I had a Revision Sleeve to Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y bypass with intraoperative EGD, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hiatal hernia repair and my gallbladder removed in one day.
I'm doing great a year and a month out from the surgery. I'm down about 90 pounds from surgery. I'm currently at 287.4 pounds. When I had my follow up with the surgeon, he told me when I get down to 250 pounds, he would recommend me a plastic surgeon for the loss fat and skin. I'm looking forward to getting down to 250 pounds so I can be/feel normal in life.
Has anyone/someone gone through this too like I have without any complications from surgery imon post-op leading out up to 13 months out?

Is there a brand that you recommend ? We tried some and they didn't help. They both just get so wound up around each other. Percy had one of her claws on his head and Tange had a bleeding poke on her ear. We're just really worried about it.

It got delivered to my work address 30 minutes ago. The thing is so wild. I just did it for 10 minutes. My calves actually don't feel crampy. Now to see if it helps firm things a little bit.
Yup she's been at CVS corporate in the mail room for over 20 years. She says it keeps her going.
Right? I can only hope I look as good as she does at 80. And she had 5 kids.
