That's definitely not what I got out of the original post... she was talking about people who use the "threat" of loose skin as an excuse not to lose weight/have surgery in the first place. I do see posts like that here all the time... people tipping their toes in the Water and trying desperately to find an excuse not to change their behavior, lose weight, or have surgery.
After weight loss, I don't any person here would deride someone for having plastics to remove excess skin. I understand we're all defensive, but I think that y'all are jumping the gun and reading what you want, not what was actually said.

Maybe you should tell him you don't find shallow judgmental @$$holes attractive, either.

Got all my baking done for the season, and didn't have a taste of any of it. It simply wasn't appealing.

I have friends who are proof that the best form of contraception is their personality.

I haven't seen my ex fiance in about 10 years. She used to always wear a size 7 to 8 pants and a medium top. She was actually pretty darn attractive. I ran into her sister at Walmart. I stopped and said hi to her sister and asked how she was doing. It turns out she was standing right next to her sister and was probably close to 300 pounds. Needless to say my ex yelled at me and called me lots of colorful names. She then stormed off into Walmart and her sister turned to me and said you look damn good. Boy am I glad I got rid of her! I could care less about her physical appearance but her lovely attitude certainly isn't missed!

Men suck.

Men suck.

That I would feel so damn good all the time.

At BMI of 42, you're not just obese, you're morbidly obese, and at just about my starting size. You're not just fat, you're at a dangerously unhealthy weight that is inviting diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, etc.
I call absolute bull$hit on your husband. The surgery doesn't "fail," patients "fail to change their behavior." If his OR is seeing "lots of re-dos," what that tells me is that the surgeons/hospital are not properly preparing patients for the procedure (ie., setting them up to fail).
You're 50 and morbidly obese. Ask your husband if he wants you to die within the next 5-10 years, maybe it'll change his mind. If it doesn't, maybe you need a different husband.
I'm 4 days out and this is the best I've felt in so many years. My only regret was not doing it 5 years ago.

My surgery was November 29 and I am exactly 3 weeks out today.
I've lost 23# (30#, if you count the 7# of fluids I gained from the IV!) and I am eating real food without any problems.
I've had no pain and no nausea or vomiting. It has been the easiest thing I've ever done. I'm off basically all of my diabetes meds (including 2 types of insulin), and almost ready to go off of the remaining temporary meds, which will leave me taking only an OTC allergy pill.
Surgery was the best decision I've ever made.

"Quality" and "TexMex" in the same statement. Does not compute.

... or has there been an influx of the Rabid on the boards this past week?
I've put more holy rollers on my ignore list this week than I have since when I joined in May through November.
Here's a clue, if you have to thank your imaginary friend on every single post you make, you are NOT a well-adjusted, functioning member of society, you are a huge damn mess of mental illness.
Anyone else noticing this?

I got really sick just before Thanksgiving last year. They say that laughter is the best medicine so I bought this.

And I did this with it.

I don't think that the deer got better but I almost passed out laughing! I'm a sick man...

When you're walking around the bariatric unit in the hospital and your gym shorts are sliding off your ass.
