"Re-sleeving surgery?" Is that really a "thing?"
Elode replied to WLSResources/ClothingExch's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know but before I had my surgery I was worried about stories of regain ect and my surgeon said not to worry about that just do what I'm suppose to do BUT if I ever needed it he could always do a revise. I don't see that happening. My husband took the kids and I out for my early birthday breakfast I always get the eggs Benedict and I ate the exact same amount I ate at 3 months post-op. A good 5 bites and done. I've been eating on that same meal ALL day! I finally throw it away. See what your surgeon says. You would be different case than me. -

@@sbrainwater Thank you! I work hard to get those stats and keep them. Humm things that help me....well this website was huge for me because I learned a lot from members continuously. I basically just take it day by day. I don't weigh too often because I knew that would drive me nuts so that helped a lot. It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been real hard either. All of my weight loss came from what I put in my mouth. I've exercised a few times but I wasn't good at that part of the process. I had 0 hunger for the first few months and that went away at month 4 I'd say. I get hungry now and I really have to watch what I eat. I have really good restriction so I can't eat too much. Everyday is different. I can eat anything I want I just have days of not being hungry and days I feel like I'm hungry all day! Water has always been a pain for me. I have to really focus on getting enough water in. I like sugar! Someday I don't feel like eating and I just want sugar! I have to fight through those days. I was diligent as far as tracking my food. Everything I ate I tracked. I've kinda strayed from that so I need to get back on it. The weight came off surprisingly fast but this last few lbs are hanging on for dear life. I'm pretty sure I will be forced to exercise regularly to get it off. It's hard to give advice because you may be completely different than I am. Just do your part and let your body do its. If you read through here enough you'll see that everyone stalls, people always thing they aren't losing enough or fast enough compared to this person or whatever. Don't do that! Don't compare numbers, time frames or anything thing else with anybody! Just be present and aware of your own body and what you need to do. Oh and don't let anyone ruffle your feathers in here! Take what you need and leave the rest. Good luck!!! -
My 1 year anniversary is coming up in 4 days! I've posted plenty of pictures in the last year but this one is one of my favorites! It has nothing to do with my face or body but has everything to do with my health. I'm still have those "pinch me" moments quite often. It doesn't seem real, my brain still has issues comprehending the numbers that I see on the scale. I feel incredibly blessed to have been given the chance to have a "rebirth" and I want to thank each and everyone of you who has been with me on the journey you guys are a big reason for my success. I would name you all off but It would take forever and I don't want to miss anyone. I am thankful for each and everyone of you and wish you all a successful and blessed journey to health! Let's keep it going! This is a NSV but the numbers are just as important to me. ❤️ WINNING!!! ❤️

I just want to thank you all for your suggestions and help through this hardship I'm having. No joke! We all know this isn't easy and if it is for you God bless. I have a lot of eyes on me so to speak and I don't want to let them down but more than that I don't any to let ME down.

You guys are a true blessing and I am now and forever thankful for each and every one of you! -
