Hello again
WORTH IT$14,400
So over the past few months, about 10 lbs has crept back on.... I felt like there was nothing I could do to get it off. I was cleared for exercise in January, and have been pretty diligent about it. I started doing some research on meds my pcp had me on to help prevent migraines, and one major side effect was wight gain! I stopped it and it has felt like the weight has melted off. So I am starting to feel worth it all again!
Hope you all are doing great! I will post updates whenever I get back to dr again.

Omg.
So I have HUGE swelling in pubis, and dr says seromas are more of a nuisance than actual complication. I am feeling very discouraged at the moment.

HOW ARE YOU now? I am debating on having a 360 degree surgery. I lost 160 pounds I had weight loss surgery in May 2015. I want to have the horrible "apron" taken off, but your pictures scare me! Are you OK? Did that swelling go down? Thanks for sharing this for chickens like me. I just hate the hanging skin, my upper thighs, pubic area and stomach..omg my stomach..looks like another person on it's own. Please let me know.

So the welling apparently takes from 6 months to a year to go down, and I am 3 months out. I keep forgetting that 3 months is not that long considering what all had to be done. That being said, I am still so glad I did it. I can buy clothes that just fit when I put them on, especially shirts. I feel so much more confident. When I run, there is no flap! Do it.

thank you I am so scared of surgery..it took a lot for me to have the weight loss surgery to begin with. Thanks for getting back to me and you look fantastic. Thanks for being an inspiration to me, I will keep you posted!

Oh wow lady, sorry to hear that. I've been complaining about "coo coo" but there's no concern. I'm sorry you are going through this. It looks heavy, does it hurt at all? Besides that, how are you feeling overall? stiffness, aches....Keep us updated on your condition. again, sorry you are going through it. Doesn't sound serious so be a little patient and everything will be fine.

My Dr called me yesterday and talked me off my ledge....She wants me to try a diuretic for a short time, and change the type of compression garment, so the one area is compressed.... It is the easiest place for fluid to collect, as it is basically the lowest part of the cuts....I feel much better having talked to her...

Have they drained off any of the seroma areas? I have had that done twice. I noticed a bulge in my lower abdomen (above incision line) but didn't think anything of it. They ultrasounded it I had a large fluid collection. Like 30cc they drained off. The second time was a small amount but they mentioned it could lead to an infection if left. I'm glad you're doing well!!

I'm sorry about the (hopefully temporary) swelling, but really you look amazing! Wow!

Mine looks very similar. I'm 9 weeks post op today. It's the one area that is flatish in the am and then poofs up by the end of the day and some days I question if it'll ever go away. I know it will but it's hard when it's that one spot that was hated for so long and it's still there.

Sorry for the delay. These are the B/A from my dr. I have huge swelling in the pubic area still which I hate, but the rest looks pretty good.
Hope all are well!

I have the same swelling in my pubic region. Dr peters said I probably won't see that fully down until 9 mo the post op. But at 7 weeeks post op if that's my i my "issue" so far I'll take it. You look great!

I know, she said the same to me. Other than that, I feel pretty good. Glad to hear you are doing well!

Hi!! I have been following your story, and I am so hopeful that I will have awesome results like you! I am 5'8 , had weight loss surgery in 2012. I was 335 pds before surgery and one year after I was down to 199. Buttttt I tagged on 48#s. I have been working my tail off to get as much as that weight off , I now weigh 235. I have had 1 consult with a ps , and next Tues I have another consult with a different dr. I would like to get a tummy tuck, lipo, and a breast lift/aug. Following you and others has given me so much hope that I'll finally feel right in my own body!! I just need to get the last of this weight off!
