Congrats on surgery. How are you feeling? Having any other surgeries?

I'm sore....but I expected that. Much like healing from my RNY only over a broader surface with more incisions!

Mami, yes, I want my breasts and arms lifted. I'll have to save my money for those because my insurance says those are "cosmetic"! Yeah....cosmetic.....my breasts look like fried eggs nailed to a board (my bariatric surgeon thinks my breasts need lifted), and my arms look like wings....if a strong enough wind takes hold, I'll take off in flight like a flying squirrel! Lol

My insurance covered it. All I had to pay was my co-pay! It was deemed a necessity by my insurance company because of the risk of rashes & infections that floppy skin would have caused!

Yay for you!!! Did they by chance tell you how much it weighed? Just curious!! (And like someone above said, it doesn't look like that much, I'm sure it feels like a ton gone though!)

      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'. ???

        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!
