My face was the first thing I noticed.

They say, when losing weight, fat is lost from the most recent place it was stored.

So it takes a long time to lose weight in areas like the stomach and hips

- which are the first places we tend to store fat.

For me, I only gained weight in my face in the last 3 years pre-op,

and that's where I saw the most changes right after surgery.

I started in a 46DD. I'm now wearing a 40 D or DD depending on brand. I'm wearing my bras on the 3rd hook, so I'm think I should be able to try a 38 D /DD soon, even if I need to use a bra extender for a little while.

I'm about half way to my goal, so I'm hoping for a 34/36 D when all is said and done

@@byebyefat thanks! My surgery was 4/28, I'm 5 months out.

I went back to work at 3 weeks post op, so I vividly remember how I felt. Lots of uncertainty for me, and hopefulness. Now I'm just confident!

Face definitely, followed closely by butt. Boobs sadly, are still in the Grand Tetons arena.

      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.
