Wow, those are looking great! Seems like you're healing just fine. I also have one nipple higher than the other. I'm hoping they will settle out more evenly, but if not, I will have them revised when I go in for my second operation.

I'm doing OK. I have new pictures of my whole body to post on my thread just as soon as I redact the naughty bits LOL. My left arm drain fell out yesterday, but it had only produced a few ccs in the previous 24 hours. My right arm drain is still in and it has produced only about 15 ccs in the past 24 hours. I'm hoping the doctor takes it out in my post-op appointment tomorrow. My two lower drains are still producing a lot, especially the left, and so I expect those will stay in for another week. I'm hoping to be given the clearance to take a shower though, That is what I am most wishing for these days!

I finger crossed on the shower!! My drains where the length of the cut and part that was in side was square, it had little holes and the nurse had to PULL to get them out. The right side drain was not bad but the left made me see stars coming out. The boob drains where smaller tubes and came right out. Can ot wait to see new pics!!

I am in Central Florida. My legs are bad too but I am still 15 pounds from my goal weight and my boobs and arm bothered me more. I wear capris all the time and you can not tell I have saggy folded skin. In a bathing suit I can not hide it but oh well. I wear tank tops all the time and I hated my Bat wings I feel like they made me look soooo much bigger then I was. And I could not image have skinny arms and flappy boobs ;) I will have a Tummy Tuck too but I have to let the funds build back up again!

I hope to walk in your path. My PCP is now working with me to get some good documentation to see if my ins will help out at all. Anything will help!

Glad you are doing so well! Thanks for sharing.

That is great!! I thought about it but really did not have issues that I could justify. Then I found out about the Care Credit and that helped me make it happen!!

I have a Care Credit account already that I use for my dental work and for the vet so I will have that too! Just have to get the nerves up to do it. Now I am back into the mode of wanting vacation (cruises) so I have to decide what is more important!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
