Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey

BBK,

I am wondering how you are doing with swelling. You seem to be one of the only people whose Dr. doesn't have them slapped into a binder. I think your Dr. said it was better for blood supply to the incision site. How's it going? Do you think the lack of binder is making you swell more or less than the other folks? I know it's proably hard to make a comparison like that, but I am trying to prepare for my eventaul PS and would like to get more info on life without a binder.

You look great!

Thanks Foofy

I think the swelling is going ok. I have more on the right side than the left side still. I really don't have anything to compare it to though. I tried wearing Spanx for 1 day and got all freaked out and ditched it. I can say that I hurt a lot still. When I sneeze I want to cry. I definately think there are many times when I have needed the support of a binder, but alas as much as I don't like him I still follow my Dr's orders. (Am I a dork?)

I can say that I can wear a bikini now. I have one that hides the line and it looks good. No swelling hanging out anywhere! :)

Hello all

Just got off the phone with the Dr's office. I am having a Hernia Physical on the 21st for the port replacement. They are calling it a hernia for insurance reasons I guess. WHATEVER they want to call it, I just want it fixed!

I will go see the Bariatric Surgeon on the 21st and should get my surgery date then. Ah, all seems so long to wait! :biggrin:

Good Luck BBK. You have been through so much!

If you think D's are too small, you would laugh at my B!

I'm still a "C" just a deflated one now. It doesn't matter if I weigh 300 or 150 I have always been a "C" cup.... I think I will get a small implant to fill out deflation.

I am very deflated too. It would be nice to get implants, but I paid enough for this surgery and I really don't have the money to spend on

boobs. My daughter is a DDD. She had Gbypass and her boobs look like

tube socks.

      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! 😞
