Years ago, one of my 4th graders spent months in a burn unit because he needed skin graphs. Now we use skin from WLS. Edited May 4, 2017 by fonfereksglen Link to comment

Especially post-first-skin-op. That turkey waddle isn't doing her any favours. Hope they can do a little neck left there to fix that. Rooting for her though. She was one of the "good ones" -as already mentioned- worked really hard and didn't whine or complain just did it. Liked her family too. Love that dad is her workout partner! Finally, supportive family! 5 Link to comment
hoosiermom May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Always thought I was lucky to have C-sections. Never had one labor pain. Now I just have kidney stones. Blech 3 Link to comment

LookABird May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Is there some sort of AA meeting place for those of us who watch My 600 Pound Life and My Big Fat . . .? I won't know what to do without everyone until the next season! :) 14 Link to comment
DC Gal in VA May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 I had abdominal surgery eons ago--nasty intestinal blockage--and the recovery pain was awful. You really don't know or understand how much you use your abdominal muscles for EVERYTHING! 12 Link to comment

Threnners May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 UUGGGH now I know why the disclaimer. Also I just realized I've lost 10 more lbs than they took off in her stomach. Seeing the bulk of it en masse is pretty surreal. 1 Link to comment

ThinkerBell May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Nikki has great personal style and seems to really like vintage and vintage inspired. I love her glasses. Hope she's over the worst in terms of her recovery. 8 Link to comment

Armchair Critic May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Nikki is a testament to makeup changing your looks (no shade here, I too look way better with makeup on). Her mom looks like her weight is creeping up while Nikki's is going down. 5 Link to comment

DC Gal in VA May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 (edited) All of the totally unsuccessful -- you know, the ones that didn't even try -- M600PLifers need to be forced to watch Nikki's episode over and over and over again, with additional voiceovers by Dr. Now. "You're delusional," "You have 800 pound of food in you!" and "The scale doesn't lie." Edited May 4, 2017 by DC Gal in VA 7 Link to comment

Armchair Critic May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Speaking of watching shows nobody else watches, I was looking into that documentary 'Mommy Dead and Dearest" that is going to be on HBO where the mother had munchausen by proxy and told everyone here daughter was crippled, had cancer, etc. and the girl was actually totally healthy. Long story short, sometimes I worry that if somebody looks at what I Google they will really think I have issues. ;) 4 Link to comment

I think it was because of the size of her incisions. She seemed like she had more excess skin to remove, and gravity was going to be more of an issue for her, and her sutures were more likely to open up. 2 Link to comment
