I went back to pg 1 and read everything.

You are amazing to have taken all those candid shots. 10 Years ago I had a Breast Reduction too... your scars brought me back.

I am pleased to tell you that ALL of my scars are WHITE and very light coloured. If I was on a topless beach no one would notice them.... Unless I swim in COLD Water then they are a little purplish for a few minutes.

I did not find the pain from the BR that bad. I was back to work in a week and no one was the wiser.. I DIDN"T TELL ANYBODY..

Breast SENSATION questions... no worries there.... because my surgeon did NOT remove my nipple stem, the blood supply is not cut off during surgery. They reshape the nipple smaller to proportionally size it to the 'new' breast but you retain sensation...

I remember in my room after recovery lifting off one bandage to 'peek' at my new boobs... as soon as the cool air hit my nipple... it stood up to attention!! Whew was I happy.

My neck and Back have been much better because I had this surgery.. As well, it make shopping for bathingsuits, bras tremendously easier.

Presurg. I was a 40EE, today I am a 38D cup... still lots to love!

But as my lapband does its job and I lose more weight I'll probably end up a 36 C....

I am waiting to see if I'll need a Tummy Tuck once I've gotten to goal weight. Right now, I am girdling it LOL

Peaches - Thankyou for your post. I'm doing the PS in reverse order to you. TT in 2 weeks and BR sometime next year. I wanted to do both at the same time but the doc wouldn't agree. I've been worried work would give me a hard time about even more time off for additional surgeries, my husband is already sick of my not having any vacation time left over for the family. So it's good to hear you were up and going within a week after the BR.

I went to look at the 12 week pics and it said photobucket took them down for violating TOS.

Must have been the nudity?

But wow, the first set of pics look so painful!! Is it as painful as it looks? I was thinking of possibly doing my boobs if nothing else, but I don't know if I could put them through that!!!!

I am curious how the scars have turned out.. damn photobucket.

THanks for posting. I am going for first consult in a couple af days and am looking forward to having the skin gone from my midsection :scared2:

Neal this is absolutely great, i LOVED seeing the pics, thanks for such a detailed picture narration. You are exactly what i'm hoping to become.

I just had my band on july 20th, almost three weeks ago. I have had terrible, inexplicable complications. Extreme nausea, some uncontrollable vomiting, acid reflux all the way back up into my throat and left ear, excruciating pain......etc etc this whole deal has been a tough experience. I keep telling myself it will get better but man it's something new everyday.

Your pics are great and a bit of an inspiration. This device is in me now so i might as well make the best of it that can be made. I started at 296 and in three weeks have lost 32lbs. Today at the doctor, between throwing up, i weighed 264.

I wish i could say there is glory in losing 32lbs, but with my complications there is none at all. Good luck to you! Have your scars healed from the skin removal? How well have they healed?

Chris

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
