6 WEEKS POST OP AND I CANT TAKE IT
lilijo replied to Evvydots's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As the others have said, you really should contact your surgeon. Good luck to you. I hope you get relief soon! -
I can offer a different perspective. I haven't been following the rules and I have gained about 13 lbs. I'm 19 months out and did very well for the first year. I don't think they're being mean spirited, just trying to help you. I wish I would have had someone in my face. I wish you all the best on your journey.

Surgery 6/11 strange thing to say...
lilijo replied to JosieAppleHead's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Good luck tomorrow! Like the others' I wore two hospital gowns for my strolls down the hall. I'd recommend extra panties, because you can't trust a fart in those early days. Congratulations for taking this first step toward a healthy, new you! -
That's wonderful news on all fronts! Hope you have a wonderful time in jolly old England!

Were any of you able to deduct the cost of skin removal/arm lift/lbl from your taxes?

Newb here. Starting the process. Appt is June 15th
lilijo replied to Damarie's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It's definitely not the easy way out! I'm 1-1/2 years post op and have had zero regret. The most important thing, in my opinion, is to follow your doctor's orders. If you do that, you should have great success. Good luck to you! -
A tool just as powerful as wls
lilijo replied to AussieSam's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm so intrigued by this thread. Does evoo have a bad effect on cholesterol? I'd really like to try this, but already have high cholesterol. I'm 1-1/2 years post op and have put back on 9 lbs. -
Good luck!

I'm 1-1/2 years out from vsg surgery and I lost 57 lbs and went under my goal. I've gained 9 lbs, but am quite pleased with my current weight. I'm 66 years old and lower weight was not my friend. I find I'm stuck with the dreaded spare tire that just won't go away and am considering plastics. Has anyone had this type of problem fixed, and if so, what did you have done? Thanks for reading!
-
Thank you so much for your response. If I were your age, there's no doubt in my mind I'd go for the body lift. Lord knows I have a lot that needs lifting. You're right in that I need to schedule a consult, but haven't found the courage to do it. I'm glad you had a good result with your surgery!

It's so unsightly! I can't hide it at all. I wondered if lipo is an option or is this tummy tuck territory?

Plastic Surgery Terms for Weight Loss Patients
lilijo replied to New Hope's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
If I must depend on insurance, the case closed! I plan to self pay as I did with the sleeve. I am ready now to get this done! -
Headed to Trader Joe's tomorrow and hoping you'll share with me what your favorite finds have been there. Thanks!
-
Ladybug, I'm 65 and loving my sleeved life! I'm 11 months out and still losing. I've passed the surgeon's goal as well as my goal. Best decision ever!
-
That's wonderful, sleeversue! It's only going to get better!
-
That's fantastic! Wow - 50 lbs - you are really doing great!
-
10 months out and average between 800-900/day. On rare occasions I'll hit 1000.
