I started at 324lbs and a size 26. After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011. My second daughter was born in September 2013. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs. I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter. The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls. My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

I am going to ask them to take my skin, I was told by my family doc that the adhesion's were bad enough that everything is attached to everything. So in my opinion, if its all involved then take it all, why risk more damage right?
The incision is going to be bikini, from side to side, I already have one from previous csections and a partial hysterectomy.
Thanks for the comment, and I really am trying to stay positive! I appreciate the comments, even if I dont seem like it!
Im feeling a little better today, just worried, and so scared..
I go back in to schedule it all on March 9th. From what I understand it could be a month or so before all the docs who need to be there can clear their schedule. Plus, I work, and have school and a family so I need to work my schedule around it.
Thank you so much for understanding, and hope you are doing good too!!
I honestly don't know whats next. I spent some time with me regular doctor today and she is even unsure as to what will happen next. She did say that there will need to be at least 3 surgeons in the room, and they will have to coordinate it to be able to fix me.
The adhesion's were so bad that my bowel and bladder and tummy and fat and everything is basically caught up in a "web" is how the doc referred to it. And even tho they remove it, it always comes back.
As I have lost weight and my skin has started to hang I feel the adhesion's tearing, this is also and issue for the doc, she does not want me to have to suffer anymore.
I am Lisa and I have not had my surgery just yet. Hoping to have it Soon one last Nut appointment and then we go for approval!!
I do know the answer to this one my Nut said that when you start to lose the weight because of the amount of fats and sugars is limited your breath will start to smell,
I am on a low carb, sugar free (under 5gms) per item for a month now and that was one of my questions. She said to try a sugar free mint to suck on. I have them now in my purse all the time so that may help. She did say it will go away.
Best of Luck and you are doing great!
You have PCOS... don't let it have you!
JC- how do you know you had bad adhesions?
