This is the first good thigh lift I have ever seen! I'm really impressed. I had given up hope for myself. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome was this covered by insurance?




Sadly, none of my skin removal was covered by insurance… but absolutely worth every penny!

I was pretty shocked by the results, myself!

Awesome! I hope you are feeling good! My surgeon gave me a 90% wound complication with the thigh surgery. I am in desperate need of it though. I'm glad you are doing well with it! I had my pannis approved by insurance and my surgeon said once I get to goal we have a good chance of getting my thighs covered because they are the most significant he has seen.

Your thighs look great by the way!

Here's a side by side of pre-op vs 4 days post-op. Can't wait to see how they look once the swelling goes down. IMG_2671.JPG.838582e4c662004737f873224fd99566.JPG




Wow!!! I can't wait to see too. Idk if I'll do any of the plastics. I'm a big chicken.

What beautiful results! The more I seem to lose the more my thighs have all that wrinkling going on. Before I never wore shorts because my thighs were huge. Now I really am self conscious about wearing shorts because of all my loose skin.

@nurse247 I can't wear shorts because of the extra skin on my thighs...it looks like I have huge testicles on my upper thighs there is such a flap...I wish it were only wrinkly...

By this time next year it will just be wrinkles :) then you'll wonder where your balls went! (This whole process definitely requires testicular fortitude!)

Lol. I did not expect to lose weight so fast. I was so big for so long my skin is just worn out!

I lost about 2lbs a week, which isn't particularly fast. I don't think losing slower would've made any difference. Like you said… my skin was just worn out! Just glad to finally have it gone… I'll take scars over skin any day!

OMG...this literally made me LOL!!
That is good news, cause I swear my thighs look like a have a second vagina :( Not that you can see the first one anyway cause my panni hangs down so far. Really can't wait to get this off of me too. But another 30 to goal!!

Had my follow up today. I spit a stitch where the vertical & groin incisions meet on my left thigh, so there's a small (about the size of a pencil eraser) opening that I need to pack with gauze. Other than that, things seem to be healing well! I'm still pretty sore on the left, so hopefully getting that nasty stitch out will mean it stops hurting soon!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
