Aw, thanks Ann. I've been doing ok. I think reading the comments on here and knowing I'm not alone has helped me get through one of my more depressive states. I've been doing research on different...

So, does anyone else feel anxiety and pressure to be perfect? I have been very open and honest with people at work about having VSG. A few other coworkers have now also had it done within this past...

Hi - My surgeon required a cardiac stress test and did some blood work - I think that was it. I had no pre-existing conditions; such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. so other than...

Hi - I used Prosper Lending - it's peer to peer lending. They will finance up to $35-40K with 3 or 5 year pay back terms. Interest rate will depend on credit worthiness of course. I believe they...

Those were hilarious! I never went to a local support group; now I wished I would have. Cheap entertainment :O)

Are you sure you need a revision? Have you tried going back to the basics of what you did right after your surgery? Over the past 6 months, my weight was going up and down and I finally decided to...

Dude, you look amazing! Seriously, doesn't even look like the same person! Congrats to you and your transformation. I'm sure you've got the ladies lined up :o)

Hi Guys - Just wanted to give you an update on the procedure - well the day before stuff. My doctor wouldn't budge on drinking the 64oz of pleasantness; just told me to start an hour earlier than...

I just heard back from my Dr and she said no bueno on anything else. She said to start the prep drink earlier so I have time to get it all down. �� Now you have me scared out of my mind. This should...

Oh awesome! Thank you. I haven't been on the site in awhile and didn't see that.

Hello All - Has anyone had to do a colonoscopy since getting sleeved? I am scheduled for one 4/13 and was wondering how in the world I will be able to drink 32oz of liquid at one time? I have...

I'm still not thrilled with how my thighs look. Before procedure I had cellulite and I still have that. The PS said he would do some lipo on the inside of my thigh near my knees and I still have...

The thigh lift was definitely the most painful and this was only because part of my incision started to open (which can happen often). Would I do it all again? Of course! Plastic surgery isn't for...

The tummy tuck was a BREEZE! I had an extended thigh lift, I can't remember what they call the one on the inside of your leg, but that's the one I had. I did have some wound closure issues, where...

OMG, hilarious that you would notice that. Now I need to go and take a closer look. LMBO!

Congrats on your anniversary! You can do it!

Howdy everyone! Today is my 2 year anniversary and still enjoying my new way of life. The past six months have been crazy, as some of you know, in November I had a tummy tuck and thigh lift and...

Thighs are doing ok. Scarring has really diminished. I do wish the PS would have taken more skin though. I just had my arm lift on the 19th of April and they are TIGHT! I wish my thighs could...

Hi Shirl, I do have scars, but they have faded a LOT! I used some scar cream the PS gave me and then also bought some from CVS. I have always healed really well, and expect the scars to fade even...

I do not have any regrets with the tummy tuck. I love my new flat tummy. He removed a total of 4.5 pounds of skin, but that included my thighs too as I had them both done at the same time. You...

I guess it could be, but you would think a roller coaster ride would raise it :) I know my heart was beating like crazy.

Well crap, that's what I was afraid of - old age :( This just makes me realize how many years were wasted being overweight and not being able to enjoy things like this. I think next time, I'm...

So, I was at Busch Gardens on Friday and was so excited to not have to worry about taking a walk of shame because I wouldn't be able to fit into any rides. Hopped on the first roller coaster and I...

I agree with weighing your self daily. I have my danger zone weight and if I get to that, then I really watch the carbs until I go back down. Right now, that number is 136. I've been maintaining...

Hi Sandra, I have stopped wearing my compression garment after my 6 week checkup because it was just too much to take on and off. It stopped above my knees and I don't think it was that tight...
