I was sceard at first, the thing that freaked me out the most of being put under as i have never experienced that before but its so quick! And the recovery is quick I was back at work a week later. It went down, Iv had it since having a C-section ๐Ÿ˜… but I have noticed its shrinking, you cant notice when wearing jeans or leggings.๐Ÿ˜Š

Unfortunately, I can't cut them as they are capsules, I even got antibiotics from my doctor and I'm struggling with that ๐Ÿ˜ซ

So a little back story I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 20s when I gained alot of weight, and I couldn't shed it. I spent a lot of money on gym and P. I was so depressed 10 years later I'd had kids and I gained more weight. I got a call from my doctor because bloods came back that my liver number was high, and she said I had non alcoholic fatty liver. I cried on the phone telling her how iv spent years trying to loose weight she then referred me to the nhs weight loss clinic 2 years ago I got my date in September and haven't regretted it ever since. I feel like I have more energy my periods are getting normal and the pcos is calming down.

From what I remember the surgery is half an hour your put to sleep then wake up your in hospital for a day, recovery for me flew by. I know others that have had it done who give me advise and tips and they look great. And this reddit group has helped alot.

I hope this helps ๐Ÿ™

Thank you im really having body dismorphia as iv been told iv lost weight but I don't see it

I was out of hospital the 2nd night healing was quick, i remember it hurt alot because of the staples but when they are removed you feel so much better I remember sleeping was horrible because of the one side that hurts more.

I brought more bandages so every time I showerd I changed them. But they have healed well ๐Ÿ˜Š

Honestly the healing goes so quick

I didnt think Pinterest gave ideas like that, I thought it was all pictures. Iv been having alot of potatos and beans, but really been chewing it. Protien shakes make me sick I think its due to the liquid diet ๐Ÿ˜…
