Finally...excess skin removed!



Recommended Posts

I had revision to gastric sleeve in October 2012. I got back on track to losing the rest of the weight and am within 10lbs of my goal.

1/21/15 I went in for one more surgery. Tummy tuck!! This procedure scared me more than any before. I'm just thankful I feel way better after than I had anticipated. Unfortunately it is hard to tell how good my flat stomach looks yet, still quite a bit of swelling and some bruising. I have 2 drains, one on each hip. I can't wait to see everything once healed!

Anyone else have excess skin removed and how was your experience???

I had lost 90 pounds "on my own" back in 2010/11 and had plastics in August of 2011. I had a Tummy Tuck, liposuction, and breast lift w/ augmentation. I had GREAT results and I was very happy with the experience. Unfortunately I eventually regained 80 pounds of the 90 I'd lost, thus my decision to have VSG this September. Despite the huge amount of weight regain, my tummy tuck held up very well (liposuctioned areas, not so much). You can take a look at my gallery to see some pics of me before my VSG and then the ones I just had taken yesterday. As of yesterday, I was down to only 17 pounds above the weight I was at when I had my plastics.

      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! 😞
