I'm 1 month post, and feeling 99% back to normal. Recovery has been so much easier than I expected. Most of the swelling is gone, still wearing bodysuit for another 2-3 months, to help with healing. Wearing my size 1's, waiting to get back into my 0-00's. Will post updated pics.

You still have a fair amount of bruising. It's healing ver well though. You must be super happy. Congrats.

Dr. did say that I bruised and swelled more than most, but I'm VERY happy with the result. Recovery has been so much easier than I expected, very little pain, no complications. Feels like I never skipped a beat!

Yep, the bruising is gone. Thanks for asking. I love my tummy!! Still wearing Shapewear for a few more weeks, but......the difference now, is I look the same with or without shapewear. Not like pre-surgery where the shapewear had to have superpowers to hide my fat suit! I even bought some HOT bodycon dresses for the holidays, in a size small, thank you very much!!

I'm feeling and doing wonderful! Thanks for asking.

If you have back or possibly other problems, try to get a referral from the doctor that you see for that. First print the criteria from your insurance website and take that to them. Write a letter to your insurance explaining how the extra skin impedes exercise and exacerbates the pain. Also mention how important exercise is in maintaining a healthy weight and preventing any comorbidities from returning. Then the doctor can include this letter with the request for approval. Sometimes insurance denies, just to weed out the not so serious. It may or may not work, but it might be worth a shot.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
