So, today I noticed that the bottom of my "apron " is deflating. This is a good thing. I am 4 months post op but have been in a stall for 2 weeks. Suddenly, I noticed the panniculus getting pruney or wrinkly at the bottom. This is not how I thought it would go. I figured my waist would get smaller and eventually the panniculus would deflate in general. It's kinda exciting to watch. It means something good is happening.

Woo hoo! So exciting when we see changes! It's funny, I was noticing my mini-panni seems larger, but I guess it is because of the loosening skin, allowing it to hang more. At the same time there is some puckering at the bottom too.

Does your face seem to keep changing? Mine seemed to change during the first 20lbs, then stopped.

I was looking in the mirror doing my hair the other day and realized my face changed and now it seems like since I lost so much my glasses take up half my face they hadn't before
Congratulations on the loss keep it up

I had to look up "apron" & damn it, I have one. [emoji23] I am so hoping it goes away. I hate it even more now that it has a name. [emoji1326]

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
