Upper Body work is done
My RNY was 3/8/08 I weight 454 the morning of surgery. 15 months later in June 09 I had a tummy tuck and my arms done. I was down 200 or so at that point. Many said don't do it to wait but I needed the skin removed it was causing me problems. I was self-pay and still am today. Then in March 10 I had a breast lift no implants. I no longer weigh myself daily but the Sunday prior to my recent surgery I weight 267 then this past Sunday it was 262. I won't weigh again until Sunday. I regained about 50 lbs from my lowest weight. So right now I'mmaintaining a 200 lbslost since the beginning of my journey. No I did not have lipo as it doesn't remove skin and that's my main problem (flapping skin).
Hats off to you. I thought I was brave doing two procedures at once but you had three. My swelling was normal and has begun to go down now. I'm wearing the binder for about two more weeks for a total of four weeks. The only problem I'm having is turning my body side ways never imagined this would be a problem. Since we're surgery buddies let's do our thighs together? I'm afraid of that surgery for some reason
I'm terrified of the thighs.. I actually had aggressive lipo on my thighs this last round and man that has been the worst part of this whole surgery. They took about 6lbs out of each thigh and man the lipo was bad. I am just now starting to walk by myself. My legs just hurt and give out on me. My surgeon told me that yes lipo is sometimes worse than being cut. So with that beng said I am really thinking hard about the thighs. Before the lipo I was planning on having my thighs done in novembar that way I would be ready for the summer.
