At this point I rather have loose skin then the embarrassment I went to go in a ride a Hershey park with my son this weekend and was told I was too big and made to get off. I was so embarrassed and ashamed.

One thing that helped me is I also suffer from depression my dr put me on Zoloft for it it took away my need to want to eat a lot unfortunately It made me really sick to my stomach so they switched my meds but I know other people who r on Zoloft for depression and have had less of a need to want to eat and lost weight.

That is the way to think don't let nothing or nobody stand in ur way I started my program four months ago I'm hoping to have my surgery in October and I'm 270 lbs and a single mom of three and I wanna be able to do more with them. I have fibromyalgia and the weight just in not helping I wanna be able to do more with my kids. I wanna feel like I have energy. So I'm right with you keep up the positive thinking and wish u all the best!!!

So I am looking to have this surgery and going through all my glasses required by my surgeon and so forth it's a total of a 6 month program I'm on my 4 th month but my main concern is I'm 270 lbs and so afraid of having loose skin and my insurance not covering skin surgery I'm interested in hearing from people who have had this surgery around my weight and if they had a bunch of loose skin at my classes they say bc I'm young yet 36( not that young lol) that it will still have a lot of elasticity I have had three kids and just don't wanna have a bunch of loose skin and stretch marks already have the stretch marks. Anyone's stories or ways to prevent loose skin ect would be greatly appreciated
