From Tick to PRUNE?



Recommended Posts

I associate my current looks as a TICK. Small head huge body. I CAN NOT wait to change that, I am however, worried that because of all this excess weight I have let myself gain will my face look old a wrinkly when I lose a 100+ pounds.

Do you feel you all look older since you weight loss? I don't mind the trade off for better health but I might need to start a Face Lift fund for my self.

A few months after surgery, my face developed very fine wrinkles. I looked like I was 100 years old. I am 66 years old so I should look old but not that old. My wife suggested I use Bio-Oil (available at CVS). I did and the wrinkles went away. She also had me use African Black Soap. It adds some moisturizers and seems to help.

So in general, I look a lot younger now than before the surgery.

I bought it at Bloomingfoods which is a health food store that focuses on organic foods.

If you look at before and after pictures, you'll see SO many people look younger as they lose weight in their face. I never understood how that happened and here it is, it happened to me too!

Don't worry too much -- moisturize like crazy and just enjoy the transformation!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
