Hi,

I am not putting anything on the scars right now. At first I put neosporin on them but my clothes would get all oily and yuck. I do put 50 SPF sunblock on the arm scars anytime I am going outside for more than just 2-3 minutes as it is important to keep them protected from the sun. It's funny because where the scars are there is a very white area surrounding the scars. The arm scars are darker than the Tummy Tuck scar which is fading very well. The breast incision scars are completely gone now because he cut around the nipple.

I will be adding more pictures shortly. I just ordered a new bikini from Victorias Secret that will be here by Monday!!

Take care,

Misty

Thanks for sharing your story. Great website. Makes me want to go to Mexico to get the rest of my stuff done! Looking forward to your new pictures. How are your arm scars doing? I want to have my arms done. Were they painful?

Misty,

Great website and you look amazing. I have a question to you: I had my lap band surgery in April, 2008. I have to lose 65lbs. What do you say, can I go for Lipo on my hips and arms?

Thanks so much.

The breasts were the least painful, arms were second, Tummy Tuck was third painful, suprisingly, the Lipo and the butt were the worst! My arm scars are doing good! I keep 50 SPF sunblock on them while outside in the sun, the rest of me is tan for the first time in 20 years. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bathing suit before!!

I need to have hubby take some more pics and update the website. Right now I am very bloated from PMS so it will have to be next week. I am sure I don't look any different, but I certainly feel different this time of the month...blah!

Hi there,

Although you would have to consult a PS to answer that for you, my first inclination is to say no, loose the majority of your weight before doing any PS. You might find out you don't need any lipo after getting your weight off! Good luck to you and congrats on getting your band and making the choice to change your life and your health!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
