It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this app. I just want to say to everyone post wls, you are successful. Take this journey and make it your own. Be selfish. Put yourself and your health first. Hold yourself accountable and trust the process. Surgery doesn’t make the emotional eating goes away. It doesn’t make it bad to eat those things that aren’t healthy. I fell into that trap of thinking I was exempt and could slide by. But I got myself together and I began to focus on healthy living. I hope this picture inspires you to go forth and become a more healthier you. Take advantage of this new lease on life. Envision how you want your journey to be and make it happen.

A lot of people have that fear, but it's not very likely to actually stretch. You will lose some restriction as time goes, but that's just how this surgery works. To stretch your pouch, you would have to overeat pretty regularly.

I will be having plastics down the line but trying to firm up as much underneath as I can. I used to love pilates.

I cant jump any more.....but have been wanting to try to learn again lol

I had my insurance deductible all paid up. So there was no bill. But if there was I would always have them bill me. Once I paid them, then after all was entered into the insurance company I did not need to pay them. Took 4 months before I got a check back from them.

Congratulations! It sounds like your recovery is right on track if not better than most. I hope the reflux issue was only temporary and was resolved. Good luck with the rest of your recovery 👍🏻

Congrats on your sleeve! I am scheduled for 10am tomorrow! Nervous! :) keep us posted on how you do. Hopefully the nausea will pass for you.

Lex, I am truly sorry for your loss. You need to allow yourself time to grieve. You've been coping the best you could and no one has any right to judge. I am glad that you have found some help for your depression. Take this time to focus on recovery and being healthy. Let the 12 pounds be secondary. As you get healthier, they will drop off. Please take care of yourself and reach out if you'd like to talk.

4 months and 1 week post op I can’t believe how good I feel and to think 106lbs lost Here are some pics

I still battle the gout too. It's gotten worse and I've been to my Doc a few times since surgery because of debilitating outbreaks. He gave me Prednisone and that works fast but can't be taken long term. I was told (like you mentioned in another post) that it's part of the process if you are a gout sufferer but it's almost unbearable at times. It definitely puts a damper on the exercise part of weight loss. We'll have to keep each other posted about this gout thing since we had the same surgery 4 days apart. Congrats on your success by the way.
