the sleeved plastic surgeon

I remember before my surgery thinking how I didn't care what I looked like, I was going to love my body because I would be so much thinner. HAHA 7 months post-op and that's not the case. I used to love my breasts. Even though they hung down, they looked awesome in a bra and they were just great. Well not they are literally just flat sacks of skin (and i'm only 1/2 way through my weight loss!) So literally the one part of my body that made me feel sexy and that I loved, I am embarrassed by bcecause they don't even look that great in a good bra anymore. Having said that though, I am finding other parts of my body that I am taking a second look at and going- hey that/those are pretty sexy, I like those! (Like the way my legs/thighs look in a skirt now for example). I have been single for 3 years and am so ready to start dating again. I am feeling AMAZING after surgery already- I am still me, but i am a completely different person in a lot of ways as well. I find a lot of men who are into me on dating sites because I work out- but I feel like they associate work out as a nice way of saying, "someone who is thin and always has been thin". I feel like it's misleading when someone just thinks I am super hot curvy girl- and then to see my without clothes on- the scars from surgery don't bother me, it's that I have a LOT of saggy skin. i mean it feels cold and kind of neat to touch- but how do you prepare someone for seeing that? Do you tell them RIGHT before you jump into bed? Do you tell them on a 3rd or 4th date? Do you never say anything? Do you put it out on the table before the first date? LOL I probably didn't help did I? I would love to see answers to your questions bcs I was asking it to myself too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is that Fluid with bad odor? If yes probably it's infection at the wound u may need to do dressing more frequently and use antibiotics local if not then don't worry about it will take its time and stops but either ways it's better to see ur Doctor Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes it started to feel very uncomfortable to the extent that makes me not willing to eat again until I'm really hungry

Hi, Yesterday I was cleared for purée I started with 3 scrambled egg whites ate it in 15 min and chewed it very well My doctor told me that this will make me full But it did not! Actually I'm not sure what is the feeling of being full after surgery, he told me that my stomach will restrict me from eating anymore but it did not! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes u are right I must stop the way of thinking that got me here in the 1st place

The problem is that I don't have a nutritionist yet my surgeon didn't refer me and asked me to follow his instructions for the time being And he said I can eat 3 scrambled egg whites in 15 minutes!

Thank you I gues I hv to get used to my new tummy and take care of the stages I'm going through

Thank you very much ur answer is very helpful, thanks again

I'm looking forward to look like a plastic surgeon I don't tell people what I do when I meet them for the 1st time I only say that I'm a surgeon Hv any of you met a plastic surgeon who is obeese!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost as your measurements I'm 5' 2.5" and I weight 211# my BMI is 38 I'm a stress and a sweets eater I'm a plastic surgeon and my figure is very important for me and my clients I hv been obeese my whole life This year I got hypertension and knee pain and decided that enough is enough My surgeon who is a colleague recommended mini gastric bypass obviously bcs I'm a sweet and stress eater But I totally refused it I'm a surgeon and I know that is it a malanatomical procedure and I can't handle malabsorption syndrome or dumping syndrome!! My friend had 3 car accidents due to damping syndrome and almost died So I promised myself and him that I will control myself post op and I hope I can control the cravings after I start loosing weight and seeing results Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
