I just had my surgery yesterday and I'm already home. I was just wondering how everyone felt the day after surgery and the first week?

I am so glad you are feeling better, that sounds so scary!

Why no iceberg lettuce?

Teshia- I'm scheduled for May 3rd as well. I started my liquid diet today!

I'm curious too. I start my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow

This may be an odd question but my sister keeps telling me that I might look "old" after I have surgery and lose weight quickly. So what happens to your face after surgery? Do your wrinkles show up more? Saggy cheeks? I have no idea? So are there any facial creams or lotions to help with any of this?

I just turned 35 yesterday so it is a real worry for me. I am looking for creams or oils that may have worked for others on the process of losing weight. Up until this point I really have not worried about it because the fat fills in my face. I just don't want to end up looking older than I am. CharlotteKat I'm sure you look great and healthy, and healthy is the more important factor in all of this. I need to remind myself of that.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure what my sister is talking about because I think everyone looks younger in their after pictures. Thanks blondie66 I'm going to check out those creams. Do you have a web site for facial exercises? I've only seen one for a double chin.

I have noticed that everyone looks amazing in their after pictures but I have a question? For those of you that have a lot of extra skin in the stomach area how do you cover it up with your clothes? From the pictures I would never be able to tell any of you have extra skin. Do you wear something underneath your clothes or is the skin just not that noticeable?

Great question, I would like to know too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am just at the beginning stages of this and have some questions regarding timelines with Health Partners. I have not had an appointment with a surgeon yet as I have to go to a seminar first. Just wondering what is to come after first appointment with surgeon and how long it might take before I can get surgery? I am almost 100% certain I will be approved.

Thank you both for your replies. I did pick a surgeon that is in network with my insurance. I spent about 3 days researching the ones I can choose from and finally picked. I tried to make an appointment and was told I had to go to a seminar first. I'm not used to the process at all and I know Health Partners has its own process too. Thanks again for your insight, I appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am wondering if anyone can help me with a timeline of how everything goes with health partners? My main question is how long it took from your first appointment with the surgeon to your surgery date? I was not expecting all of the required extras health partners has, so just curious how long it took to complete all the phone call requirements and such?
