My surgeon is very experienced in the single incision VSG but even he hesitates to do it. I’ll tell you this honestly, he did 4 incisions for me and they are TINY. I’m talking mm not inches. 15 days out and they’re basically completely healed. No regrets. I returned to work today and actually showed them to the people there and they were amazed. They couldn’t even spot 2 of them! Also, I carry my weight in my tummy, so I know I’m going to need a tuck as soon as I stabilize my weight. With how small they are, they won’t be noticed and with the plastics, I’m not worried at all.
Also, arnica cream works wonders!

That is reassuring because as you mentioned, if the surgeon is experienced with the single incision and finds that he does need to add more incisions the chances are they will be small and not noticeable. I’m hoping to avoid the loose skin if possible so that I won’t need a Tummy Tuck. I’m active and go to the gym about 5 times a week and I need to lose about 50-60 pounds total to be at my ideal weight. I’d settle for 40-45. Being that I am considered lower BMI I am fully expecting to lose slowly. From the posts I’ve read it has prepared me for that which I am completely fine with. Of course I’ll only really know when I actually have the surgery. Thanks for the tips and advice.

Thank you for the kind words. I still struggle bc I felt like such a ding-dong after posting Picts. Still so insecure about having people purposely look at me. But thank you for being so sweet. Yeah, the social anxiety piece was the main driver. It was no way to live!

Thank you for the photos, you look wonderful and very happy. You mentioned you had Hair loss, how long did it last?

I think it’s still going on. My doctor said it should start slowing down. I have noticed a ton of new growth though. It sucks. Sucks. But it doesn’t happen to everyone!
