I can eat a whole lot more than I did in the begining but a cup is about all. I do go out to eat but I have to watch and I get sick still on sweets. I have gained back some weight but the dr says it is normal and that I can maintain it now. I need to exersise more but I have a bad back and cannot move very well right now.

I am 51 and going for an inner thigh lift consult next week ( 3 years 130+ pounds off) How did your inner thigh go? Have you given any thought to inner arms, I have thought about it, but dont believe I will do it. I have read so much about "puckering" on the underarms.. My abdominoplasty was painful, my breast lift didnt hurt at all.

I had all my problems post op in the first 3 months. I had a lap RNY and found my bed soaked with blood when I woke up 8 hours post op. Back into surgery I went to repair a bleeder. Then 5 days later I was back in the hospital with a raging infection in my blood. I had to be opened up and cleaned out and given IV antibiotics. So within 5 days I had 3 major surgeries. Since I was 48, I didnt bounce back as fast as a younger person might have. I then had diahhrea and c-difficle that took 3 months to clear up. So I was off work 3 months. Since then I have had NO problems. I had abdominoplasty, breast lift. Lasik eye surgery and have a consult for inner thigh plastic surgery next week. I have lost 130+ pounds, now weighing 131 @ 5ft 6. I still do throw up on occasion if I overeat.

I am also 3 years post op. I had abdominoplasty 2 months ago and a boob lift. im 5 3 and never lost all my goal. I weight 151 and have found that ive only lost my weight real slowly but it never goes up more than a couple of pounds. Ive never had problems throwing up since the first year. My hair grew back that I lost and am in pretty good shape otherwise. Congratulations on your progress though. I have never regretted this surgery. I got a divorce last year. My ex also had this surgery and my son and daughter. They are all doing good also. Bye Rita Parris, Alabama

I would love to hear from someone who had the surgery the same month as I did. I'd like to know how you are doing? 1. I did reach below goal. I dropped to 119 and now up to 130 which at 5ft 6 is good for me. 2. I did have an abdominoplasty & boob lift and they turned out quite well. ( I PLAN to have an inner thigh job in October) PS> my ins. did NOT pay for that. 3. I still throw up at least once a week, I suspect I have a hital hernia as I generally throw up as SOON as I lay down if I have just eaten. I lost hair but it grew back for the most part. I only take vitamins, no B12 injections needed.
