Congrats! I'm in Florida so no I haven't heard of him but like Marisol said, you will do great!! Mine is August 29th and I am excited too. Keep us posted. You got this buddy

Hey guys I just found out about this forum a couple of days ago, I've been reading as much as I can, a lot of amazing information here. I booked my surgery for august 17th with longterm WLS, I was wondering if any of you have heard anything about this place or doctor Jorge Maytorena, I'm not going to lie I'm pretty nervous about the surgery also excited about it.

Hi all! I’m two months out on the 12th of August and 41lbs down! Starting weight:122 kg Current weight: 103 kg Goal weight: 75kg I’m not going to lie it’s been hard but it really works! My before photo was the day after my surgery with my surgeon!

Nice!

I'm super lazy too, but the tape stays on a week at least, so it's not much trouble to use.

I've done a quite a bit of research on scar treatment, as I plan to have plastics later this year. as @GreenTealael mentioned, silicone tape, or gels are universally recommended by cosmetic surgeons. They're the only treatment that has actually been clinically proven effective. I used silicone tape soon after the scabs came off. I used the tape consistently, up until about 2 weeks ago. All I have left are thin white lines with a small amount of light pink/purple around them (I am very fair). Most people wouldn't notice unless I pointed them out. This is what I used. I still have TONS left over for when I get plastics. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VE9AL8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looking GREAT!!! Congrats!!!!!

9 months post op and thanks to a birthday in July and using a bad scale at a doctors office I thought I lost and gained but there was literally no change , for a month. Lol. Welcome to the slow down. Now im Focusing on self image, because I'm still dealing with body dysmorphia. Just yesterday I bought a gorgeous bra set , non returnable, and it was too big. But I think I kinda knew it was too big , I just can't stop shopping for the old me. Anyone else do dumb sh#+ like this? Lol

Correction on my surgery date: it is September 6th, not 4th. I'm currently doing the 4-week pre-op diet, limited to less than 800 calories with greater than 90g protein. I've got this!

Cauli-Power pizza is pretty damn good and since the "crust" is vegetables, it's ok to eat! They are expensive considering, but... when you want pizza and can't eat pizza... you can eat cauliflower crust pizza.
