Yes unfortunately. And I have gone for a plastics quote. It would be done in 2 parts. First ($14k) would be the Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation with mastopexy (implants and lift). The second surgery (also $14k) would by my arm and thigh lift.
I look great in clothes. In fact I've been told on several occasions by various men and women (some friends or acquaintances but more by complete strangers) that I am smoking hot. Does wonders for the ego but deep down I think: Yeah ok. You haven't seen my flying squirrel impression. Lol.
It is what it is. I will take the skin over the obesity any day. Don't worry though. To the right person it's not going to matter. They will see the effort behind your actions. Not the skin. *HUGS*

It's hit my 6th month mark, doing well, down 87 pounds. Getting a little board with my food...not that I eat a lot! Any suggestions for Snacks?

I

I use flector Patches every day. They are perfectly safe. It's topical. Hope this helps!

Thank you! 30 lbs more and I will be in the 100's!

Just wanted to share that I hit a huge milestone today! Had surgery on 1/14 and as of today I lost 60 lbs. I have not seen this weight since I got married 16 years ago! I love my sleeve!

It has been some time since my surgery and weight loss has slowed down. I am eating regular food. I hate taking the vitimins. But today , is more motovation!!! Thank you for your support!!

47 lbs down. I stick to 400-700 calories, exercise 5 days a week. I eat lots of tuna, cottage cheese, Beans. It's getting a little boring, but working! I am trying to switch to Protein Bars, hate the shakes! Haven't tried any carbs yet, afraid I might like it too much!

I was sleeved on 1/14, down 46 pounds and I feel great. The beginning was very hard, but it does get better. Take tiny sips and stop when you feel full. You will be able to get more in each day. I am up to about 45-48 oz of liquid a day and my doctor said that's great. Use a heating pad, it works! Good luck! You'll do fine!
