My Dr said give it 2 years. Now each Dr is different but most say the skin will still form and tighten up to 2 years post-op. The least amount I've heard is 18 mo.

I met with the PS in May. I had my VSG on Oct 30, 2012. I have my arms scheduled for November 2013, and the "girls" will be done early next year. My PS said the last 20 lbs I need to lose won't be coming from either of those areas. I didn't even talk about it with my VSG surgeon. I went straight to an expert in skin removal. :)

LOL well I got info on the Plastic Surgery that I was looking for, but she never got her Sex question answered. I was told when you feel up to it. I am mentally ready now at 5 days but we have agreed to wait a week or two depending. The Doctor said when you feel up to it.

Thanks everyone. I thought "post plastic surgery" would be a giveaway that i had plastic surgery already.

Okay, I DID ask this question at my consults. I was told to wait 6-8 weeks and here is the reason... assuming you ENJOY "the deed" your heartrate will go up. They don't want anything that might cause small bleeds or whatever... so for the first 6 weeks post op no vigorous exercise of ANY kind. i was glad they were clear on this because I was thinking... there might be "things" that were okay to do sooner and there really aren't.

      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.
