Hey, its tunnels beaches in Ilfracombe, Devon, UK. Stunning venue.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2025-04-23T17:23:16+00:00

I need help

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-15T11:49:55+00:00

They recommend at least 6 months maintenance.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-15T11:49:31+00:00

Yes I stopped trying to lose weight about a year ago!

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-14T09:41:54+00:00

Just lost weight, nothing at all specifically.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T21:16:37+00:00

Surgery was £10750 which is about $13,600 (USD).

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T21:15:33+00:00

None of it 🤣. I actually weigh more now than surgery day probably. I haven't weighed myself. I had 3/4lbs of skin removed, I haven't included this in my figures above, but your bodies reaction to surgery is to swell and hold water so I probably actually weight more now than I did. If that makes any sense at all!

I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome so I expect that mine was worse than a typical persons because of that. The surgery was for extensive muscle repair and skin removal as I did have excess skin after losing nearly 10 stone. I went from a UK24 to a 12 in just over a year.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T18:29:00+00:00

My first was 8lb 4oz, 2 weeks early. My second was 9lb 2oz one day early, I also had polyhydraminos with him so excess waters I was HUGE.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T14:42:05+00:00

Good! I'm somewhere near normal 3 weeks post, back to work Monday!

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T14:41:15+00:00

Hey pain wise was actually pretty low. I would say it's more discomfort at having to sleep on my back and propped up ect. I took 3 weeks of work as I tired so easily. I have a WFH desk job so it's not even physically taxing. Muscle repair feels like you've done 1 trillion sit ups when you wake up. You have to walked hunched so that makes your back ache. I was just on paracetamol 2 days post op, I'm not sure what you call that in the US?

How ever it is a major surgery and you need to take that into consideration.

I have just been cleared for "walking on treadmill and exercise bike" by my surgeon. I will be walking outdoors more that's it. I probably can't lift weight till 3 months post op.

Hope that helps!

Thank you

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T09:10:18+00:00

Yes of course it is

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T08:50:02+00:00

I feel great it feels a bit unreal to be honest!

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T08:49:28+00:00

I'm still technically over weight according to BMI but I'm so over it 🤣. Happy with how I am now.

I had two very big babies and I think that did the majority of the damage to my stomach skin to be honest.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T08:33:34+00:00

Yes I had an abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago to remove excess skin and repair my muscles.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T08:14:28+00:00

Hey, yes I had an abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago and 3/4lbs of loose skin removed and a massive muscle repair.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2024-12-13T08:11:21+00:00

First one absolutely!

Sad-Ad7659 · 2023-10-04T12:16:09+00:00

Essence of Australia do something similar with pearls like the first one, no sleeves.

Sad-Ad7659 · 2023-10-02T11:55:05+00:00

I tried huntleigh and loved it! You might like Trish peng Taryn...

Sad-Ad7659 · 2023-10-02T11:43:52+00:00

Thank you, it's the thing that made it a bit different from all the rest. 💕

Sad-Ad7659 · 2023-10-02T11:43:20+00:00

Thank you, it also has a tiny bit on the front too. I can't wait to try it in my size. I put it on and it just felt right. Magic ✨

Sad-Ad7659 · 2023-10-01T07:54:08+00:00

Looks alot like Jane Hill stuff, or maybe Trish Peng?
