It will be worth it in the end. :)

Im glad your doing well! I'm 3 months post fleur de lis abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. It was no joke with the abdominal muscle tightening! I had 9lbs of skin removed. post-191640-14167381698477_thumb.jpgBut now I can't even remember the pain and have returned to jogging and working out. I just don't have the belly skin flopping around anymore! Lol. And the scar is looking great but I would take a scar over the weight and skin anyday. Here is a current pic with most swelling gone and healing great!

Wow you look great! I still have all my drains in. How long until yours were pulled? I was hoping next week but honestly doubt it. Yesterday the swelling was awful but today a bit better. I can't stop looking at my rear wnd. I never in a million years thought it would be this cute. He tucked some of the fat in to give me a rounded shape instead of the flat tush I had. The muscle tightening is rough and I am still in anesthesia fog.

Oh no! I kind of wish I had done the lower body lift so it would have lift my booty and thighs. But I think I will just do it in another procedure which is what he recommended. I had one drain for a week and the second one for 4-5 weeks bc I still had plenty of swelling and putting out more than 30cc a day. Some days are worse than others. The pain went away pretty quickly but it was the soreness,stiffness and swelling that would fluctuate for weeks.

      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! 😞
