Intro pics, LBL before and afters

January 7, 2004

Not on here too often, but think I will change that!! I am 14 months

post-op from Open RNY. Weight went from a high of at least 300 but

at the time of WLS 255 down to 129 before I had my LBL on 12-9-

03...just 4 weeks ago! I am loving the results from my WLS, never

had any problems.... " KNOCK ON WOOD " !! 4 weeks ago had a Belt

Lipectomy or LBL to remove about 8 pounds of skin from the torso

region. Still have lots of swelling, all drains are

gone...YIPPEE...but can't believe what a difference it's made. I

went from 129 and a size 10, to 121 and a size 4 !!!!! I live in

Washington, IA and I'm married with 4 kids. 35 years old and was

heavy most of my life with the exception of about 5 years. I take

protein shakes, folic acid, b-12, vita. C, multi vita, calcium, and

iron daily. I eat just about what I want, just smaller portions, and

do try to eat protein first.....carbs are a hard one for me to

resist, but still try to keep it to a minimal. Well, any questions

just ask and feel free to view the " nudies " of me under Carol V.

Congrats on your success. I am anxious to here more about how the

the procedure went with the belt lipectomy. I am scheduled to have

it done on April 15th with Dr Cram & Dr Aly. I am excited and

nervous all at the same time. How long after the procedure were you

able to drive? How often did you have to go back to Iowa City?

Thanks!
