Oh dear, you are too hard on yourself. Your tummy just went through major reconstruction, it needs to heal. First off, every one is different, some say they eat cheesburgers and others can't hold...
Hi all, I was sleeved on 9/24/2014 and was great for 5 years. This past year has been hell. Besides dealing with family passing away (not COVID), falling, breaking my femur and getting a new hip,...
I'm Janice and had my surgery on 9/24/2014. For 5 years I was doing great and then my Mom passed away. This derailed me for a while, but I got back on track and maintained my goal weight of 160. I...
Hi Tim Man, I'm a veteran also. After 6 years post op I also find myself having to reset my sleeve.
In July, I fell, broke my femur and ended up in trauma with a repaired femur and a new hip....
My question is, are you near your goal, how much did you need to lose?? Sometimes our bodies know where they need to be. I'm sure you'll get lots of responses.
Wow, is that the same person. I totally get it. My own extended family didn't recognize me. You look awesome, vibrant and youthful. I bet you feel 20 years younger too!!
Your boss needs to speak with bariatric surgeons before making such a blanket statement. Yes I know people that have regrets, but I know many more that are ridiculously happy. I would not go back...
Are you at your goal weight or over it. For many of us we lost more than our goal weight. I went 15 pounds under my goal and everyone thought I looked too skinny. I loved it though!! After 4...
Those pictures look terrible compared to what I really look like. My arms look fantastic and I have no bra bulge left. I can only imagine in 6 months once all the swelling stops.
Compression garments must be worn for 4 to 6 weeks. After week 2, I was instructed to do arm exercises by raising my arms to the front and then to the sides. Like a spider walking up the wall. It...
Today I posted about my arm lift surgery that I had on Dec 21. If anyone is interested it is in that forum. I wasn't sure if I would post this or not, but decided to pay me experience forward, as I...
After my tummy tuck was denied twice by insurance, I realized that the body part that bothered me the most was my arms. At the gym I couldn't stand watching that skin swing back and forth like it...
You look amazing!! Now I really want one.
Hi Pam, I am glad I read this thread. I have been denied twice and did have lots of documentation from my Surgeon, Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon (sho is accredited) and my primary care...
Stacy, I would definitely recommend taking any support that is available. That is why you see people on this forum that are several years out.
I have had the same insurance for over 20 years and...
You are really being very hard on yourself. My goodness, you are only 5 weeks out. At 5 weeks out I was not too worried about anything other than trying to eat something, anything. Protein was...
Sept 24 will always be one of the most important days in my life. Its the day I had my surgery and started a new life. My surgical nurse said "Happy birthday" to me when I woke up in recovery, and...
Happy Birthday to you!! You have the gift of a great life with lots of fun things to look forward to. Most of us do this major surgery to get healthy, never realizing how much fun it will be. ...
Wow, that is so impressive!! What an awesome story you have to tell. Hope you have a successful and fun run. Isn't it amazing that we are doing more now(I'm almost 62) than when we were younger. ...

When I do track, I track everything. On a mental track, I just worry about protein and keeping carbs down. I don't worry about fats or sodium. I am in the best health of my life so I must be doing...
I am 3 years post op and for the first two years I did track on the Fitness App. they make it really easy by having a very large data base of food by brand names, restaurants. The reason I started...
