15 LBS FROM GOAL/SLOWER LOSER/NEW BOOBS!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to check back in at 9 months post op to say life is FABULOUS! I had my sleeve in Aug 2012 and had a complication free experience. Aside from occasional nausea, I haven't experienced any real negative side effects. I work out 5 times a week with weights and cardio. I had a breast reduction and lift on Friday and I can't believe how amazing I feel. I started my journey at 5'6" 235 lbs. I'm now 160, with a goal weight of 145. I've attached updated pics, although they are pre breast reduction. So, now I look and feel slimmer. Anyhow, just wanted to share a positive, complication free experience. Dr. Mueller in San Diego is excellent! Good luck everyone! Oh and take your vitamins!!

What were the size of the girls before and after? I really want a reduction once I get closer to goal. Your body looks very well proportioned. Congratulations

Hi There! I was a 40 E before my sleeve, and a 36 DDD last month, before my reduction. They were also very saggy and lopsided. So, I'm guessing once swelling goes down I am a 36 C now. Dr said maybe a D until I lose my last 15 lbs but I doubt I'm a D. I'm SO thrilled!! If you go to realself.com you can see tons of people's journeys and pics.

I was going to wait too, by my Dr told me 20 lbs will hardly make a difference at all and that insurance may not cover it if I waited to lose even 5 more lbs, due to minimum tissue requirements.

You look amazing!! Great results from your hard work.

I too am 15 lbs from goal. I have a follow-up with my sleeve surgeon in 3 weeks - I will definitely ask for a recommendation to a plastic surgeon! Wouldn't hurt to go for a consult!

I'd like a TT & reduction/lift.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
