Thanks for the add. I'll be 6 wks post op on Monday. Couldn't feel better! Well maybe if I'd lose a little more. lol! I took it easy for the first 3 days and just really rested and walked a little at a time. I couldn't help but wonder why I was so nervous because it wasn't as big of a deal as I thought. Best wishes and message me at anytime.

I just saw you're in indiana...that's where i'm originally from! How are you feeling after surgery? I'm having mine on Friday!

I am 5 wks out and frustrated! No restriction and hungry! I loved the way I felt right after surgery and knew after eating hardly anything that I needed to stop. I did great. Now my mind is playing tricks on me and I don't feel restriction and want to keep eating. I am trying to have self control but this is really hard!!!! I go in 2 days for my first fill and hopefully this will set my butt straight.

where is your port?
DoingIt4Me! replied to jennifer1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Myport is about 2 inches above and to the right of my belly button. My surgeon made a vertical incision that started in my belly button and is a little more than an inch long. This is where she inserted the port. I have 4 other incisions that are not quit 1/2 inch long. They were glued and my scars are very minimal. I am only 4 weeks out and they are not really noticable. -
I know how you feel. It's pretty normal. Really, looking back, I didn't have anything to worry about. I did great and bounced back within about 3 days. Just plan on a couple days of rest and relaxation. It really was nothing like what I thought. I'm pretty impressed with my scars too! They'll disappear within no time!

Great job! I was banded on April11th and fluctuate between 18-20lbs down. It really makes such a difference.My clothes are fitting better already and I can't wait to see how much better things get in the future!

So glad everything is going well with you! My surgery date is scheduled for 5/27. I am supa nervous!!!

On Monday, I got dressed and put on a pair of my jeans. They seemed a little looser but I thought it was just me. Maybe I already wore them and hung them back up. So yesterday was my first day back at work. I pulled my scrubs out of the closet and put on the pants. Wow! I have already lost quite a bit of room in my thighs and butt!!! They are no longer busting at the seams and are kind of baggy! Or, I guess it could be my stomach instead of my butt. Either way, it's sooo exciting! I can't wait to see what a little hard work will do!

breast size b4 and after weight loss surgery
DoingIt4Me! replied to DoingIt4Me!'s topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I had to reschedule my appt so I won't go for a consult until Tuesday. I'm still not too sure what I want to do. I'm just not a surgery kinda gal. I think I'll go to the consult but wait it out and see how things end up. -
Lmao! I'm sure we're all with you on the positions comment! The pin up photo shoot would be really fun!

Yay! So I guess I have a chance to get back into 8's again? I've wondered why about 2 years ago I had to start buying 9's. WoooHooo!

It's only week 1 for me and I'm now down 14.5 lbs. I put my jeans on and they aren't busting at the seams! It feels great!!! I can't wait to see what the future holds. I would like to get back into a 10 and I would be happy and satisfied. I'm an 18 now. I know before when I lost, it really puts you in a whole other mind frame. It's a totally different world. Be happy and vein but don't let it change what's in your heart or how you treat others. I can't even imagine being a size in the single digits! wow!

How are you doing? I'm bouncing back great! My bellybutton incision is the worst. That's where my port was inserted so it's healing a little slower than the rest. Can't wait for the month to be over so I can start my aerobics classes again and really get into a routine and include some weights!
