100 Pounds Down: A Retrospective

TW: weight loss, surgery, specific numbers

STATS:

F/24/5'5" [273 > 173 = 100 lbs]

How I Did It:

I had bariatric surgery on 12/20/2024. I had a surgery called the SADI.

The Good

The majority of health issues I had as a result of my obesity have reversed. The insulin resistance I've had since I was a preteen - gone. Sleep apnea - gone. My triglycerides went from 280 to 131. My HDL (bad cholesterol) went from 151 (HIGH) to 56.

My ease of movement is so. Much. Easier. I can walk for miles without being phased. No pain in my calves/ankles/etc. I can walk up an inclined sidewalk without even noticing. I went for a run the other day. FOR FUN.

Clothes are of course much easier to find. I love to thrift, but before I almost never found anything worth buying in my size. Now I find stuff almost every time. I love fashion so I'm enjoying this a lot.

The Meh (Not So Bad, Not So Good)

I have a TON of clothes to get rid of. I find clothing selling very tedious and Plato's Closet won't take any of of my stuff

I get more male attention. This would be a plus, but I have a boyfriend, and I've never had to deal with it before, so I just feel awkward. Like I went to the club for my birthday and this man would NOT stop trying to grind on me!!!

The Bad

I have iron deficiency without anemia. It really sucks. However I did have this before I got surgery. It's just harder to correct since my surgery makes it harder to absorb iron. I'm getting an iron infusion next Wednesday tho!!!

My LDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) is a little low.

Loose skin. It drives me crazy. Makes exercising especially hard.

I no longer absorb enough birth control for it to stop my periods, and instead I get a period like every 2 weeks. This is hard because I have heavy periods which make my iron deficiency worse. I also have PMDD and BC basically stopped it. So now I have to seek out an alternative and it's annoying/scary.

In general, it makes medications harder to deal with because I don't absorb them completely, but there isn't a ton of research into exactly how this works. As someone was disabled before finding the right medication, this is very scary. I feel like this risk was not adequately communicated to me pre-surgery.

The Ugly

I've gotten a little too obsessed with my body lately. I've been weighing myself a LOT, body checking constantly, feeling super insecure... my body occupies my thoughts the majority of the time.

Overall

I don't regret getting bariatric surgery, but I do have a lot of work to do still before I can consider myself healthy, both physically and mentally.

9 years later after RNY surgery

Good morning beautiful people!!  I want to discuss a subject that’s really close to my heart.  I lost my father at the age of 9 years old.  He was killed my a drunk driver that didn’t want to damage his car so he hit my father on his motorcycle.  He died at the scene on the way to work. He made my mother a widow at the age of 29 years old.  He had just turned 30 two weeks before.   The reason I…

Weight loss to obtain your ideal weight is a healthy choice. Whether from changes in diet and exercise or after Weight Loss Surgery(Bariatric Surgery), studies have shown you’ll enjoy a longer life with fewer medical problems.

For those who were morbidly obese before weight loss, excess skin is often an undesired side effect. Loose, flabby skin around the middle, the arms, the neck, the thighs and deflated breasts are often the byproduct of successful weight loss. But if this is an issue for you, there are procedures designed to help. Today we are starting at the top with Face and Neck Lifts

Skin Tightening From the Top

Any area of the body that shrinks can be a problem area. Here are a list of the most common procedures I perform for my weight loss patients listed anatomically from the top to the bottom of the body:

Facelift or Neck Lift Arm Lift Breast Lift (with or without breast implants) Tummy Tuck Back Lift (often as part of a Lower Body Lift) Thigh Lift

Facelifts After Weight Loss

We often think of loose body skin after weight loss, but the face and neck can sag too. Today we are looking at the role of the face and neck lift for patients who lose a lot of weight.
