I have wanted this for well over 10 years. I had a RNY gastric bypass in July 2002. My beginning weight was 262 pounds. I have lost 130 (or so) pounds since then and kept it off. In the meantime, I had two more children, which kept me from having a body lift. After two more kids, I REALLY needed some help.

I hope I'm happy enough after the lbl. I see these pictures and I am scared I'll want to do my thighs and everything else. My tummy and butt aren't my only problem. Hopefully I'm happy enough with just this. My arms bother me quite a bit too. Anyway here's some before pics.

That's what happened to me. I wanted a tummy tuck, then started to think of things like, having a super flat stomach and the rest of me floppy... I decided to get my arms done and legs done also..

Counting down so excited for you. I'm a 14 year post gastric by-pass down 125 lbs. I had my LBL with auto aug on 6/16 and am now starting the healing process. I'll be watching for your updates and will be sending positive vibes your way.

A little scare

Had my pre-op a couple days ago. Everything was fine except my hemoglobin. It was a 9 and 12 is where it needs to be. I called my surgeons office in a panic thinking they may cancel surgery. They said it was ok though. Gastric bypass patients struggle with iron levels. I was just advised to double my iron intake and everything will go as planned. Whew!

Good luck, and be sure to keep us posted with your progress. I am interested in LBL, but am doing my arms first because I have no children.

I had gastric bypass also and found these iron capsules at Fred Meyer ( I am also anemic). My levels are usually around 8-9 but, I started takin these once a day and mine has been steady at 13.9. It also has vitamins b12, and c!
