Omg yessss I will try anything!!! What wraps are you talking about?

Ok so I follow a couple of ppl on instagram who sell or promote the wraps. I believe they're called" itworks". If you are an ig member it will be easy to find in the tags section under #tummytuck or just Google it

I guess I just said vain because my goal is to eliminate health issues, and live longer. Not to look cute in a bikini, ya know?

Lol I'm sorry I don't know because I want to be healthy but for damn sure I want to look better and feel better about myself. Though I'm not aiming for a bikini, as sexy little one piece wouldn't hurt.

Curvy you are young.....I think you will bounce back...I've seen people twice your age that don't look to bad...don't worry honey you have many years to tone up....take care and good luck

Thanks guys! I'm 21 so I think my age with do me well however my arms are rather large so I'm super concerned about that area. I know my legs will be fine I'm curvy so not to much fat just in the stomach area. I've heard massages help I'm not sure how but I've seen some pretty successful people that's proven that. I'll do whatever it takes and I think that will take me a long way.

No I haven't had the procedure yet however I will be sleeved on the 24th of March! I literally have a couple of things left to do then I will be able to just focus on the date. I haven't picked out a specific weight but I wouldn't want to go under 150 because I'm curvy. I'm 5'7 so I don't want to be too skinny. I'm mixed so I think I'll still have my curves but ill just have to see as I go. You?

150 sounds great. What's left to do? Do you think you're ready for all the stuff that comes with the surgery? I'm slightly afraid of the pain.

Okay so I have to go for a group class to get some info for pre and post op diet and pay the $600 program fee. I think for the most part I'm mentally and physically ready but I don't think that's an experience you can be fully prepared for because of various reasons. The biggest reason is you won't know fully until you've been through it. As far as the pain goes my surgeon has said she will put a bulb with numbing meds in my largest incision. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it to you but everyone said it has helped tremendously and they use less oral pain meds.

I'm just hoping for the best and if push comes to shove I will just have to have to evaluate at that point.

      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.

      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! 😞
