Haydee 2 Posted June 1, 2007 Wow! You already look great! Your tummy is so flat! How are you feeling? Are you in alotof pain? Can I ask a few questions? What weight did you start off at? How much did you lose and how long did it take you to lose it? Do you have any more weight to lose? Do you have kids? Sorry for all the questions but I'm approximately your age and am just starting but I know I will definetly need a TT down the road! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im two weeks post op now and yes i have to be honest im in a lot of pain still, i feel not o bad as i have plenty of pain killers too keep me going im doing more each day but i get tired very easily. I am in the uk and we work in stones here i was 19st 2 llbs day of my band op now im 13st so i think that 98 pounds ive lost, that took me 18 months on two fills. Im not sure if i can lose any more weight now as i have found a sweet spot now and im very happy with the weight i am now apart from the swelling from the t/t. As for kids yes i have 1 son Ryan hes nearly 7. I hope that answers some of your questions and i wish you luck on your lap band journey !!

Chickie 15 Posted June 1, 2007 I replied to the other thread, but wow, I just have to comment again! Liz, you look fab. The pain and discomfort you are feeling now will be a distant memory in a another couple of weeks time when you are out shopping for all the new clothes you will need (I needed everything I brought after my TT, lol) Just remember to take it as easy as you can for the next few weeks!

argon 3 Posted June 2, 2007 Looks awesome, sugarplum!! Congrats! But I have one question: why the vertical incision? I'm intrigued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liz2007 0 Posted June 2, 2007 Looks awesome, sugarplum!! Congrats! But I have one question: why the vertical incision? I'm intrigued. i had the vetical incision as i had loose skin at the sides this was to pull me and and give me some shape, the op was called a fluer de lys.

liz2007 0 Posted June 2, 2007 elisabeth and argon thankyou 4 your kind comments. Chickie thankyou also, i hope my results turn out as good as yours have done when the swelling has gone down, i dont look much different in my clothes at this point, but that will be down to the swelling.

JulieNYC 4 Posted June 3, 2007 You look fabulous! I think you'll be really happy with the fleur de lys incision. It gets you so much smaller through the waist than the bottom cut alone does. Hang in there with the recovery. If you're like me, at about the 6 week mark you'll start to feel like yourself again and at the 8 week mark, you'll have to remind yourself that you ever had a pannus!
