but i am a little afraid of skin removal what are the complication rate and what are the most common compliications? I know the most common complication for WLS is a stricture & I got that but its fixed now thank god
I guess I don't know much about the complications.......I need to read up on it. But I do hear a lot about the pain of it. I keep hoping my roll will firm out some more......some long termers say it will go away some with time. I think mine has decreased a bit the past few months. I used to spend so much time trying to get dressed to go anywhere......I'd be throwing clothes around...all over that stupid roll. Now it's not quite so bad as long as my pants aren't snug. It just really plays into me not seeing my true size. I feel chubby most times and the past few days actually feel fat again. But yet, I do feel bones....I joke with my BF like, hey look.....I got some new bones. Now my friend who had it a week before me can see herself without feeling fat. In fact, sometimes I think she sees herself even thinner than she actually is. Oh what a head case I am.
