Thanks guys. I am getting back to things pretty good. I got a call from PS yesterday. He won't move the port at the same time as the revisions, so I will be having 2 more surgeries. I was hoping he could fix that screw up as well, but oh well. I am sure it will be better to have the Bariatric place fix it, I jsut don't want 2 big scars on my tight tummy! I am loving bikinnis now! lol...

Went running last night and took my 9 year old. She fell it was so horrible, cuts all over, stiches on her elbow. I feel so horrible, she is supposed to leave for GS camp tommorow and now doesn't want to go.....

I guess from now on I will leave my exercise obsession for just me!

:scared2:

Aw, so sorry about your daughter BBK. I hope she changes her mind about camp. No matter how awful she thinks her scrapes are, she will forget all about them once the giggling starts!

So glad things are finally getting better for you! I am envious of your exercise because I still have until 8/5 before I will be released for any. I'm going CRAZY!!

Kathy

I thought I would go nuts before I was released for exercise. I think waiting was the worst thing ever.

DD let me pack her stuff yesterday, so she is changing her mind a bit. I will let you know if she goes.....

BBK: Thanks for sharing. Great pics. I'm glad that your doc is going to fix everything. Are you going to get implants with the breast repair? ? What approach is your doc going to make to fix the problems and when? Your tummy looks fantastic and you are looking absolutely wonderful!

Boo Boo Kitty,

Do you need to have the skin on your arms done? They looked good in the picture. My arms are looking scary. I hate to think about having that big scar going down my arms but I hate the saggy skin too.

Thank you for sharing. You are awesome!

Karey--he plans on readjusting the breasts from the bottom. BUT I am really contemplating implants. I don't want them any bigger but I couldn't handle any smaller. I feel they need to be fuller on top. I hate all these decisions. I didn't talk to him about it, so I hope it is even an option even if I have to pay for the implants themselves. I hate this. He will be fixing the tummy, the sides dog ear with new cuts and some Lipo.< /p>

Lap--I haven't had work on my arms, if I had my way I would. BUT there is that long scar to deal with which I DO NOT want. SO I just work them out harder....ugh...

BBK: I'm wondering if an implant would help even out both sides? I love my implants, my bra size isn't really bigger than I started with, I just fill out my bra better. I have better volume on the top and they just look better. I really would talk to him about it. There's no doubt he'll have an opinion about it! They always do! LOL!

Hi BBK,

Thanks for sharing your photos -- the tummy looks wonderful and you have such gorgeous skin. I'm sure you will be very happy with everything once your Dr. makes the revisions.

I am extremely happy with my implants, and even though I did go up one cup size (there was no way I was going to pay good money for a measly "B" cup :cursing:), you can have an implant and still remain the same cup size you are now. I am SO happy with the way my implant fills out my breasts (especially the upper part) and gives me really nice cleavage even when I'm not wearing a bra.

So my vote is to go for it :thumbup::thumbup::thumbdown:.

Thankyou so much for sharing your photo's even sharing "success" photos of PS can be intimidating but to share the "problem" photo's you have takes much strength. But it is just as important for us to see the complications as it is to see the successes.

You look fabulous with your clothes on and deserve to look and feel just as fabulous with them off even if only you and your husband get to see it. :biggrin: I will keep your revision surgery in my prayers.

Those are some pretty cool pictures, Brandy.

What kinds of exercises do you do on your arms? I have been working on them for months, and see no change. I do the tricep exercises my trainer

showed me. I bet there is muscle in there, but all the skin hides it.

Fran--thanks! I am praying he will do it. I am convinced they are what I need!

Ghost--I agree with clothes I am happy, too bad I have to be naked sometimes....blah...

Denise--I do actually EVERY arm machine they have at my gym. I do them all because I didn't have a trainer to tell me what to do, so I figured if I did them all I would get something right. lol.... They have I think around 9-10 of them. I will write down names next time for ya. I have a ton of skin still but I think it is more sleek with exercise.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
