Hi Stacey,

My surgery date is October 1st and I start my two week pre-op diet on tuesday. Not looking forward to that part of it. I don't have a buddy and if you don't mind one in a different state I am available. I live in Baltimore MD.

Hi dee!! Nope no problem if you are in a different state. Glad to know there are people all over that are getting this surgery done. I think my biggest fear is the excess skin. I would love to figure out a way to minimize it. I know my stomach will never be flat and toned unless I have a tuck;) but I don't want bat wings lol

DFW Texas here. I am 15 months post op. here to help with any questions.

The key to reducing bat wings is weight training on your arms as soon as your doc allows it. I do not have much arm flab. My flab is my tummy and boobs. When I lay down everything looks great, but when I stand up I see the flabby stomach and my boobs hang down to the floor!

Hi magic and zero. Thanks for the reply and info! Do you know if swimming is off limits or will help as well w the skin? Also anyone know when it would be safe to get pregnant?

[music1618 879]

You will want to wait until your incisions heal, but i would bet that swimming would be good for you arms.

Hi ladies! I went to the nut today. She gave me a stack of papers (more like a book) of stuff for pre op and post op diets. She gave me a list of protien shakes to try. Which ones do you guys find taste the best?

That's the handout she gave me. Any of you tried any of these before?
