shalee .. i can relate!! the first time my PS looked at my tummy, he asked if i had one ... :grouphug:

just had to lift up the 'top flap' and expose it ... so yeah, i LOVE my belly button ... even if it looks kinda gross right now.

LOL I can relate to the belly button too. I am sure the temp thing will regulate itself. Your body just needs to get used to the smaller you.

Your doing awsome by the way

LJM you look very good! My stomach looked as bad as yours. It is amazing the change. My stomach is also so swollen as yours.

stitch removal wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. my bb is still a bit numb so that was a good thing. they took a few from the sides, but most should just dissolve.

i see him again in 2 weeks. said it looks good and swelling is less than last week, i guess that's a good thing ... :)

i asked about walking on the treadmill and i got ... THE LOOK .... he really doesnt want me on the treadmill yet, but i bargained with him, i will go no more than 1.5-2.0 MPH and the slightest twinge of anything i will get off of it...

every visit i like Dr. P more and more. the first visit (initial consult) i thought he was a pompous ass ... but liked him for some bizarre reason... today i truly enjoyed his company. **shrug** i dunno what it is... i still think he is very confident in his work, but that's what you want in a plastics guy...

sooooooo, i go on the treadmill Saturday morning. i cant believe it will be 2 weeks tomorrow! things have changed so much already... so happy to have the gut gone. i know i have a LONG road still (about 80 pounds after i just lowered my goal) but i will make it!!

LJM - did your ps say you might need another tt if you lose more weight? Mine sounds like I would but I can't imagine I'd ever have anything like this apron that I have now. I wonder if he thinks I want to look like a young hard body instead of a 46 y/o women.

Angie - the belly butt is cute!

steph,

he didnt mention the revision, but i know i will need one if i want it to look 'perfect' ... which at this moment is no big deal, but when i call goal may be... i shouldnt have an apron, but it will be 'skin-ny' ... as in loose skin...

angie - your belly button doesnt look bad at all .. you couldnt even see mine!! :)

LJM - see thats what I'm thinking - I may not look nice and tight and I might have a little saggy skin but as long as I don't have an apron I'm fine with that. I was to the point that I didn't care if the insurance wouldn't pay for a tt, if they'd pay for the pannectomy that was good enough for me - just cut that darn apron off!

Angie I wish my belly button looked like yours. Like LJM, mine is nicely tucked away between my two belly rolls. When I had my lap-band installed that was my goal was the see my belly button...now that is my goal after my Tummy Tuck, because the belly button just wasn't ready to make an appearance even after 80 pounds gone!

      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
