What a weird person.
I would SO report her ass to H.R. IMHO, that's harassment in the workplace.
She needs to shut the f**k up.

She sounds like a petty childish pain in the arse who isn't worth the time of day.
Who says stuff like that?
She needs to get a life.

I do have a fat vajayjay. Crap.

Well...I haven't had kids so maybe I'll be in luck not to have it too saggy there. lol

Yup!!!

Unfortunately it's a pretty common "problem" area. Especially if you've had kids.

Yeah unfortunately....esp if its plump...um it gonna get skinny too!! Lol

If he doesn't mind the fat then he most likely won't mind the loose skin, especially if he wants you to be active and healthy. It's easy to assume that other people have the same image of ourselves as we do but in reality, that's not always the case, especially when it comes to loved ones.

Thank you all for the replies. He said he won't mind but we'll see

Fear of the unknown.
I looked up photos of what loose skin would look like after weight loss. I understood this is a part of surgery.
I cant afford plastics.. I have the droopy skin and boobies..... There are worse things in life..
It's my cute " shar pei ness"

My friend had her tummy, va jay jay and boobs done in miami...looks good!! Im going after 2 yrs

Well if you're older at least you have an excuse lol! I'm gonna be 30 with saggy boobs

I am doing the same (expecting the worst and hoping for the best). I'd much rather have skin than fat. I'm much older so I doubt my skin will have much elasticity to it. I will probably have saggy boobs down to my knees! Lol.

I asked my surgeon that question about skin...al she said was their are no guarantees but the younger we are the easier it is to snap back...im 37 so praying!

Is it possible to not have loose skin at all? That is my biggest fear. I'm 5 weeks post op just started back at the gym - for cardio- will start weight training once I get Dr. Approval. I don't want surgery to remove it. Anyone here not need to get surgery to remove the skin? And just firmed it naturally?

I married a wonderful man. Loose skin is not an issue. We chase each other around like teenagers.

For me, I don't think the loose skin is going to be an issue. My fiance and I have been together for 13 years and he has seen me at my thinnest and my biggest and his feelings have not changed, nor has he treated me any different now that I'm very heavy. It's my opinion that any man worth his salt would do the same. However, he does worry about my health. I do plan to eventually get the skin removed when I get to that point but it's honestly because it would bother me and I want to feel good about myself. I would think that if you are big now and your partner doesn't care, then I doubt they will care when/if you have loose skin unless they have a particular attraction to bigger people... but that's another story.

Nope. It's not that bad. Even if it was, he didn't mind me being fat, so why would he mind me being less fat with a bit of sag? We're all going to end up getting older and lose skin tone and get wrinkles and change appearance, so getting used to the idea that what you see right now ain't what you're going to look like 5 years, 10 years, 20 years down the road is probably a good thing to start getting comfortable with.
Losing the weight was the best. I feel better and I can do more things and will (hopefully) live a much longer life with the guy that I love and who also loves me. THAT is what is important in my book.
I get that appearance is important, but the husband thinks I am beautiful and loves that I'm more engaged in life, more active and involved in lots of fun things, and taking more interest in clothes and my hair and stuff I'd stopped putting much effort into. I have gorgeous foundation garments now (lots of fancy stuff but just plain pretty things because I can buy shapers and they smooth and hold things in perfectly). And I have nice clothes that look damned good on me and I can shop in regular stores if I want and if the price for all of that is a bit of saggy stuff when I'm buck naked? Yeah, I'm okay with it. But then again, I might be less saggy than many I've seen, so I guess take what I'm saying with a large grain of salt.
And you say you can't afford any plastics in the event you have extreme saggy skin (not sure how much weight you have to lose and that would make a difference), but there are some instances where insurance will cover things like a Tummy Tuck if the pannus (apron of belly skin) is causing rashes (definitely discuss with your doctor since they probably will need to document stuff like that to make the case with insurance), and worst case, you cut out spending on non-essentials and get a second job or something to save like crazy so you can afford plastics a few years down the road. You can make it happen if it is truly important to you!

Your age really isn't as big an issue as other factors. It's how much weight you lose and how long you've been fat and to a lesser extent how good your genetics are (whether family members have "good skin").
If you have been very large for a long time (more than a few years anyway) it's going to mean your skin has been stretched out for such a long time that it might not bounce back as well. Obviously if you are younger, you do have a small advantage moreso than if you waited into your 40s or 50s.
But the thing to remember is that loose skin is completely cosmetic and weight the advantages for your health and enjoyment of being a normal weight vs being fat.
Frankly, cosmetically, a little loose skin is nothing to me compared to my health. I will deal with the skin if it becomes an issue, but I look waaaaaaaaay better now than when I was fat even with a bit of saggy skin.

I had the sleeve 3 months before I turned 30. I ended up looking like a big, empty sack of deflated person. Even before I had plastics though, I would far rather be saggy than be fat. I had three separate surgeries to repair the skin and for the first time in my entire adult life, I feel very confident in how I look. You can fix the skin, but you can't worry about it until you fix the fat, and to be fair, your skin isn't going to give you a heart attack, a stroke, or diabetes, so the aesthetics of how you look are less important than how you will feel when you are at a healthy weight.
