thank you so much for your honesty and willingness to share. I'm having plastic surgery at the end of this year sometime in Nov. 2011 after my VSG which I am 10 weeks post op currently. I agree with you, Yes I love this community as well and you LOOK MARVELOUS!
@pampered65 Thank you! Congrats on your VSG!! Be sure to get to goal before looking into surgery, so u can get the most of it. It's another journey all in itself!! lol ~viki
wow good for you! you look great, that is definatley my goal is to have a flat stomach!!! :) glad that you reached it i am 11 weeks post op! good luck to u
@didibailey Good to hear from you Didi! I'm so sorry you're hurting!! The first couple of weeks are the worst. Rest, rest, rest. Hope you feel better soon!!!
Wow you look amazing! Thank you so much for the update and showing...It is something that I have been thinking on, and it helps to see others go through it. Thanks!
@kelshaleanne Thank you Kelsha! I hope my videos help. That's what this wonderful community is for :) Please let me know if you have any questions on the surgery. Hope you're feeling better!
look great girl! hope the drainage and opening get better with the new antibiotic, i would totally be freakin if i had an infection. being septic did me in LOL the belly button looks GREAT!!! glad u finally got your jeans u had wanted, i need to go shopping soon, just im broke at the moment GRR! another week and ill be good tho LOL. hope u have a great christmas. c ya soon! much love to u!
@angie2sm Thank u so much Angie! I'm sure the infection will clear up soon. It's really not that bad. lol But, of course I would be so much happier without it! LOL have a great christmas to you and your family!!!
@saphre1964 Thanks Nicole! Dr. Katzen didn't say what kind of bacteria it is but it could be pseudomonas or so many other things. The only way to know is to take a culture, We're gonna try this antibiotic and hopefully it does the trick. Fingers crossed. The discharge seems to be less so hopefully it's working :) Happy Holidays!!!
You look fantastic. I really appreciate your videos, just laying it all out there, letting us know the ups and downs with it. I've always said that I'm definitely going to do plastics, but now I think I'll just wait and see. It's no walk in the park, and thanks to you, I know that now. Have fun at work on Mon! :)
@CtheSunshine Don't let my videos deter u from plastics. Everyone's experience is diff. :) I think if I had done the procedures in stages instead of all at once, I would have had minimal pain. The outcome will be worth it in the end for sure!!! Happy HOlidays!!
your surgery looked so painful and i give you props for doing it..i am so scared to have it done and i dont think that i ever will.. lol,,, you look fantastic!!!
@cancerfree200 It was painful in the beginning for sure but now there is very minimal pain. It was really only the first 2 weeks that was truly hard. BUT, everyone goes through things diff and it may have been a walk in the park for someone else....lol My advise is do it in stages and not all at once if possible. I think that will minimize the pain. Thanks again!!!
Girl You look Fab. you have and hr. glass figure Woo Hoo from 315lbs OMG you give me so much Hope sweetie i am so Happy for you sending Big Hugs love connie xoxo
@QuiltingConnieB Thank u ms Connie!!! U can do this too!! I have complete faith in ur journey and how happy and successfull u will be!! Hugs my friend! Happy Holidays!!
The sleeves are used to treat lymphedema aka localized fluid retention...lots of wome need them after having breast cancer surgery. The 20 -30 is mmHG aka millimeters of mercury...the same measurement is used when assessing blood pressure. I think your tummy looks great this week...the skin has relaxed some and the incision is more straight than it had been. Keep doing what you're doing cause you look terrific. Hugs and thx for the shout out :)
@girlie720 See I love that ur so knowledgeable in all this medical stuff!! U know I really didn't even notice but you're right, the incision did even out a bit...lol woohoo...lol Thanks for everything! Happy Holidays!!
Wow you look amazing, I can't wait to get started, I have a long way to go, but these video's really really help me! Thanks for sharing!!

Really - the jeans are not going to fit you after a few more months. You will be surprised how much more you're going to get smaller.

@MyBandedLife Oh no!! I guess the trade off will be a smaller size? I guess I can't complain then....lol
