Hey all, I started a new thread on the round 2 surgeries. I also added pics of round 2 surgeries before and afters to my skin removal album if you are interested. I am really healing quite nicely,...
Thank you so much! You have to go see the before pics to fully appreciate the afters! I mean LOTS was removed... wish you the best on your surgery... though, it says you are having the sleeve in...
So a year ago I went to TJ, MX (Dr. Marco Antonio Rodas) and had 10 lbs of skin removed from my stomach. This year, I went back to see him again and had the skin removed from my arms and breast. I...
Hi Sue, that is great you found a cheap local. If you don't mind my asking, where and who? I still have 2 more surgeries to go, and of course will go to TJ, MX UNLESS of course i can find something...
Hey all interested in the skin removals... I leave tomorrow for TJ back to Dr. Marco Rodas Nava at LIMARP (my hero and partner in my total body transformation!). Arm lift and breast lift. I have...
Hi Bhoot! It looks so much better now... no more swelling... well only a little bit, and scars are fading already. 4 months out, and I am almost 100% back to normal. I love the new tummy... flat...
Yes. Really. and I am so grateful. If it were not for the Mexico option, I would not have been able to have the sleeve. I would still be 375 lbs, and a walking heart attack. I would still be...
I went to LIMARP facility. limarp.com. Talk to Liliana. And it was Dr. Marco Rhodas - an artist. I need to post an updated photo - just so busy didn't get to it yet. I am 2.5 mos out, and my...
I recommend the CVS hair, nails and skin vitamins. There are a few different options, and if you look on the back, they all pretty much have the same ingredients. I went with the cheapest of course...
I am 2 years out. I had 200 to lose. I am still losing, about 10 lbs from goal. will likely take me another couple months. I lost the bulk of my weight year one and about another 50 lbs year 2. ...
I like the new cut. You may already know this too, but CVS carries a generic "hair growth" formula in the hair care section. It costs @ $20 for a 3 month supply. I get the male version with 5%...
after yo yoing for years, 2 children and coming up on 50 years old, there was no way my skin would rebound. I knew that before the sleeve and had to make that commitment ahead of time. It is not...
Hi Sandra, I won't lie, the level of TT I had was not walk in the park! It took a while to heal, but I also was not smart and tried to do too much too soon. sit still for 3 weeks in the lawnchair...
@OAM, yes I did not expect the benefit to the thighs, but it did help. I still need a thigh lift for sure. I need to repost some update pics, as most of my swelling has gone down, and my incisions...
My personal opinion.... i wouldn't do it. It is slippery slope. You start there and continue on. Focus on foods of the greatest nutritional value, especially at this early stage. the sleeve is a...
Congratulations! that is wonderful. I finally got there too the past month. I am 189 as of this morning. This is what I weighed my senior year and highschool, and that was in 1982!! I am 14 lbs...
OAM, great idea! and she will have the support and accountability we all need sometimes!
Oh yes, Honey! It happened to me! I stood still for so long and lost and gained the same 5-8 lbs for a good 6 months. Then I got serious again and went back to basics with the protein shakes, no...
good point cowgirl jane! I was about a 54 on the richter scale. Down to 28 bmi now - but that is truly based only on numbers, and I know I have 30 lbs of skin remaining, so if I deduct that,...
Lily G, been there, felt that and had the sleeve and totally new person. This will be the best decision ever for you,and soon you will be saying... I love myself!!! congratulations to you and...
welcome Julie, it sure is a hard decision. I wish I caught my decision early at your beginning weight. if I knew then what I know now, I would jump at the chance to have done it before I got so...
i was losing a handful every time i washed my hair. I got to the point of only washing it 2 times a week and getting very creative with styles and powder (so not to look greasy). Then I started...
Certainly hair and nail supplements are good, but I also found that Minoxidil 5% as found in Rogaine helped me tremendously. Stopped hair from falling out and actually had new hair growth, thicker...
wishing you the best John, and lots of good mojo from New Orleans coming to you for the month of October! I am 2 weeks out today and feeling so much improved. Though it is a process indeed! ...
