I am a bit, I think that’s what’s causing the little crease above my belly button. However, it’s not too bad. I haven’t experienced the “swell hell” that I hear people talk about.

I have that little crease too! I like it! I pretend it's abs! LOL!!!

I’m up on 1/14. I leave for Miami one week from Sunday. Congrats to you @Kris77 and @ChubRub! Are you both having the same procedures?

Why did you choose to go to Miami for your PS? How did the cost compare to staying local. I think a TT and bigger implants are in my future. My hubby isn't thrilled but I reminded him that before we got married I told him I had no intentions of aging gracefully!

I had local consults and wasn’t thrilled with any of their results. Also, the cost was insane. My quotes in Seattle ranged from $30,000-$40,000. I paid $16,100 in Miami so even with travel costs I came out way ahead. I found a great doc there that I loved, and had lots of experience working with weight loss patients.

May I ask who your surgeon is?

Weird side effect of my arm lift that I’ve noticed over the last couple days. I had enormous bat wings, which provided great padding to my arms. The last couple of nights, while laying in bed, I’ve noticed discomfort when my inner elbows and laying against the bed for too long. Much like my bony knees that now need a pillow between them I now need a pillow under my now bony elbows for comfort!

23 days post op today. Just did my first 3.5 mile walk post op and felt great! Also tried on a bikini I bought from Shein that arrived today. The cups are teeny tiny-one errant move and I’d be in a nip slip situation! This’ll be going back, but it’s fun to see my 51 year old boobs looking like 21 year old boobs :)

Six weeks post op. I’m heading to Phoenix next month and need some warm weather clothes. Never thought I’d be wearing a sleeveless dress! I found this today in Portland, was stunned that I fit in a size small. I’m feeling so good, and am so very glad I had this surgery!

And vacation dress #2. I REALLY never thought I’d feel comfortable in a strapless dress! This was from another cute little boutique in Portland, also a small which just blows my mind.

my honest first thought you look stunning and the green is gorgeous. I am not much into clothes or being fancy but I have been working on wearing things I have not since I was a kid pretty much. Like short shorts instead of Bermudas ... wearing shirts that are either tucked in or don't cover the butt of my bottoms and wearing more casual dresses than I wore in my lifetime (literally) I have yet to conquer the swimsuit arena. I have collected some I got cheap. I think part of it is "poolside politics" 🤣 and I know how critical the people are.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
