oh funny....I stare at my collarbones all the time because I haven't seen them in so long. and yes...the 'girls' will disappear on you. Mine have deflated like popped balloons. PS, I also used Dr. Ren and I am very pleased with her as my surgeon and with her follow up as well..

How long postop are you? Isn't she a breath of fresh air? It's like she walks in a room and silently commands attention and respect. I guess I better tart researching a plastic surgeon.... I LOVE my girls and so does hubby ;)

I was banded on January 14th and including the preop diet, I'm down 75 lbs. with 45 to go. I'm sure Dr. Ren can recommend a good plastic surgeon...they probably get patients asking all the time for a referral.

The first time I saw my collar bones I didn't know what they were. I actually yelled out to my husband that there was something wrong coz I had a weird lump just under my neck!

And not everyone loses their boobs. I did, but I have friends on here who didn't (lucky girls!), so maybe you won't!

Awwww, lellow.... That's funny & sad at the same time. I hope I'm one of those girls... I don't mind a Tummy Tuck, and even a Brazillian Lift... But I don't wanna touch boobies. Lets see!

Loves: collar bones, hip bones, ribs, back bones, general muscle definition.

Not so much: Going from a 42C to a 34B was not exciting in the least. I also was a little sad that I have a pouchy stomach due to excess skin and little bat wings. BUT I would rather have those problems than being my former fat self ;)

Yippee! Loving the reappearance of the neck, too. As for the boobs, my grandmother and mother have a funny phrase that sort of sums it up, "hangsie-downsie."

      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.
