I was the opposite.. Far too big, hanging down and now they are the same as they were before having kids and losing over 100 llb in weight. Will add pics later. Good luck for next week ???? Kate -

Tummy done - now for the eyes lol My eyes are still very swollen and tight but no pain at all, even right after the op which surprised me! Kate -

Just to clarify the first photo was taken just after I had the VSG in July 2015. Second after plastics ! -

It's been a week ! You dont have any stats on your profile which makes it difficult to comment. Also you will be bloated from the surgery. As long as you are sticking to the programme, it will start dropping off soon. Best of Luck Kate

Is there anything that surprised you?
_Kate_ replied to 50yearoldme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I find it difficult seeing people pile their plate up with food. I went on holiday 4 months after surgery and the last week was at an all inclusive resort. I really found it sickening watching people eat so much. I wasn't judging in any way, after all I used to do it but it really did make me shudder. Never ever felt that way before and it shocked me Kate. -
I only wanted the sleeve as there is no malabsorption with it and that was better for me. I LOVE my sleeve????

I am English and therefore a teaoholic. I can't drink tea anymore it has to be coffee, which I never drank pre op. Just one of the many changes -
Wow...great news !!

NOT the easy way out...

Amen to that !! -
How many surgeons/hospitals did you visit before deciding?
_Kate_ replied to Little Green's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I only saw one and I felt very comfortable with him from the off even though he was quite a way from where I live. With the skin surgery I saw three before I felt I had made the right decision. Good luck !! Kate -
Painful injections? Any advice?
_Kate_ replied to yasmeenelmajed's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree they are nasty little things. I had to do them for 21 days and I could have wept towards the end. Try and space them out on your tummy, so each one is not near to the last spot you injected. Ice the area beforehand and pinch the skin and hold tight before ramming home that little piece of hell. Lol Good luck! Kate -
Wow... Congrats. You look amazing and very happy Kate

Small filet steak... Could only eat half
_Kate_ replied to trenth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't eat much steak either so if hubby has his mind set on steak, I will have something else. When did you have the surgery? Kate -
nausea and feeling ill
_Kate_ replied to Sammiwill77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear you are not feeling great. Are you constipated by any chance? -
By drinking, I mean alcohol. Don't stop general drinking hahaha ????

It's never too soon to change eating and drinking habits. Will you need another scan before the surgery? Kate
