Karey, except for the tummy, you have a very young looking body. After today, you will look young all over!

Wishing you the best!

I agree. You have great skin! You are going to look fabulous when this is done.

Thanks for sharing. Watching everyone go through their surgeries is so exciting.

Well I survived! I think I was euphoric when I started coming out of the surgery. The recovery nurses thought I was entertaining. They said most of their patients aren't as happy as I was coming out of anesthesia. The nursers were great. Not sure how I look, except that I am definetly in the flatlands. I have a new low profile port and the band doc decided to take some of my fill out. I think because it was her first low profile port and she wants to give me an adjustment so she can see how it works. I am in a lot of pain and trying to stay on top of it. It's not so much the stomach as it is my Lipo and my hip and shoulder. Feels like they pulled muscles when they were getting the compression garments on. I'm not sure about the size of my breasts, they have padding in between them and the bra, but my breast are a lot higher! The PS said he took 3 pounds of fat with the lipo. One exciting thing was that the PS said there was very little fat on my stomach, it was mostly skin. They removed 4.5 pounds of skin. He took a picture and I might post it, don't have it yet. Well I hope this makes sense. I'm falling asleep as I type, so I better quit. Thanks for all the well wishes!

Hi Everyone,

I've just recently joined this forum and only just found this part of it. karey i wish you all the best. After reading all the posts I have to tell you all that you all are very inspiring. I have not had my surgery yet so needless to say this thread has me very excited in hopes of what I may have to look forward to. I admire you all for being so willing to share.

Karey, I have to tell you the reason I chose to follow your thread was because of your name. I assume you like to quilt and I am definately a quiltaholic.

Hope you are happy with your PS. I am praying for your speedy recovery.

Texas T: I do love to quilt! I'm a freak for fabric!! My daughter is getting married in May and I'm making her a jean quilt. Every other square will be embrodiered with sayings about love. I've got the squares cut and thought it would be a good project to do the embrodiery while I recupperate. So far, I feel way to crappy, but I'm expecting that will change soon.

Think I will have to go in to the doc today, I'm having a lot of bleeding around my drains, not sure where it's coming from because of the compression garment. My garment is soaked. Did anyone else out there have this problem? Anyway, the pain is more tolerable today, so I guess I'm on the mendl

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
