Topic: RE: Nip it in the bud

Just wondering how you are doing Laura?

We are human and are not perfect, but the important part I think, when we eat off our plan, that we just get right back on track the next time we eat. The old me would throw in the towel and keep eating poorly ( for days or weeks). Now I am really focusing on, ok this is what I did and now its back to basics.

Try to figure ok why I made a poor choice and how to prevent it again.

Topic: RE: Brrr! It's cold in here!

I have been cold since surgery.  On my third day home I ordered a twin size electric blanket.  I keep it folded up on the edge of the couch so I have it when I sit down, besides surgery its the best money I have spent on myself, lol.  if I am up and moving I  am fine but sit down to watch a show and I am freezing! My hubby also bought me a foot heater for the bed. it is like a electric blanket but you place it under the mattress pad and it is only about 3'x2'.  the blankets keep me warm enough on top but my feet were freezing, no I do not have any circulatory disease either. I have a small ceramic heater under my desk at work too.

Topic: RE: Skin Removal for Lap Band grad with high BMI

Chris is talking about me. I first went for a tummy tuck and arm lift. My tummy skin was causing me chronic back issues. He removed it and did my arms. I had lost 200 lbs at that point but still weighed 281. I lost another 80 lbs and returned for my revision and lbl and face and thighs. I am returning again for 5 more procedures to make a total of 14 procedures and a loss of over 340 lbs. 

dr Sauceda is the best! 

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.

You can send pics - front, side, back, side to [email protected] and ask him for a quote and if he has a problem.  I know one of his other patients has been in his OR 3x as she has lost weight and was about your weight.  Even though she knew she'd need revisions later as she lost more weight, some of the skin had to be removed.  I'll send her a PM to contact you and you can see some of her pics.

Topic: RE: How long till my face doesn't look saggy?

When I did my consult for PS, I asked about my neck, the puffy under eyes, and my PS said a facelift.  I was almost 59, it was the best thing that I did.  My eyes opened up, no more turkey neck and I look so much younger.  I do love having perky breasts again and no hanging panni.

Topic: RE: I have gained 40 lbs back. I am 6 months away from being 10 years out from RNY!!

This post is giving me a lot of hope and determination to get myself back on track.  I'm 5 1/2 years out and gained back 35 lbs.  my VIT D is very low and was diagnosed with severe anemia last month. Saw my endocrinologist today and got a good scolding for not following up with him and only seeing my PCP. 

Now he is sending me back to my surgeon to get back on track and find out what is causing the low iron.

I have all these cute clothes and I'm so mad that they are all so tight now and that I am feeling so tired all the time.  Michelle I would love to be part of support friendship group with you.  I live in Ohio and have no family near me... in fact they live in Mesa, where I used to live 10 years ago. 

I too should have stayed on this site and stayed on track.
