Finally...excess skin removed!



Recommended Posts

I had revision to gastric sleeve in October 2012. I got back on track to losing the rest of the weight and am within 10lbs of my goal.

1/21/15 I went in for one more surgery. Tummy tuck!! This procedure scared me more than any before. I'm just thankful I feel way better after than I had anticipated. Unfortunately it is hard to tell how good my flat stomach looks yet, still quite a bit of swelling and some bruising. I have 2 drains, one on each hip. I can't wait to see everything once healed!

Anyone else have excess skin removed and how was your experience???

I had lost 90 pounds "on my own" back in 2010/11 and had plastics in August of 2011. I had a Tummy Tuck, liposuction, and breast lift w/ augmentation. I had GREAT results and I was very happy with the experience. Unfortunately I eventually regained 80 pounds of the 90 I'd lost, thus my decision to have VSG this September. Despite the huge amount of weight regain, my tummy tuck held up very well (liposuctioned areas, not so much). You can take a look at my gallery to see some pics of me before my VSG and then the ones I just had taken yesterday. As of yesterday, I was down to only 17 pounds above the weight I was at when I had my plastics.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
