so far am pretty happy with it, will get better as swelling goes down and it gets flatter. Drains are AWESOME!!! NOT!! :P Was supposed to get the second and last one out yesterday, but was till draining too much. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! They are not as gross as I expected, though. I pass out easily and was afraid I'd pass out EVERY time I looked at them or emptied them. Didn't even bother me, from day one!! But.....I am sooooo over it and want it O U T! :angry:

Congrats!!!! It is so exciting! I was told that it takes 2 months to see "final" results due to sweling and settling around. I think you will be very pleased.

I notice you had quite a bit of bruising, I don't think I had any - wonder why? Is the panni with TT different then a TT? I had a lower body lift which is basically a TT with a flank and butt lift.

You could try my method....have your cat bite that bad boy.

That's why I asked how you got him to do it! LMAO

she said 3-4 months till it will be fully flat and I will lose the extra weight from swelling. She also mentioned that I am extra swollen from bruising, so maybe I am more bruised than some people. Bought a clingy shirt today, tried it on, without the binder, looks AWESOME!! Can't wait to see how it will look in 3-4 months!

Now......gotta find some HOT clothes to wear for Thanksgiving, Christmas and, of course, New Years Eve!

      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... :(
