Hi,

I am not putting anything on the scars right now. At first I put neosporin on them but my clothes would get all oily and yuck. I do put 50 SPF sunblock on the arm scars anytime I am going outside for more than just 2-3 minutes as it is important to keep them protected from the sun. It's funny because where the scars are there is a very white area surrounding the scars. The arm scars are darker than the Tummy Tuck scar which is fading very well. The breast incision scars are completely gone now because he cut around the nipple.

I will be adding more pictures shortly. I just ordered a new bikini from Victorias Secret that will be here by Monday!!

Take care,

Misty

Thanks for sharing your story. Great website. Makes me want to go to Mexico to get the rest of my stuff done! Looking forward to your new pictures. How are your arm scars doing? I want to have my arms done. Were they painful?

Misty,

Great website and you look amazing. I have a question to you: I had my lap band surgery in April, 2008. I have to lose 65lbs. What do you say, can I go for Lipo on my hips and arms?

Thanks so much.

The breasts were the least painful, arms were second, Tummy Tuck was third painful, suprisingly, the Lipo and the butt were the worst! My arm scars are doing good! I keep 50 SPF sunblock on them while outside in the sun, the rest of me is tan for the first time in 20 years. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bathing suit before!!

I need to have hubby take some more pics and update the website. Right now I am very bloated from PMS so it will have to be next week. I am sure I don't look any different, but I certainly feel different this time of the month...blah!

Hi there,

Although you would have to consult a PS to answer that for you, my first inclination is to say no, loose the majority of your weight before doing any PS. You might find out you don't need any lipo after getting your weight off! Good luck to you and congrats on getting your band and making the choice to change your life and your health!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
