Looking deflated!



Recommended Posts

I have to say, I am not looking forward to plastics but I definitely need surgery. I need a Tummy Tuck and insurance will cover it but I am trying to decide wether to have another baby first or to do the tuck first so I could experience pregnancy like someone a normal size. I would love to have my arms done too but probably won't be able to afford it. I am only 8 months out but no amount of time or exercise is going to bring my skin back. I have been obese to morbidly obese my entire life and my skin is never going to bounce back so I guess I figure why wait?

I am not offended, no worries - I am just adamently stating that some of us are in a situation that we need plastics to have a normal looking body. I look okay in clothes, but am not too crazy about the visuals without... and I wanna have it fixed and waiting buys me nothing at all.

also, most of the "alternatives" like wraps and all that really have very little evidence supporting that they work long term. Especially for those of us with alot of excess skin.

No criticism intended Jane. It is just another viewpoint that should be considered. You know I respect all you guys tremendously.

      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!
