Congrats Blackberry Juice!

Maintenance has always been the scariest thing for me. I'm so happy to see you are doing well with it.

BB juice,

Can you share your Vitamin routine with us?

WCM

I don't take any Vitamins at this point, I stopped after a few months out.

Thanks for sharing your story. Did you have a personal trainer? I if so, how many months out? Also, I don't see your incisions. How many did you have and how did you care for them? I am less than a week out and worried about how my incisions will heal and look like.

I never had a personal trainer. I already had a good amount of experience with working out before I started surgery. Like I mentioned in my post, I did join a Crossfit gym about a year out - it's all group exercise with coaches, so I got some help learning the more technical movements (e.g. Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, etc).

I had 5 incisions. 2 of them are barely visible, they look the same as the scars from when I had 2 tiny moles removed when I was a kid. The other 3 are not visible at all. In fact, I showed my abdomen to a bariatric surgeon and he was blown away by how good it looked. He said he would've never guessed I had had laparoscopy at some point, and he couldn't believe Dr. Aceves was able to pull out the stomach through such a tiny incision - he said he wouldn't have been able to do that himself.
