Ack! I plan on sportin flappy skin if I have it. This does not sound like fun! Lol

Its way more fun having a totally flat tummy than "flappy skin". A few days of discomfort from the surgery far outweigh a lifetime of looking at "flappy skin" and having to hide it beneath clothes and/or those Spanx things!

I'm really happy mrsvetrn and not just with the results but also with how they treat me, the dr had ben checking on my in everything also in what i eat, he says its very important to have the correct food cause sleeved patients should eat the better quality food they can cause its in small portions, so he is very familiar with post bariatric patients and i like that.

Great, lara! My doctor, also, specializes in Post Weight Loss Surgery patients. The one thing he is REALLY AGAINST is SMOKING after Plastic Surgery......it is the NUMBER ONE CAUSE of poor healing and poor results of plastic surgery.

Drink lots of Water, too, girlie!!!

i don't smoke so i think there won't be a problem, one of the girls that had surgery same day i dad she needed to quit smoking 1 month before surgery so the dr accept do hers. he told her that if she had quit its time to not turn back and smoke again. that quit smoking is about conviction.

Hello MsVetRN! I'm very interested in knowing the doc that you will have doing your facelift. I think that's what I want done next (thighs or facelift). Would you mind sending me a private message telling me your surgeons name? I had my VSG and my TT both done in the states via personal recommendations but I don't have any recommendations for a facelift. I would greatly appreciate it! Please keep up posted and would love to see before and after pics of the facelift!!!

lara0280, I find it interesting tha all of a sudden you are posting on several sites, none of which you were ever on until the other day. You dont mention your SLEEVE surgery, sleeve surgeon, weight loss, where are you from, etc. Just wondered...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
