Does this happen to anyone?
BlueOctoberGirl replied to jonnmann1028's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You really need to chew better. I am 2 years out and if I eat too fast, drink too soon or take too big of bites I always puke. Just remeber to slow down and chew your food well. You might want to keep notice of what foods is causing this. For me...i can not eat ANY stringy meat..like BBQ or pot roast. I always end up getting sick from it becasue it feels stuck. It took a while to figure it out for me. Good Luck! -

Did he remove the fluid to help flatten out your tummy? I feel like mine needs that too. I am still swollen but thought it would be flatter by now. -

Comparing tt pain to c-section pain
BlueOctoberGirl replied to michelleandcolten's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I have had 2 C sections and just had a TT on Nov. 12th. The TT was much worse. The incision pain was about the same but where the muscles are tied is pretty rough. I would do it again but be ready for a long recovery. I am 2 months out and still hurts a little when i sit up. -

I had TT/Lipo and Breast lift with implants on 11/12/12. Your right it is a tough recovery. I am glad my doc kept me in the hospital for a week. I am 2 months out and still healing. It is gonna be worth it in the end though! -
