Annexing I would not hit the gym until your cleared by your doctor because seven though you feel great it takes 6 weeks before your inside heals, I would just walk as much as you can perhaps I your neighborhood you don't want to go t far because you may have a set back .

Misformimi when I mentioned everyone look at me like I'm crazy because they think I look great I do but do not like the extra flap of skin on m tummy. I am also looking into a mommy makeover because it includes a breast lift .i know my insurance covers the tummy tuck but I'm not sure about the lift so I am now saving for that . Have you started reviewing any thigh lift videos to see if that is what you want ?

I am looking into a tummy tuck options right me because of the extra skin on my tummy since weight lost , I work out 5 days a week for 2 hours a day . I'm am going to start saving money now because I am also interested ina mommy make over I'm loving my new body and my goal is to have it the way I want it do to all the hard work . So I day if you can go for it body conturing is an option .

Hello and welcome everyone , congrats on your choice on being healthy . You got this , the time you all all spending on the preopt as well as knowledge you received now is priceless .Trust me everything was so worth the wait good luck .

Hi I am thinking about a tummy tuck because I have lost some much weight, has anyone thought about this ?

Msj2015 my progress has been excellent I have had no complications and I am doing great . I selected rny because it was the gold standard and I wanted to have surgury only once and not risk having a revision or the chance that my insurance would not cover the procedure . I had the option of the sleeve or RNy but selected rny also because of acid Rolex I didn't want to have to deal with the chance of developing that as well . Congrats on your choice on being healthy and if you have any questions feel free to pm or email me . Keep me posted on your progress and good luck you got this .

Plsfinder you must get in your protein, that's number one without protein you can't heal nor get the nutrients you need , continue taking your vitamins and drinkng your water. Continue exercising and maintaining your calories per your doctors orders and the weight lost will resume . Keep me posted .

Blerdgirl your one in a million most people I know if you talk with them they will tell you the pain they have gone through it is not a nice thing to go through no matter what age you are if your not happy with yourself as a direct result of your weight. I do not know a lot of people would say they were happy being overweight when they have challenges, ongoing health issues , as wel as other challenges . I'm glad you had such high sef esteem but many people who suffer with being overweight do not .

I really feel bad for them because I understand how food can control your life and how it is use to hide other issues such as depression, stress eating and other problems. The pain in their eyes you just want to tell them things can get Bette with proper eating , making good choices as well as weight lost surgury .

I was a type 2 diabetic and on insulin injection, had high blood pressure and high chloysterial , I came home off of all meds and my A1C levels are a 4 im doing great feeling great and I exercise 2 hours a day for 5 days a week . RNY was a life saver for me , congrats on your chance for being healthy .

Icallhimbuddha welcome to the group and congrats on your choice being healthy have you decided on what surgury your having ? Thid is going to be a learning experience but oh so worth it keep us posted on your progress .

Jrp12365 yeah for you. That's a milestone your off and running now congrats on your choice to be healthy .

Yes I have tried them but they are so expensive I do not think there worth the price but it's ok .

I would have someone home with you for the first week at least , you just had major surgury you need time to heal. Good luck and congrats on your choice on being healthy .

I started exercising as soon as the doctor cleared me , I began walking everyday and then 12 weeks later I joined the gym .

No complications I'm doing great and I am 10 months post opt.

I had surgury 5/19/14 starting weight 332 , surgury weight 316, goal weght 170 and I am 5 feet 11 and live in MI.

I agree with Sugarfreeme I had a stall of almost 1 month when I afjusted my calorie intake the weight started coming off again , I exercise 5 times per week got at least 2 hours . Stay focus the wright will come off . Good luck .

MeSparkle83 you got this focus on one day at a time and before you know it you will be on the losers bench . Good luck and keep us posted .
