I'm sore....but I expected that. Much like healing from my RNY only over a broader surface with more incisions!

Mami, yes, I want my breasts and arms lifted. I'll have to save my money for those because my insurance says those are "cosmetic"! Yeah....cosmetic.....my breasts look like fried eggs nailed to a board (my bariatric surgeon thinks my breasts need lifted), and my arms look like wings....if a strong enough wind takes hold, I'll take off in flight like a flying squirrel! Lol

My insurance covered it. All I had to pay was my co-pay! It was deemed a necessity by my insurance company because of the risk of rashes & infections that floppy skin would have caused!

Yay for you!!! Did they by chance tell you how much it weighed? Just curious!! (And like someone above said, it doesn't look like that much, I'm sure it feels like a ton gone though!)

      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! 😞
