LoveAfterWLS - I am struggling with the same issues right now. unfortunately I have sagginess everywhere. it is making dating a challenge. I've only tried to be intimate once since my surgery and it didn't go well. I need a second job so I can plan for plastics next year. my boobs are flat, my butt is saggy, my thighs and calves are just plain ugly. in my clothes I look fantastic thanks to compression garments, but I'm embarrassed to take my clothes off. I didn't think it would be this bad.

I my face looks 10 years younger, I'm often hit on by the 40 something's and I'm 54. however I'm starting to develop the turkey neck which betrays me. Also I believe that the majority of my weight loss was a loss of muscle mass. in my clothes, with the help of compression garments, I look fantastic, but I have absolutely no muscle tone. no matter how much I exercise, how much weight lifting I do, or how many protein drinks I consume (I still drink one daily a year post-op) I cannot develop any muscle. everything just sags, especially my boobs and butt. I used to have a great butt, but now they're like empty bags. I wasn't mentally prepared for this and am having a hard time with it. anybody else dealing with this? suggestions?

I'm in Clinton
